I tried to post this story on Facebook yesterday and they blocked it as “abusive”.

53% of Hispanics in the US are believed to have O Positive as their blood type, making them the largest ethnicity with this type of blood.

Caucasians are more likely to be A Positive than any other ethnic group.

Asians are more likely to be B Positive and AB Positive than any other ethnic group.

Your post was evidently "hemophobic"

A+ here also. I’ll wait for more facts to come out before I hang myself.

That settles it for me! I'm running out and buying the Corvette I always wanted. I'm gonna die soon anyway .... ha!

Well, I have A blood, darn it! Good news, I live on 640 acres, am prepped for months and don’t have to leave home for work often but when I do the office will be empty except for me.

I’m calm....my blood type is something I have no control over.

Not sure I buy this study -

You have to understand that Chinese science is very... “superstitious” about blood type and think it also determines your personality along with some other homeopathic health conditions/benefits.

While it’s possible this study could be true - I’d take it with a grain of salt.

About a week ago we were told that genetic differences play no part in susceptibility and discussing it was racist. The thought police have changed their minds.

Oh well, type A, 70 and type 2. Imma go eat a donut and start smoking again (not likely).

I'm screwed!😲

The article did not mention the Rh factor, so I’m guessing
it doesn’t matter. My blood type is A negative :-{

I'm thinking as negatives we're utterly immune.
Hold muh beer while I lick this doorknob...
