My husband is -A and was a big red cross donor as his blood is universal. I a O+
So in the article it says if you are Type-A does that mean -A or is that just a hypen be?
Hubby is A- too.
“So in the article it says if you are Type-A does that mean -A or is that just a hypen be?”
In the article, ‘Type-A’ was written in one instance, but several other times, it was written as ‘Type A,’ so I think it was simply a matter of inconsistent terminology in the way the article was written. So it was just a hyphen, it was not referring to A negative blood in the one instance where it was written as ‘Type-A.’ Whether the Rh factor has any bearing on susceptibility to Covid-19 was not mentioned in the article, so I am doubtful that it matters.
A+ with sickle cell trait - so I’m immune to malaria :-) But the mosquito’s of SE Texas LOVE the taste of my blood.
Kind of like the Blood Type diet.... likely poppycock.
I thought I was the only A neg.
O- here.
