Coronavirus Covid-19 Is it Affecting You and How?

Have y'all heard that blood type O is less likely to get Covid-19 or have a lighter case of it? I have type O blood.

Preliminary data indicates that those with Type A blood are at greater risk from COVID-19, while Type O blood may offer some protection from the virus.

So I met my dad for lunch yesterday. Amazing how abnormal something so normal has become, isn't it? But he's in his mid-eighties, with heart issues, so there's no getting around it, he's high risk. My brother (who lives with him now) is being very, very careful, and I'm not taking unnecessary risks either, but both of our communities (we live about a hundred miles apart) are steadily racking up numbers of positive cases. It's horrible to think you could be a threat to someone you love, but the potential is there, so even something as simple as a family visit needs to be evaluated in terms of risk. Our compromise was to meet at a restaurant in a community about halfway in-between. In spite of the signs on the doors reminding patrons that our governor has mandated masks in public settings, there seemed to be a lot of people walking in and out without face coverings. So, after some discussion, we decided to sit in the outdoor dining area. A bit on the warm side at this time of year, of course, but it was shady, and there was a nice breeze. It was marvelous to see them, even if I didn't dare risk hugging them (though Dad did give me a fist bump goodbye when we parted company).

Lucky Ducky - I have type A...

Our neighbor was sick for 4 weeks and he is type O so it didn’t work out for him. There seem to be no rules to this, only suggestions.

Aw, but I like false hope. Someone in our house (not me) is type O.

...just kidding, I didn't believe it either. But I WANTED to.

The latest is...........if you have a fat belly, you will get sicker and it is harder to recover. What a bunch of crap.

I decided to let the world go by and quit watching any news that I don't believe anyway.

I would not take that seriously until it's held up to scrutiny for a while. I feel like there's a lot of guessing, posturing, and postulating going around. Being cautious and doing what makes sense to us until time has had time to disprove/prove things has served us well so far.

Teresa was talking to friends this morning and two of their Mothers are in a Senior Home where Covid has broken out. I don't know the total number of residents but 23 of them have it and 4 staff members.
