Blood type may determine COVID-19 susceptibility?

New research suggests your blood type could determine how vulnerable you are to COVID-19. 

According to two separate international studies, those with Type-O blood appear to be less vulnerable to infection.

If they do get it, they have a lower likelihood of severe complications, including organ failure. 

Conversely, those with the A, and AB blood groups seem to be at a higher risk of more severe clinical outcomes.
