People with type A blood were significantly more likely to contract virus
In the general population Type O blood (34%) is more common than A (32%)
But in the infected this was reversed with Type O just 25% while Type A was 41%

People with Type A blood are significantly more likely to catch coronavirus than those with Type O, Chinese academics have found.
The study in Wuhan - the epicentre of the disease - also found those with Type A blood are more likely to die from COVID-19.
In the general population Type O blood (34%) is more common than A (32%). However, among COVID-19 patients, people with Type O accounted for just 25%, whereas Type A made up 41%.
People with Type O blood made up a quarter (25 per cent) of deaths in the research. Normally, Type O people make up 32 per cent of people in Wuhan.
