I didn’t realize the A- and B- was so rare. Thanks for the correction.

Figured it must have been posted already but searched on this site as well as Google before posting.

Regardless, this makes me wonder if this could explain why some people who get CV aren’t affected as severely?

From the article

As per the study, the normal population in Wuhan has a blood type distribution of 31 percent type A, 24 percent type B, 9 percent type AB, and 34 percent type O.

O- Negative

Universal donor.
Rarest type
Most used in emergencies where there is no time to type the blood
Several times over the years the hospital has called in the night for me to give blood.



O- isnt the rarest of the 8 common blood types (AB- is). 0- is more common than AB+/-, B-, and A-. But the rest of your stuff is true.

0- isnt the most rare. AB- is less than 1%, while O- is 8%.
How did you look up the % of o- without seeing that there were 4 other types with lower %?

I didn’t look it up. That’s why I was wrong. I knew my type was only 8% from memory. And remembered some of the other numbers from school.
