I've struggling to find some expert medical opinions on this study yet. And then there's the question why is blood type playing a role here?

@jack32, I'm wondering in my mind knowing why blood type makes a difference either way? I really get why you want to know but if the main goal is not to get COVID-19, isn't it better to focus on things you can control? I'm blood type A positive myself. I know I can't change my blood type. So if I know people with blood type A+ are higher at risk, my choices are to do everything in my power to protect myself from getting the virus.

I suspect blood type plays a role in a lot of different health conditions but I really don't know. Maybe someone else may be able to provide an answer.
