Iron Depletion in Blood related to COVID?

Oh, and after reading about the O-blood type here, I asked my mother if she knew my blood type, which she didn't, but my father had O-negative and my mother O-positive.

Your Doctor can probably tell you. It's important to know if you are Type O as 1) it makes you a universal donor, and 2) you can only receive type O if you ever need a transfusion.

You are probably type O since both parents are type O but you could be - or +. Probably a good idea to have your blood tested for type during one of your blood test. It's a nice to know thing. I was in the military and the blood type is on my dog tags. That was there in case you ever needed blood after an injury/wound. Good luck with your low iron issue, it seems to be a long process back to normal according to the posts on this website. I am on my second infusion and have a follow blood test next month. My first infusion didn't last very long.
