if those of a certain blood type are at risk of getting the virus. 
 
 
if you're blood type is A, and B, you're at risk.  those of A-, B-, AB, and O are not at risk.

Error- I have read the report -
Blood type O is perhaps somewhat less at risk - not free and clear - those people can still be infected by the Wuhan virus. No info on if disease is less severe in type O patients.  
 This is preliminary info - not definitive IMHO - so if U are type O- not recommended to go out and act crazy.  U can get sick.
Quoted above study from link above.
New research shows your blood type may make you more susceptible to  catching the novel coronavirus. The study published in Wuhan, China,  compared blood types in 2,173 people in Wuhan and Shenzhen with COVID-19  to more than 3,600 healthy people in the same areas.
 																														It showed people with type A blood may  be more likely to catch the virus and die from it. People with type O  blood may be less likely to get COVID-19.
 																														"If you are type A, there is no need to  panic. It does not mean you will be infected 100 percent," researcher  Gao Yingdai told the South China Morning Post. "If you are type O, it  does not mean you are absolutely safe, either. You still need to wash  your hands and follow the guidelines issued by authorities."
 																														The study looked at 206 people in Wuhan  who died from the virus. There were 63 percent more type A deadly cases  than type O, but the study did not explain why. A significantly higher  proportion of the world's population is also Type A than is Type O.
 																														The study has not yet been peer-reviewed.
The prevalence of the other common blood types in the U.S. is as follows:
- O+: 37.4%
 
- O-: 6.6%
 
- A+: 35.7%
 
- A-: 6.3%
 
- B+: 8.5%
 
- B-: 1.5%
 
- AB+: 3.4%
 
- AB-: 0.6%
 
The study statement that -significantly higher  proportion of the world's population is also Type A than is Type O.- is seriously incorrect.  Blood type prevalences above.  
also - a non- peer reviewed study - a preliminary report - definitively no authoritative.
