Coronavirus (SARS-Cov-2) - Blood Types and Susceptibility - Update 10

This is update 10 of the SARS-CoV-2 discussions we've been having on my Twitch livestreams. This was pulled from a livestream on March 18th, 2020 (apologies for the emotes flying around and the background music). This video goes into a paper the was recently released regarding how different blood types might be more susceptible to COVID-19. I first go over blood types so we can fully understand the paper. I then go over my skepticism about the paper starting at 10:25.
Topics expressed in these videos are mine and mine alone. I am not a medical doctor and all advice you take regarding this virus should be taken from proper agencies like the CDC. The purpose of my streams is to promote awareness and look at the virus from a scientific perspective.
Blood Type Paper: doi.org/10.1101/2020.03.11.20...

Appreciate the support, everyone! These videos have gotten way more views that I expected. I'll work on producing more off-stream so that there aren't as many distractions popping up. Also, I'm transitioning to online teaching, which is my primary focus, so I won't be able to put out as many coronavirus videos. I'll do my best to keep up with things. You'll see lots of my teaching videos popping up in my channel, though!

@@taliadavid858 Do you have a link to the particular paper(s) in question? I haven't seen much talk on this topic in relation to COVID19

[@DrWD40]

@@taliadavid858 A strain of HIV gains entry via both the CCR4 and CD4 receptors on T cells. People who are immune to that strain have the homozygous delta 32 deletion. I haven't read anything about HIV using ACE2. SARS-Cov-2 has only been shown to use ACE2 so they have separate mechanisms of entry. Also the rhesus factor is on chromosome 1 where CCR5 is on chromosome 3 and the delta 32 deletion isn't linked to a negative rh factor. Those are separate genes. I could be misunderstanding what you're trying to say though. Some HIV drugs (lopinavir-ritonavir) were tested and deemed not effective in a study against COVID-19. Some trials are still ongoing though. Besides that study there hasn't been other links between the two viruses. At this time there is little data that supports the link between CCR5 and immunity to COVID19. "ccr5 covid-19" returned 0 results on pubmed. I searched the original SARS and very few results as well. I worry the genetic testing site is pushing that theory for people to pay for tests to see if they have the delta 32 deletions. email is [e-mail] but there isn't really too much more I can add on the topic since the data is lacking.

Cassandra Meiselbach You’re absolutely kidding yourself if you think some “cleanse” is accomplishing anything. That’s not how the body and the immune system work. Parasites are living things. Viruses are not. I don’t know where your “research” is coming from, but any good feeling you’re experiencing is clearly the result of the placebo effect. Try doing some actual research, like learning how the scientific method works, rather than spreading misinformation.

[@terrietackett8964]

I never had the flu as a child or teenager, or had a flu shot. When I was in the Navy, I lied, and said I was allergic to eggs, so didn’t get the flu shot, and never had the flu. In 1992, I had my first flu shot, and came down with the Hong Kong flu. I took no flu shots since then. I’m 64 now, and have had the flu only that one time in 1992. I’m A+.

[@sylviagenders2508]

I had the Hong Kong flu as a child, but never got it again. My doctor was almost yelling at me because I would not let him give me flu vaccines. My mother had had typhoid as a child, and had a very bad reaction to a typhoid booster as an adult; my son went autistic after his second MMR in 1972, when they were still using live materials; and my left eye lid fell down and drooped heavily ever after a tetanus booster. I won't take vaccines because of all that, plus because of the mercury, aluminum and possibly human fetal tissue. What the mercury does to nerve synapses was filmed by U Calgary in the early 90's. The physician himself had no idea what was in the vaccine he wanted to give me. And it's a catch-22, take our medical treatment, but we won't be responsible if anything goes wrong. So I don't see this as scientific at all, because if they don't know the outcome, then naturopathic medicine cannot be condemned as being unscientific for the same reason, uncertainty of outcome and inability to reliably replicate results. What other people do is their business, and to its credit, our local hospital posts the informational pros and cons on vaccination openly.

[@InkdNXS]

@Camille Cassatt Mainly, how our rh- factor interacts with a variety of food and pharmaceuticals. It can be fatal. Some RH-s can't tolerate any type of chemical interactions from anything man made. I've almost died in the hospital a few times for different reasons. They always have an excuse that doesn't consider your blood factor. There are also diets for each specific blood type & factor that can explain a lot. I was fortunate enough to have a Dr to admit this to me, but they wouldn't put it on paper. Kind of odd imo. (Edited to correct a spelling error)

I’m A+ haven’t had a cold in 3 years! Then in early/mid March, I felt a tickle in my throat, started a slight cough the next day. Two weeks later, still had a sore throat and cough and then my eyes started to secrete mucus like a mild version of pink eye, my lungs had a burning sensation for the next two weeks as if I just finished a hard sprint, sporadic dizziness for the next 4 weeks with headaches off and on. Finally, as of today, I have a light cough. Oh, and extreme fatigue and loss of appetite on and off. It felt like I was feeling better, then I would regress and would feel horrible for the next several days! This happened every few weeks!

Higher risk than the other people. I have 4 autoimmune diseases with the Addison's being the dangerous one combined with this. Common cold can put in the ICU. My cousin has lupus and it's bad for her as well. Do you also stay anemic or have to get infusions? I do both, not to mention other health problems like AFIB. I believe my survival rate was very low after talking with my doctor, the take blood thinner and med for the AFIB which raises the risk. I'm not sure if this helps but it's what I was told by the Dr.

There’s something going on with O having both A & B antigens. That’s the difference between the susceptibility between O and B. They should look at that... it’s the combination of A and B antigens... not just A antigens. That is the key to why O is less susceptible and symptomatic/morbid.

[@shariwilliams618]

@@1tnt490 @Anita Plamer I didn't say group O and AB both have A and B antigens. I was correcting one of the comments from the video. I'll try to explain better. Group O has A and B antibodies but lack A and B antigens. I said he probably misspoke in this video. I was talking about the part where he said Group O has A and B antigens (this is wrong). It is actually group AB that has A and B antigens and lack A and B antibodies.

Question, the discussion is about blood type, but leaves out the rH factor and the virus tagging proteins. Could there be an effect with O- and B- compared to A+ and O+ blood types? Interesting paper, but I believe you are correct in stating way to preliminary. Thanks for the video.

At least you explained your scope of typing, because blood typing is like solving a crossword puzzle with dozens of factors.

Question 2; I remember my Mother that I had a rare "O-"type and they were worried about my younger sister upon conception! I have 3 older siblings that all have my Mothers type and told me that I have my Father's type "O-" is what she told me! Years later, when I had it tested it came back "O+" ?!? What happened? was my Mother mistaken or did the "Rh" factor somehow get introduced to my body??? I distinctly remember what she told me. I've never had a blood transfusion but have had numerous surgeries for major traumas over the years. I never catch bad colds and the last time I had a mild flu w/fever was shortly after getting a required flue shot !!! Never got another and been HEALTHY since! Please HELP!?!? Captain BUCKLEY(ret.)

[@kevinjewell233]

Like yourself I had a flu shot in Europe and then was sicker than any flu I had before growing up in the States. Since that shot 20 years ago I only got sick with bad colds until 2 years ago...but since then I've been fine with a occasional cold. Never got another flu shot and God knows I'm not about to.

[@hollykey260]

O - is not rare (about 15% of the US population has O- blood. I have it as well and so does my husband. You can not acquire Rh + without a bone marrow transplant). Your father was either Rh positive or you have a different father or you are Rh positive. Two Rh negative people can not produce an Rh positive offspring.

[@capttom7772]

Holly Key; I realize I was not exactly clear; my Mother was "Rh+" while my father was "O-" so the question remains; How did I switch from "O-" to "O+"???

[@hollykey260]

Capt Tom you have to have been Rh pos all along. You could not have switched from a negative to a positive or vice versa. I bet someone just told you incorrectly. If you have typed O positive, you have always been O positive unless you have had a bone marrow transfusion. Sorry. 😊

You're high risk anyways. But there's ways you can prevent from getting it including watching exactly what you touch with your body and hands, washing your hands, staying away from others and or 6 ft away and or wearing a mask, and antibacterializing packaging on everything you bring in the home, etc. Follow these guidelines and you'll be fine. Best wishes to you in this time. I have zero immune system so I expect to have it. Hoping I survive.

I'm sticking with my mantra: I have B+, so I will have/display a positive attitude.

Not sure if that's blood type, but I'm grateful. One thing I'd be interested to know is how much Neanderthal genetics I have and how that works to my favor/disadvantage, as science has linked our immune system to Neanderthal and have postulated that their immune system was strong, so perhaps that has a say in things?
