Dr. Siegel said that this morning, that preliminary research shows blood type might make a difference.

Type A seems to be the most vulnerable, and Type O seems to be the most resistant. But he emphasized that a lot more research needs to be done before that becomes a medical conclusion.

Still an interesting aspect to this, though.

Very interesting. Also quite interesting how this seems to have almost no affect at all on those under the age of 9. Very different from the regular Flu that the youngest populations are also a part of the high risk group.

I really want to see statistics on smoking and vaping as well. I'm convinced a lot of the younger cases are connected to that - just a theory.

Would make a lot of sense, given that CV-19 hits the lungs.

Yeah just common sense tells you smoking would be horrible for this. Gonna hope my 420 use doesn't hurt me, but I'm about to be out soon anyway and way too scared to go get more haha.

Just found an article on this on Fox.

I'm O+. But I'm also 72 with an underlying medical issue, lol.

Same with Lyme Disease. "A" gets hit way worse than "O"...

I'm O, smoke 'em all, and was hospitalized with pneumonia 3 yrs. ago...

This Dr. Siegel?

Quote: On March 6, Fox News chief medical contributor Dr. Marc Siegel, a prominent part of the network’s coronavirus coverage, told Sean Hannity that “this virus should be compared to the flu. Because at worst, at worst, worst case scenario it could be the flu.”

Blood type stuff hit big in our 'health food' industry about 20 years ago. Somebody has always been trying to link blood type to something. Here are the foods that different blood types supposedly should eat .

https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/diet...7051211678

Type O blood: A high-protein diet heavy on lean meat, poultry, fish, and vegetables, and light on grains, beans, and dairy.

Type A blood: A meat-free diet based on fruits and vegetables, beans and legumes, and whole grains -- ideally, organic and fresh.

Type B blood: Avoid corn, wheat, buckwheat, lentils, tomatoes, peanuts, and sesame seeds. Chicken is also problematic. Eating green vegetables, eggs, certain meats, and low-fat dairy is recommended.

Type AB blood: Foods to focus on include tofu, seafood, dairy, and green vegetables. He says people with type AB blood tend to have low stomach acid. Avoid caffeine, alcohol, and smoked or cured meats.

Read this. It isn't Siegel's numbers, he just passed it along.

https://www.foxnews.com/health/people-bl...tudy-finds

And he happens to be a leading U.S. expert on H1N1.

And what he said in context was in the U.S. this at worst will be the same # of deaths as the flu, which kills up to 70-80K a year. Let me know when it goes past that number in the U.S.

And since then (2 weeks ago), if you were paying attention, he has increasingly sounded the alarm.

P.S. And before you criticize Fox, your out of context quote came from Media Matters, a real paragon of non-partisan info.

I've been using edibles the last several months. I'd rather smoke it since you can better control your intake, but thankful now that my old source moved away and I've been stuck with edibles since. Being a white collar 40 year old... not a lot of options in my network.

I hate edibles for the XACT! reason you stated....too unpredictable....

and yeah, 'sources' are unreliable in today's genre...I'm one of the lucky ones....

In Italy they are reportedly seeing that smokers are getting the brunt of this. Highest percentage of contraction and deaths.

I live in Cali, where it's all available, but I don't smoke or eat any thc stuff.

I do use the CBD ointment and oils sometimes--excellent for inflammation and pain in general.

As we all know, THC is derived from the female part of the plant; CBD is the male part of the plant. There are CBD products that are derived from the Pine Tree which have no THC at all and our bodies do make their own CBDs, albeit in very small amounts.

If you use full spectrum CBD formulas derived from Hemp, they have trace amounts of THC.

Many folks here have switched to CBD, or they are using the THC not as often. CBD is not a high--more balancing, just in general, than THC.
