Have to cancel our Christmas Eve party.

Early on in the pandemic blood type was briefly mentioned as a contributing factor for moderate/severe symptom development. IIRC type A was the most hammered type, but the information was sketchy, based on small sample sizes, and incomplete. I have no idea if that line of thought was ever studied rigorously as a factor or if there was really anything to it when the sample sizes were increased. The CDC tracked it in their demographics at one point but I have no idea if they still are.

there were some but I don't think they could draw any conclusions that were 100% accurate

People with type 0 blood are the least susceptible to getting the virus.

We should be able to now compare blood types with similar contributing comorbidities and make some determination. At the time, we were not sure what the comorbidities were, other than age. I do think that there will be an increased risk for a blood type(s) but not any kind of eureka moment.

In and of itself, that is not valuable information. Are they more susceptible to developing moderate/severe symptoms is the concerning question, IMHO.

Johns Hopkins was researching it, but I haven't found any updates within the last year.

regardless, I don't think it matters enough to say "oh, I'm blood type X so therefore I can tell COVID to fuck off"
 
We skipped the family parties this year. I really prefer just being at my own home w my own family versus trucking everybody around on these precious days off. I like to chill out.

I agree and figure that is why we haven't seen more on it. Just scanning the study from @White Knight link, the word slightly is used discussing the blood type that handled covid the best.

exactly...couldn't draw a concrete conclusion. COVID doesn't discriminate by bloodtype
