"You are so awesome, you still don't have yang! By the way, let me ask you, what is your blood type ?"
"Blood type? I was really confused by your question. I don't know. Why are you asking?"
"Don't they all say that people with O blood type have better health and are more likely to live a long and healthy life? Is it an infection? The risk of coronavirus is also lower? "
"I don't know about this, but I feel that the two have nothing to do with each other."
Xiao Li asked Xiao Liu this during the meal. Afterwards, everyone talked about the relationship between blood type and infection with the new coronavirus. They analyzed the blood types of people around them who were positive and those who were not positive, hoping to find something, but after some discussion, everyone did not reach a consensus.
Is blood type really related to infection with new crown ? So, which one is less susceptible to infection? Which one is relatively easy to get infected? Is it reliable to judge risk based on blood type?
blood type is related to infection with COVID-19?
In fact, regarding the relationship between the two, researchers conducted research two years ago and discovered the connection between them.
A study in the "New England Journal of Medicine" found that:
People with type O blood have a lower risk of contracting the new coronavirus, while people with type A blood have a relatively higher risk of infection and severe disease.
However, researchers also said that cannot yet determine a direct connection between the two..
It can be seen that although research has found that there is a certain connection between them, it is not inevitable, just a correlation. Therefore, I hope everyone will treat it rationally and not fall into the trap just because of this.
Because under normal circumstances, blood type does not change the day after tomorrow, it cannot be said that this blood type will definitely cause infection or not. For people with type O blood, it is recommended that you not neglect self-protection and relax a little if you think the risk is low. For people with type A blood, it is recommended not to be too anxious and worried, and not to worry unfoundedly.
No matter which blood type you have, you should take personal protection to reduce the risk of infection. Although there are many "little positive people" around us now, and some are already positive, we are reminded that everyone should still pay attention to it and don't think that you don't need to worry if you have already been infected. Some people have already experienced relapse and secondary infection of and .
Compared with blood types, the risk of infection is relatively high for the following categories of people. Check it out and hope you are not among them:
The first category of people: smokers.
The British " Guardian " reported that research shows that smokers are 80% more likely to be infected with the new coronavirus than ordinary people. The study analyzed data from more than 400,000 people and found that the risk of infection among old smokers was more than double that of ordinary people.
I believe that many people who still smoke are more or less aware of the dangers of long-term smoking to health. Now research has also found that it is also related to infection with the new coronavirus. Therefore, I hope that smokers will pay attention to it and quit smoking as soon as possible for the health of themselves and their families.
The second type of people: the elderly.
Generally speaking, the immunity of the elderly is worse, and the new crown will affect the health of the human immune system, and their risk of infection is relatively higher. Not only that, the risk of developing severe disease after infection is also relatively high, especially for older people with underlying diseases..
The third type of people: sick people.
itself is sick, and immune function is easily affected. In this state, the risk of infection is higher than that of healthy people. For example, tumor patients, kidney disease patients, diabetes patients, patients with blood diseases , etc.
The fourth type of people: people with severe cold and dampness in the body.
From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine , the new coronavirus is the evil of cold and dampness, and people who already have severe cold and dampness in their bodies are more likely to be affected. For example, after infection, some people not only experience muscle aches, fatigue and other discomforts, but also have more obvious symptoms of back pain and buttock pain. This may be related to the heavier cold and dampness in the body.
People who are not easily infected often have some things in common. Their immunity is relatively good, and they generally pay more attention to personal protection. Because the new coronavirus is very contagious, even if you have good immunity, if you don't pay attention and pay attention to protection, the probability of being infected will increase. In addition, for this type of people, the physical symptoms after infection may be relatively mild, or they may be infected but have no symptoms. has better resistance .
For female friends, are pregnant women at greater risk of infection than ordinary people?
Qiao Jie, the dean of Peking University Third Hospital, Qiao Jie, said that overall, their infection rate is close to that of the general population, and their physical manifestations after infection are also similar, and the infection does not have more impact.
However, for this group of people, it is not a bad thing to pay more attention. Especially for pregnant women with underlying diseases such as diabetes, they must pay more attention to protecting themselves and adjusting their mentality.
In recent times, there are more people who are positive for and . For pregnant women, if they are not infected, they still need to pay attention to regular check-ups. However, during this special period, it is recommended to ask your doctor in advance and wear a mask when going to the hospital. If you are unable to check on time for some reasons, don't be too anxious. You should also contact your doctor in time and adjust the time reasonably.
In short, although studies have found that there is a certain connection between different blood types and the risk of contracting the new coronavirus, it is not absolute. Compared with this factor, everyone should pay more attention to the above points. These groups of people are relatively more susceptible and should pay more attention to prevention. If you are infected, you should maintain a positive attitude and take more rest during the period. People who have turned negative should also pay attention to this.
