The Rh Negative Blog

Coronavirus and rh negative blood

Before reading below, please note that the article in no way encourages a change in your behavior based on it. Continue social distancing, practice hygiene, do whatever it takes for you to protect yourselves and those around you from catching COVID-19 and spreading it.

For the latest updates, scroll down to the bottom of the post.

For now we don’t know a lot, but there are very strong indicators about many things we may want to pay attention to. The following I have grown to believe. Mind you: This is not doctor’s advice, but rather here for scientific entertainment (I was told that this legal term will keep me safe).

Here are related articles:

Though we don’t have data on COVID-19, these are valid indicators.
Remember my disclaimer above. This is not a promise or a prediction, but a possibility that needs to be examined.

ADDED:

The following are updates, based on feedback. Feedback requiring more explanations as well as additional information.

Body temperature is higher than 26 Celsius of course which many of you have wisely pointed out. However, if you want to argue something, make sure you first educate yourself. Go to Google and read up on the character of a virus inside vs. outside of its host.

Hot temperatures outside do not matter when you avoid going there and are in contact with people inside where it’s cool. Some of the people I’ve had to explain this to claimed to be medical professionals. This is part of the reason why we have so little solutions and so little opposition when it comes to medical rights.

In hotter climates, the recovery rate for those infected appears to also be higher:

“There is a thing called the viral load which is the quantity of the viruses that enter your body, the less viruses you get the more chance you get to recover, this is why extreme heat & sunlight can effect the transmission, even if you get the virus you will get small doses of the virus which decreases the severity of the disease.”

(Thank you, Ahmed Al-Eqabi)

Viral load, also known as viral burden, viral titre or viral titer, is a numerical expression of the quantity of virus in a given volume. It is often expressed as viral particles, or infectious particles per mL depending on the type of assay.

I have been asked by self-proclaimed “researchers” to provide a reference or own study, but for some reasons doing a simple search in medical journals or on Google didn’t provide them with a results. “The way that you do anything is the way that you do everything” is a phrase I more than ever believe to be true.

Mind you also, that when people use their degree to gain importance during a discussion shines a light on two types of people in medical/scientific communities:

1) Active researchers. Their degree is a tool to find out what hasn’t been discovered yet.
2) The complacent ones who like to go on Quora and Facebook and avoid research by any means necessary. Their degree becomes their identity and the information once provided to them is more than enough for them.
Be careful with those who claim a degree, yet cannot provide answers to the more difficult questions and make claims that outside temperature impacts the virus when you avoid going outside.

This article isn’t written for the medical community, but everyone. I am also not interested in false hope, but I am guilty of wanting to end the panic. It is possible, that the virus will, after doing much more damage, disappear in summer due to less spreading and all nations doing more to control and get rid of it.

The following study of mine also highlights potential resistance among subjects with an Rh(D) negative blood type:

Worse Health Status and Higher Incidence of Health Disorders in Rhesus Negative Subjects

RhD negative subjects have increased the risk of developing of certain heart diseases, respiratory diseases and some immunity and autoimmunity related diseases, for example rheumatoid arthritis. The general pattern suggests that RhD negative subjects could have problems with autoimmunity, could be more resistant to infections of viral origin and could be less resistant to infections of bacterial origin.

Please also not that the original article was primarily focused on the potential correlation between Rh(D) negative people and blood and likelihood of COVID-19 infection. Since sharing this post on Facebook, interest has been mainly on the part of the post revolving around the possible connection between climate and spreading of the virus. Therefore the nature of the post has changed, mainly due to additions made in response to questions received.

As I have just learned, it appears that blood type A+ appears to be the blood type making people most vulnerable to the virus. Since O is the most protected one, it had to be A or B with AB being second worst.
