It's so weird to me that blood types might be the difference in getting hammered and hardly affected. Is this common among viruses?

Glad you're feeling better and thanks for posting.
The fact that you couldn't get tested irritates the piss out of me. We need to be testing 10x more people if we want this to stop anytime soon.
Part of me thinks we're not testing more because the numbers would be scary and people would panic. But it's what we need to do.
I agree with hacker on this one ... need to be testing everyone with symptoms. Right now Alabama has 3563 positive and over 20K negatives. Maybe that's why they are selective in testing but IMO need to test anyone with symptoms. And what you had are the symptoms.
Nah I have no idea on that and the study that started that hubbub came from China. So I didn't even bother trying to talk about it. At this point I feel it's fair to operate on "Don't believe China and their lies." Same country that said there's no proof of human-to-human transmission.
All is sketchy

Seems to be true for malaria at least:

The drive thru testing stations screwed everything up because healthy folks were getting tested. I was shocked when they told me they wouldn't test me. And trust me..... the first 5 days of what I had were unbearable. Couldn't even walk to the bathroom at times. I told my doctor everything and even told UAB and they simply said to self isolate for 7 days and quarantine for at least another 7 days. I'm going to isolate for as long as possible because I don't want anyone getting what I had / have.
Either way..... it's disturbing that they're turning people down to take a test because they don't fit "they're criteria." I've had trouble breathing for 14 days now and that isn't criteria enough. Unfortunately, there's people with my symptoms still going out and grocery shopping.
I work in the food industry and my admin assistant just got covid as well (2 weeks after I started getting symptoms). We are the only two (so far) that have showed any symptoms. I honestly believe I got it grocery shopping. End of March, the grocery stores were packed. I washed my hands and took precautions.
Be careful and wear a mask. I've had the flu,
Strep throat, and even spinal meningitis as a kid. Nothing has kept me out of commission like this for two weeks (and counting). I think as myself to be healthy and this thing has kicked my ass (but I have lost 10 pounds so far).
Defiantdog,
I had those symptoms too, the shortness of breath is down right scary. I apparently contacted mine around March 6 (wedding with out of town guests) and just fully recovered last Thursday. I felt, last week end and most of last week, like I had a relapse. The relapse was just as intense, symptoms wise, as the first time I went through it. Weird as hell! My doctor would not test me either since my fever was not above 101.5.
I have o+ blood and in good health with no underlining conditions but I am 62.
