Study finds no evidence to support link between ABO blood group and COVID-19 risk
Researchers from the Boston University School of Public Health in the United States say there is no evidence to support a correlation between ABO blood group and the risk of infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) or the severity of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
The team’s systematic review of studies assessing the correlation between the ABO blood group and COVID-19 risk found that the majority are of low quality and subject to major methodologic flaws.
Furthermore, the few higher-quality studies that do exist found no association between ABO blood type and COVID outcomes adds Eleanor Murray and colleagues.

In the latest evidence that the coronavirus pandemic has harmed peopleâs mental health, Boston College researchers say reports of anxiety and depression among Americans increased in 2020 to levels more than six times higher than the year before.
âThe COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted nearly all aspects of life, leading to rising mortality rates, increasing economic inequities, and gross disturbances in peopleâs daily lives and social interactions. Perhaps not surprisingly, these myriad stressors have led to rising rates of mental health disorder symptoms,â the researchers reported earlier this month in the journal Translational Behavioral Medicine.
The silent pandemic: Social isolation and loneliness

OVER 700,000 Covid cases and 10,500 deaths and one year later, we are about to see another prolonged lockdown in Bangladesh. This means further social isolation associated with quarantine measures and added uncertainty at an already precarious moment in our lives. That being said, there seems to be little or no discussion about the mental health pandemic that is hitting young people at an all-time high. As Prothom Alo reported earlier this year, Bangladesh had recorded 70 percent more deaths from suicide than from the pandemic in the first year of the coronavirus outbreak. Almost half of the deceased were aged 20-35 years old, while 35 percent were aged 5-19, and 16 percent were aged 36-80.
