The premise is that if you can donate blood to someone, it is easier for you to transmit a virus to them. This agrees with observations that though AB is rare and more data needed, AB might in fact be worst off when it comes to getting infected with the coronavirus SARS-2.
There are many other factors in place, but this particular part is about infection and spreading.
Overall, the likelihood to get infected is said to be:
AB>A>B>O
That would mean:
O can easily catch it from O. A from A and O. B from B and O, but since B frequencies are so low, A is more likely to catch it due to high percentages of blood type A people in this world.

That makes sense. I thought being b negative i was more at risk from what i read. Well i work in high risk job to contract covid. The comment on Ethnic groups most effected are the patients i treat. I most certainly do not wish any person to become ill. I am hands on there are no remote options for my job. I feel less anxious than i did yesterday. Knowing i may be a but safer. Its scary thinking everyday you may become sick from work. I was confused i thought i read O was most resistant. Thanks for the clarity.
this is a theory – this article – he seeks proof for it. O’s still seem to be more resistant, but according to his blood group spreading theory, O’s would be the super-spreaders perhaps if infected – spreading the virus to other blood types more easily: O to A … O to B … A to AB & B to AB …that’s the directional spread according to his theory and not the reverse order. so, O’s can catch it by themselves and only catch it from other O’s perhaps – while AB’s can catch it from all blood types (O, A & B) including their own blood type group. Rh(D) status wasn’t mentioned as i recall, but being Rh (D) negative appears to be beneficial/a good thing.
