The premise is not B+ cannot get Covid.

The premise is maybe B+ has an advantage that its harder for them to get Covid.

Like John Hollis a man with super antibodies in his blood that makes him immune to the Covid.

Or Stephen Lyon Crohn the man that cannot get AIDS.

All his lovers died from AIDS but he didn't and found out that he has super antibodies in his blood that make it immune to AIDS.

Does this sound like the real reason behind our open-leg policy? To resuscitate the national airline?   😁

Singapore to 'carefully restore' air links with China; PPE requirements stepped up for Changi Airport staff

Singapore will “carefully restore” air connectivity with China while monitoring the evolving COVID-19 situation globally, Transport Minister S Iswaran said in Parliament on Monday (Jan 9), a day after China reopened its borders. 

There are currently 38 weekly flights between the two countries, including two recently approved flights to Beijing. This works out to an average of five to six flights between Singapore and China per day at Changi. 

“To put this in context, it is less than 10 per cent of the number of flights pre-COVID between China and Singapore … and about 1.5 per cent of the total flights handled by Changi today,” explained Mr Iswaran.

I think they should turn left to Macau to pick up a bargain.

I have never seen so many shops selling so many high end branded watches in my life.

I never knew my bosses pick up used ones. They can always afford new ones. 

Me too, I don't prefer used as you don't know how and who owns it before. I pan tang type

@Arogab 

I just had long video call with company subsidiary in China, Fu Jian.

They also share that the worst is more or less over and they are almost back to normal life. 

Many elderly passed away past few weeks with the younger ones mostly recovered.

I don't hear our colleagues say their elderly passed away. All of them now just say worry the older ones will get it. But all return back to normal

I think there is something to B+ and immunity

Immunity: It has been found that people with B-positive blood groups possess a strong immune system and stable nervous system. Healthy individuals with a B-positive blood group can have fewer risks to diseases as compared to other types.

Advantages: Persons with a B-positive blood group usually have strong immune systems.

Disadvantages: Persons having a B positive blood group are not good at multitasking and tend to keep themselves isolated from others.

So it maybe that B+ people less likely to get Covid because

B-positive blood groups possess a strong immune system

and tend to keep themselves isolated from others.

Both helps!

I only isolate myself from MIL

“Bourla said that talks with China on future pricing for the treatment had broken off after China had asked for a lower price than Pfizer is charging for most lower middle income countries.

"They are the second highest economy in the world and I don't think that they should pay less than El Salvador," Bourla said.”
