Genes, blood type tied to risk of severe Covid-19

FWIW, The blood type correlation had already been found by a months-old study in China. But that was via ordinary blood type tests, not GWAS. I guess it lends credibility to this method that their findings are consistent with the other study.

As the proud owner of ~5 liters of type-A blood, I’m less than pleased to see this finding confirmed.

I presume A+ falls under A... ?

Yes, the +/- denotes another, not correlated property. I'll leave finding out details as an exercise to the reader.
