Thanks

Thanks for keeping flag of Hacker Public Radio high up and doing the community episode all by yourself. Listening to recap of whole previous month worth of episodes is one of those things that I look forward when a new month starts.

Comment #2 posted on 2020-05-05 17:10:37 by Dave Morriss

No problem

I appreciate the feedback, tuturto. I also feel the Community News is an important part of HPR, and the show must go on as they say!

Blood type distribution

Dave mentioned in passing that 0+ would be an unusual blood type.

One might think so when just looking at how the alleles work. All you need is one A or one B allele and then the 0+ would be overruled. One might be tempted to believe that it's 25% each of 0, A, B and AB. But that assumes an even distribution of genes.

My blood type is A+, and I grew up being taught it was the most common one. When I moved to Hong Kong I learned that blood type distribution is not universal. Someone told me my blood type was "unusual".

While A+ is not exactly unusual, in China (and I assume HK) near 50% of the population is 0+, while A+ is at around 25%.

It's also not as dominant in Sweden as I was led to believe. 37% of Swedes are A+ while 32% are 0+.

In the UK and US, 0+ is somewhat more common than A+, the reverse of the Swedish distribution.

I loved the show

You did a good job, Dave. Though I am guessing you would like to have Ken back next time!

Comment #5 posted on 2020-05-06 13:12:48 by Dave Morriss

Re: Blood type distribution

Thanks clacke.

I think I was confusing "I have learnt this stuff" with "I know about this stuff" and got a bit muddled! Now I think of it, I was learning about blood groups more than 50 years ago!

It's an interesting subject though and I must go and refresh my dwindling/dwindled knowledge about it all.

Thanks Ahuka

I'm glad you enjoyed the show.

In having run through it earlier, when Mumble refused to record anything for me, I obviously gave myself an accidental rehearsal, so maybe the show wasn't as disjointed as it could have been :-)

Yes, it's more fun when there are two of us to discuss and banter a bit, so I prefer the normal setup.
