You know, I'm married, and I've never had any problems with THG or Crunchy.... I wonder if having observational skills or brain matter has something to do with me NOT having a problem with some men... Just maybe...

Goodbye, kind world (George Monbiot) - In common with all those generations which have contemplated catastrophe, we appear to be incapable of understanding what confronts us.
Quote: He did not have a guess about why the higher numbers of men who become infected and die from the virus: https://www.businessinsider.com/coronavirus-cases-why-more-men-than-women-2020-2
Quote:A study of more than 44,000 confirmed coronavirus cases in China offers one of the broadest pictures of how the virus operates in humans so far. The study found that men are more likely to die of the virus, with a fatality rate of 2.8% compared to 1.7% for women. Men also represented a slight majority of cases: around 51%. Other recent research has produced similar results. A study of nearly 140 coronavirus patients at a Wuhan University HOSPITAL found that the virus was most likely to AFFECT older men with preexisting health problems. More than 54% of the patients in the study were men, and the median age of patients was 56. A study of 99 coronavirus patients at Wuhan Jinyintan HOSPITAL showed that the average patient was 55.5 years old, and men represented around 68% of the total cases. A third study of nearly 1,100 coronavirus patients (IN HOSPITAL?) (which is still awaiting peer review) identified a median age of 47, with men representing around 58% of the cases.
Quote: https://www.usnews.com/news/health-news/articles/2020-02-28/coronavirus-strikes-men-older-people-the-hardest Men have died from coronavirus at nearly twice the rate as women, and the virus has been shown to sicken and kill older folks at a greater rate than young people, according to data from China. About 80% of people who have died from the virus in China were over 60 years of age, China's National Health Commission has reported. Studies in The Lancet found an average age of 55 among Chinese citizens who've developed pneumonia as a result of coronavirus infection.
Quote: For example, men in China smoke at a much higher rate than women, research has shown. More than half of Chinese men smoke, compared with around 3% of women. It turns out smoking activates a receptor used by the coronavirus to infect human cells, ACE-2, Poland said. "That is the speculation behind why we are seeing such an unreasonably high severe case and fatality rate inside China," Poland noted.
Quote:More factors: https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/medical/these-underlying-conditions-make-coronavirus-more-severe-and-theyre-surprisingly-common/ar-BB10ZdOC High blood pressure, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease are so commonplace that everyone reading these words likely knows somebody with at least one of these maladies. They are also the “underlying conditions” most associated with severe cases of COVID-19, based on early clinical profiles on the disease. Even though 80 percent of COVID-19 cases are mild, these reports reveal that the novel coronavirus can endanger people other than the elderly and infirm. The idea that the virus only poses a threat to older people comes from focusing too heavily on COVID-19’s death rate, which the World Health Organization updated last Wednesday to 3.4 percent. This rate is an average across ages, and the chances of dying do rise among older people. But evidence also shows that COVID-19 is more fatal across all age groups than seasonal influenza, with death rates six to 10 times higher for those under 50. Moreover, death isn’t the only danger, and severe cases of COVID-19 are more common among young adults than you might think. A study published February 28 in the New England Journal of Medicine, for example, examined the age breakdown for 1,099 coronavirus patients. The majority of non-severe cases—60 percent—are teens and adults between 15 to 49 years old, which might suggest this group is spared the worst of the virus. In truth, severe cases were slightly more abundant among this younger demographic. Of the 163 severe cases reported in the study, 41 percent were young adults, 31 percent were aged 50 to 64, and 27 percent were above 65. The only age group spared by severe COVID-19 appeared to be kids under 14.
Quote: Millennials and Gen Z are also just as likely to catch the coronavirus as older groups, according to the largest profile to date on COVID-19, a clinical report of more than 72,000 patients published February 21 by the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention. So rather than rely on age to gauge who is most threatened by COVID-19, doctors say you may want to look at common underlying conditions and how they correspond with the death rates reported by the Chinese CDC. Doing so can offer clues on how to protect you and your loved ones.

Quote:Originally posted by WISHIMAY: I read today that the spikes on the outside of this virus are good at poking in cells and hijacking the mechanism that controls blood pressure.... Since more men ALSO have higher blood pressure, I think it's safe to assume that it's one of the major causative factors in these deaths.
Quote:The Rome-based institute has examined medical records of about 18% of the country’s coronavirus fatalities, finding that just three victims, or 0.8% of the total, had no previous pathology. Almost half of the victims suffered from at least three prior illnesses and about a fourth had either one or two previous conditions. More than 75% had high blood pressure, about 35% had diabetes and a third suffered from heart disease. The average age of those who’ve died from the virus in Italy is 79.5. As of March 17, 17 people under 50 had died from the disease. All of Italy’s victims under 40 have been males with serious existing medical conditions.
