Many days ago a friend of mine suggested that the China and Italy population numbers might be explained by both countries having a greater % of smokers. The virus attacks the lungs so, check.
He did not have a guess about why the higher numbers of men who become infected and die from the virus:

The new coronavirus has infected more men than women.
A recent study of more than 44,000 coronavirus cases found that men were also more likely to die of the virus.
Some researchers suspect that biological factors might make men more likely to contract the virus, but others have suggested that women are just as susceptible.
Smoking, a practice more common among men than woman in China, could be a risk factor as well. But more data is needed to confirm the theory.

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.

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.
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.

Analysis: Seven days as a ‘wartime president’: Trump’s up-and-down command of a pandemic
Trump faltered. He argued based on “just a feeling” that, despite no scientific evidence yet, an anti-malaria drug could cure the coronavirus. He complained that he has not been credited for fixing a nationwide testing system that clearly is still broken. And when asked what message he had for Americans who were scared, he lashed out.
“I say that you’re a terrible reporter,” Trump answered to NBC News correspondent Peter Alexander. “That’s what I say.”

Nah, seriously though. Good info. That's what a recent study in Italy has said as well.

He admitted himself to the hospital in a panic after drinking a Corona beer. They've since discovered that he was mentally incapable of driving himself home and kept him for further study. His wife is now feeding him his hospital food and he thinks that it's his mommy and that his hospital bed is a high chair.
This one goes out to you, Joey B.

I wonder if having observational skills or brain matter has something to do with me NOT having a problem with some men...
Just maybe...

Quote:That's a misleading statement out of an admittedly poorly written article. Except for the very first study, the article looks at studies of HOSPITAL populations, which means it's already selected for the the more seriously ill. The FIRST study looked at INFECTION rates, which barely skewed to males, by 51%. OTOH in SK infections tend to skew heavily to adult (but not elderly) females. To me that indicates differences in socializing with many different people.
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-wo

And then the article mixes INFECTED with AFFECTED together.
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:The same article indicates why men die at much higher rates in China, where the greatest number of statistics are. The reason is smoking. And that factor was identified early on.

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.

I can't find the extremely gross one that you posted a few years back while you were either on or off your meds again, but you just make so many of them that pretty much any topic you start will suffice.
This one is as good as any.

Pleeeease. If you even skimmed the reports of the shooters, armor, ak-47s- you know these are guys. And women are just as ABLE, but DON'T. Says a lot.
STOP GIVING TESTOSTERONE A PASS. And I literally mean that.

Testosterone and how it interacts with the brain when angry IS THE PROBLEM. You want to explain why men are in prisons at 10 times the rate of women?
An actual cause, not "judges let women slide more" bullshit...
I've seen it a million times, when some men get "set off" the testosterone pumps up and the only thing that turns it back off is fear.
I'm standing on that one. You can't prove it wrong.
The truth sure makes you indignant though.
