Men are not showing a greater infection rate.
Women and men are having equivalent numbers of positive test results. They are even being admitted to hospitals at equivalent rates, for similar symptoms.
Men are DYING at twice the rate of women. There are lots and lots of possible reasons why this is happening, but, again, we won't likely know for sure until we are post-emergency stages, and there is a good deal of data to analyze.
In countries where things are completely out of control, there are no autopsies being done, so no data will be coming with regard to whether men's lung tissue is more susceptible to fatal complications, or how infection/bacterial & fungal co-infection is interacting with co-morbid conditions (heart disease, etc.).
Any source speaking with certainty on this is lying. And either a disinformation bot/troll or a victim of disinformation (circulated by foreign agents or science-illiterates in Washington, D.C.).
Maybe smoking cigarettes has something to do with the death tolls between men and women. It seems to me, at this day in age, there are more male smokers than female smokers. Having lung failure of some sort would greatly increase your mortality probability I would imagine. I’m sure someone is looking into it somewhere. I’m very interested in finding out all the details down the road, probably way down the road
Does anyone know why when I reply to a post my message ends up in the sub post? It only does it sometimes. I’m using my phone. No computer
Interesting. Those numbers are way closer then I would have imagined. Thank you for the research. I’m once again at a lossCurrents smoking percentages between men and women in the U.S. are not statistically different:
Fact Sheets on Smoking and Tobacco Use
Fast facts on smoking and tobacco use, as well as fact sheets by topic, such as Health Effects, Secondhand Smoke, and Youth Tobacco Use.www.cdc.gov
Male usage of e-cigarettes does seem to outpace that of women:
QuickStats: Percentage* of Adults Aged ≥18 Years Who ...
In 2016, 3.8% of men and 2.6% of women aged ≥18 years currently used e-cigarettes.www.cdc.gov
Though smoking does predispose the lungs to complications, a history of smoking does not on its face sufficiently explain why women are twice as able to recover from COVID-(20)19 with medical support than men. A very significant number of people being hospitalized have no pre-disposing condition; young children and infants are being diagnosed and are ill enough to be hospitalized. Events are evolving rapidly in many directions.
In order to get into the finer points of why all the whys, the CDC will have to call in all of the patient files, have the data compiled, and analyzed for trends in any of the population variables. Easier done now with computers, but still quite the job.
This assumes the CDC is at all interested in and willing to do the study. When my mother's doctor diagnosed her with Lyme Disease in the 1980s, he asked her if she wanted him to report her case to the CDC. He preferred not to since the process was arduous and resulted in a giant hassle.

Yeah, Ed. I also heard that more men die from the virus than women.That I have trouble believing since type A blood is almost nonexistent in Asia! As A- Asia is a no visit for me!
This from a Harvard education site:I hear on the tv that people are testing positive for the virus that to their knowledge they have not had contact with anyone carrying it. I have not heard anyone mention the possibility that the virus could be living on the mail people receive from the USPS. Cash transactions are no longer accepted at some businesses because of the possibility of it being contaminated with the virus.
I saw a special the other day about an ICU in Italy. Out of 20 something people in there, only one was female.Men are not showing a greater infection rate.

Men are DYING twice as often from complications.

Best of luck, stay safe out there.New Mexico got the orders about an hour and a half ago to keep their butts at home and for nonessential businesses to close the doors. One of my national guard friends hasn’t been answering phone calls or text and didn’t show up to her 9-5 job.
So here we go.
I am not able to stay at home as my job is viewed essential critical. Cross yr fingers or say some prayers for me plz.

I guess we won't know any real numbers for a while. Just local statistics.Yeah, Ed. I also heard that more men die from the virus than women.
Yeah. Men are in general more unhealthy then women. I am a server. I get to hear and see everything men divulge about their diets (and of course personal experience) This may be a bit much but Erectile Dysfunction is a pre existing health condition that is a precursor to heart disease and stroke. And if anyone in America has watched TV for more than 30 minutes in the past 5-10 yrs you will see the commercials for ED and makes you think that it is very common health condition.Maybe men are more social & active in closer knit groups. Poker games, bocci ball, backgammon games....etc.?
There was a lot of talk here in GA back in January about a "weird Flu"going around. Me and a couple of the guys at work even joked with a couple worker saying maybe it's Coronavirus. In retrospect, I think it's entirely possible it was.There is no doubt that this virus will eventually be in contact with everyone, and it will run its course. Just like the flu, millions have been exposed, while only a small percentage show symptoms, and an even smaller fraction of those exposed have life threatening complications. A friend of ours that was visiting from out of state just got a call from the CDC this morning informing her that she does indeed have the virus. She contracted it on the plane ride home from here and we are outside the "window" of time that would make them concerned about us. Meanwhile she's had tons of friends and family coming and going from her house while she's been sick and showing symptoms. If this thing is airborne for hours and lives on surfaces for days, there is no way for any of us to avoid contact with it.
On a scary note, the CDC lady knew everything about where our friend had been for the last few weeks, and knew many details about her daily life that our friend never told anyone. If there is anyone who doesn't think we are living in Orwell's 1984, let this be your wake up call. WAKE UP! Big Brother is watching.
Hopefully, the rate of infected people needing serious medical help won't overwhelm the system as it has in Italy. Once everyone has been exposed and the rate of new cases starts declining, we can all go back to work and our normal lives. I can't imagine, given how this thing spreads, that anyone I know has not already been exposed to it. I know several people that had the symptoms, recovered, and figured they just had a bad cold or the flu, before this thing was really known. I think that if everyone was tested, we'd be shocked at how many have already had exposure.
