Men Are More Than Twice As Likely to Die of COVID-19- WHY?
As Sars-CoV-2 continues making its rounds throughout the world, infecting and killing countless people worldwide (2.3 million infected and nearly 161 thousand dead as of April 19, 2020), medical researchers don’t sit idly by and continue tirelessly collecting data, searching for patterns and developing treatments and vaccines to battle the dangerous virus. Don’t be mistaken, even statistical work is crucial, as it can tell us who is at a greater risk of contracting and developing a serious, potentially even life-threatening form of the disease, even beyond age and preexisting conditions.
Many European countries, as well as the US and China, for example, have noted significant differences in the sex of the patients in the COVID-19 pool, and it turns out that males may be at a greater risk of dying from a COVID-19 infection, despite women catching the disease more often than men. In this article, we will examine these sex differences in greater detail and explain why men may be at a greater danger of being tragically affected by the Novel Coronavirus.
We all know by now that individuals with serious pre-existing conditions, as well as the elderly, are more likely to require breathing aid and develop a serious form of COVID-19 than other populations. However, a more recent examination also shows a disparity of infections and fatalities between men and women.
Data reports from the World Health Organization (WHO), for example, show that 68% of COVID-19 fatalities in Europe were men. Data from another source, Global Health 5050, rounded up statistical information from countries affected by the virus, and found that the ratio of male to female mortality in Ireland is 2 to 1, in Switzerland - 1.9 to 1, in China - 1.7 to 1, and as much as 2.1 to 1 in Denmark and Greece. American sources follow a similar pattern, with New York City releasing the information that males are twice as likely to die of a Coronavirus infection compared to females.Why Men
