    COVID-19 is a gendered crisis. Nurses, nurse aides, teachers, child carers and early-childhood educators, aged-care workers and cleaners are mostly women. They are on the frontline of this public health crisis and carry a disproportionate risk of being exposed to the virus.pic.twitter.com/uY56bDmlJ7

        Let's also not forget that not all homes are safe places. Quarantine or self-isolation at home will put many women and children at risk.

        Women’s advocates and domestic violence experts have been warning us that domestic abuse increases during times of crises. I’m terribly worried that these warnings have not been heeded by this Government that has long resisted adequate funding for the needed resources and refuges

        As a white male hospital aide, I find that tweet sexist. There's nothing gendered at all about Covid 19 at all. You're obviously suffering from it with hallucinations and tweeting drivel like this. Men also work in the Nursing field as well in Allied health and as Doctors.

        It's gendered in the way that a majority of victims are men. I think reasons for that have not been analysed yet.

        Wow. In this age of equality I’m still surrounded by sexism. Really?
