People need to stop talking with *confidence* they'll be fine because they're young and not inmunocompromised They're trying to keep people from panicking but that's not an actual guarantee you'll be okay, you understand
Yeah the 2% mortality rate is an average, among men it's 2.8% and for women it's 1.7%

Although there should be a huge asterisk next to that because the data isn't conclusive. One hypothesis is that Men are tested more frequently than women in China. Another is that men smoke a lot in China (±47%), compared to a measly ±2% of women in China.

Very good point. I just hadn’t heard (presumably cis) men were at higher risk at all. There’s also immune differences related to hormones that are credited with other fatality variances (like influenza iirc), so that could be the reason more so than a specific mutation.
