Thanks
@zeynep . Amongst all the tragic disparities for minority populations and especially Latino individuals here in california that are beyond heartbreaking, I do think it is interesting the increased mortality of COVID-19 in men seems to be less widely discussed? -
I think it’s been pretty widely covered! One of my sources said her phone was ringing off the hook to talk with the media about it when news of the disparity broke.

Women also have higher rates of autoimmunity and post-viral syndromes such as long COVID. Seems like there must be a connection...

Yup. Stronger immune responses all around.
