Men more likely to die

In the early weeks and months of the coronavirus pandemic, medics and health professionals working in hospitals around the world noticed that Covid-19 was hitting men harder than women.
Now, a global analysis of over 3 million Covid-19 cases from January to June has found that male patients with the disease have "almost three times the odds" of requiring admission to intensive care than female patients.
What's more, men were almost 1.4 times more likely to die from Covid-19 than women -- although both sexes have an equivalent risk of infection.
The researchers analyzed data from 90 reports involving 46 countries and 44 US states. This data showed that, among the cases in the study, about 1.57 million were women and about 1.53 million were men.
Yet when it came to data on over 12,000 admissions to hospital intensive care units, about 8,000 of those were men and 4,000 were women, the researchers found.
And among the over 200,000 Covid-19 deaths included in the study, about 120,000 were men and 91,000 were women.
Is it too late for me to start transitioning?

And since it’s racist as well as sexist, Karen is the pretty safe from this crap.

I don’t mean to have this sound like I’m making light of this because I’m not, but the sex/race thing would also help explain why Herman Caine has been the only death among the political figures with it...

Yes. But also I doubt the range of outcomes among public figures we’ve been following has been that far off of expectations. What’s the fatality rate for over 70s? <5% off the top of my head. We’ve had Cain die out of (I think) fewer than 20 prominent cases among that age group. (Prominent meaning we bother commenting on them here).
