COVID-19重症 z-bo 2020-10-30 366

　　According to daily observations, men are usually more prone to "grumbling" than women when they get sick. Female comrades generally think that they are making a fuss, but is this really the case?

　　In fact, previously published large-scale epidemiological studies and animal-related influenza studies have shown that men have longer illnesses, more severe symptoms, and weaker protective effects of vaccines than women. So does this difference exist in the flu, especially the COVID19 epidemic?

　　According to previous studies, there does not seem to be a significant difference between men and women in the risk of SARS-coV-2 infection, but men have a significantly higher risk of severe illness and death. A study showed that men are 2.4 times more likely to die from COVID-19 than women. Interestingly, in other coronavirus diseases, such as SARS and MERS, the mortality rate of men is also higher than that of women. According to the latest data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, men aged 30-49 are twice as likely to die from COVID-19 than women. In other age groups, the risk of death associated with COVID-19 among men is also higher than among women in the same age group.

　　Since men and women of the same age are almost in sharp contrast in the risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection, scientists have begun to wonder why men are more susceptible to infection.
