Coronavirus kills twice more men than women More men are sacrificed by Coronavirus than women. Research shows that men are more likely to be infected with the virus. Also, the mortality rate caused by the virus of men is twice higher than that of women. New York City announced that so far 43 out of 100,000 men passed away while only 23 out of women passed away. So, men risk being severe and hospitalizing. But this was not very surprising for researchers because this tendency was already seen in China and Italy. In both countries, male mortality was higher than female. Some say the gender differences in behavior cause these results. For example, in most of countries more men tend to smoke compared to women. According to a website of Centers for Disease Control, until the 6th the number of coronavirus cases was 68,776. The older they were, the higher their mortality rate and the hospitalizing rate were. The highest points were for 65 years old and 75 years old. The number of infected women was 712 out of 100,000 and men was 932. Also, men are more likely to hospitalize. 140.3 out of 100,000 women and 228.7 out of 100,000 men were admitted to hospitals. The most remarkable gender difference is the mortality rate. A doctor in NY says “more than two-third patient needs ventilators are men. I have never seen diseases which shows such big gender differences.” An organization announced that they assumed that 65% of the cases are men although they don’t know the number clearly. When they were asked about the gap between gender, they answered “we don’t know the reasons. Nobody knows so far.”
