Then there is the term man flu. It seems that men actually do suffer more from the flu, and the even die more than women do from the flu. Men require zinc to create testosterone and for their gonads in a way that women do not. They speak of the protective effect of estrogen, but I'm afraid it is as equally described as the high zinc requirement for men whose bodies are used to getting an excess of zinc by eating red meat. Coronavirus is not attacking men in India as badly as elsewhere in the world. Statistics on other countries where red meat is not where is rarely eaten might be interesting to contrast, although such places as the Ukraine where Draconian measures such as ditches have been dug two separate people might factoring as well as spin doctoring the news, and places where deaths not from coronavirus but from other conditions that did not get treated because people were afraid to go to the hospital for Coronavirus must also be factored in. There are unfortunately always other factors in the real world, unlike with carefully inbred mice.
