We’ve had racial covid, and perhaps it does disproportionately affect some races, I haven’t really followed that, but now gendered covid has arrived as reported in the Herald this morning.

Women were more likely to suffer from a variety of symptoms, including ear, nose, and throat issues, mood, neurological, skin, gastrointestinal and rheumatological disorders, as well as fatigue.

Male patients, however, were more likely to experience endocrine disorders such as diabetes and kidney disorders.

The study authors, from Johnson and Johnson, said differences in immune system function between females and males could be an important driver in the differing symptoms they found.

Sounds like an add for pharmaceutical products, but who am I to judge?
