Covid-19 Prefers Men to Women

When men, at every age, who are infected with the coronavirus are far more likely to die than women, based on the Case Fatality Rate (CFR) of men and women, which is the number of infected cases divided by the number of deaths.

One theory why Covid-19 prefers men to women is the fact that women with two X chromosomes have a more powerful immune system than men, who only have one, and a number of immune genes are only found on the X chromosome.
