I know that it has been found that men suffer from colds (man-flu) in a more severe way than women because of testosterone.

I think this is poor journalism though - or at least, poor headline writing. If you take just the headline, we do know that men are more likely to die than women. We also know older people are more likely to die than younger people. We also know that older men are more likely to be bald than younger men, and that men are more likely to be bald than women.

The interesting thing is that they found a similar pattern in women who were experiencing hair loss.

The other interesting thing was that men on androgen deprivation therapy were only 25% as likely to contract covid-19 as men who were not receiving the same treatment.

The caveat here is that this study is in its infancy, and clinical trials are only just starting.

It sounds like they are scraping the bottom of the Covid-19 barrel, now that we have moved onto large public demonstrations sans social distancing.

Like clockwork, if there's a terrible take to be had on a story, wales bales is first with that take.

Who is this "they"?

It seems that women have a lot of genetic advantages over men.

Could us baldies "stay alert" by buying wigs and fooling the virus I ask?

Weird that if you google it the only links are to the Telegraph, the Mail and the Express.

Talking of wigs, I was on a plane flying to Tel Aviv a few years ago and the vast majority of the passengers on the plane seemed to be Hasidic Jews (as opposed to Alkaline ones perhaps) - and after take-off most of the women took off what were wigs and bared their real hair that they are obliged to hide most of the time. Just before landing they all put their wigs back on.

Talking of whigs.......blah, blah, blah.

Well, that's old-style Labour for you, mush

The biggest users of clickbait “fear” headlines.

Same one who are the first to talk about terrible winters and boiling summers.

I think the article is suggesting higher levels of hormones is the problem.

True, they don't seem to get prostate cancer, for instance.
