I saw a reddit thread suggesting that women have different symptoms than men, though it was super anecdotal and I can’t find it now. I know women have a lower death rate, and I understand that was originally suspected to be because men smoke more but more recently maybe that turns out not to explain the whole difference? This paper suggests that men have more ACE2 than women, which is the enzyme the virus binds to.
Is this a thread that’s been well explored by others?
How much do we know about gender differences?
