Speaking of risk factors—and I’ll be mistaken for some weird variety of incel when I write this—why do we keep not taking sex into account when assessing risk for the purposes of prioritization of vaccines, medication, PPE, etc? We’ve known since the beginning that being male significantly increases the risk of mortality.
This is a good point. I don’t know if it’s changed with the variants, but believe that’s is unlikely as the mechanisms speculated were related to men having more ACE2 receptors.
