Heavy WP:UNDUE against men

The article should cover men in 80%: why they die, where they die, how ill they become, sex (not "gender") differences in these outcomes, what impact it has on the society including the close ones, etc. Now it covers women in 80%. It is wrong.

The reason is simple. Death is more important than living as caretakers etc.

This sample sentence is nonsensical in the COVID-19 context:

"Women as caretakers ... Evidence from past disease outbreaks show that women are more likely to be caregivers for the sick individuals in the family, making them more vulnerable to infection"

Well, but then they are less vulnerable to death itself, as they survive more here, so they are in luck. Basic statistics and common sense.

Let us restore balance.

This article is hilarious. Men most deaths, but women (of course) most affected. 2.25.230.32 (talk) 12:10, 27 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
