  Media - "Coronavirus pandemic exacerbates inequalities for women, UN warns"

  Even though it's literally killing one and a half as many men. The reason for the lockdown. The killing bit.

  As usual it will obviously also hurt women due to our refusal to understand the disease biologically which still effects the 40% of deaths which are women.

  Somebody could do some useful statistical analysis on nursing home corona deaths by gender.

  Or, you know, continue debating R0 and Rt with incomplete corona testing.

  Most people have more confidence in reports deaths than porous testing stats.
