[quote=Anonymous]I don't know if this is good news or not but it appears that Chinese men have been more vulnerable than Chinese women. My DH heard on the radio (so no cite on this) that the fatality rates for men not in the elderly age group have been far higher than women. What I do know about China is that they have far more smokers than the US - primarily men. Women are less likely to smoke by a large margin. And, the air pollution in Wuhan might not be matched in any US city. So, I can unscientifically infer that a higher percentage of their lungs (meaning male smokers) may be more stressed that the average non-smoking American lungs. Less stress on the lungs = perhaps a more positive outcome. I'm not saying that all Chinese men smoke. We have an office of China and none of my male colleagues smoke at all and they are quite health conscious. But, there are more smokers there generally.[/quote]
