I know its serious but cant help but make a feeble joke about maybe wearing masks aren't a priority for men.

Also it again points out that sex is a biological realilty and it is shameful that apparently statistics are not being collected on not just age but sex (and of course race).

What's the betting that the male reproductive organs get immediate funding, research and investment now, and men are believed about their concerns - whilst women are still being left to deal with agonising endometriosis for 10 years before they're treated

I thought there had been a thread about data being collected not including sex (not sure if that was an oversight or not wanting to get into the whole "I indentify as" arguement as people with a medical background know that sex is a biological fact(or).

Cant find thread so for those who didn't see it here is an article www.digitalhealth.net/2020/04/government-criticised-for-not-collecting-sex-disaggregated-covid-19-data/

I genuinely thought this was a headline from The Onion at first. Presumably we'll have a rebuttal about how lady testicles are different because of estrogen supplementation or something similar shortly.
