Helen Lewis for The Atlantic:

"The coronavirus crisis will be global and long-lasting, economic as well as medical. However, it also offers an opportunity. This could be the first outbreak where gender and sex differences are recorded, and taken into account by researchers and policy makers. For too long, politicians have assumed that child care and elderly care can be “soaked up” by private citizens—mostly women—effectively providing a huge subsidy to the paid economy. This pandemic should remind us of the true scale of that distortion."

Great. Why has it taken this long? Testicular cancer is a thing and is a thing that only happens to one group/sex of people. Is it transphobic or sexist to state that? Or simply stating a truthful fact?

Hmm. Not sure gender data is useful? Unless high heels and swishy hair are barriers to corona viruses.
