Data Shows Coronavirus More Deadly For Men

Data from nearly 20 countries now suggests that men are more likely to die of the coronavirus.
The pattern is particularly pronounced in Italy, according to reports at Business Insider.
Men in Italy represent nearly 70% of the country's deceased patients.
Scientists suspect that smoking and underlying health issues could be influencing this trend.
Few countries have released a full demographic profile of their coronavirus patients.
This makes international stats difficult to track and document.
