I have read many articles (including the NYTimes link I supplied in this OP) that offer some reasons. Like I wrote, this virus is not an anomaly for men being the weaker sex when it comes to survival. We have nowhere to hide.

You know what made me laugh? Bree's thread. Yes, the now locked thread where 35 people liked/loved/thanked the first reply taking Bree to task for posting humor at such a time. She was forced, through bullying, to post an apology. That was two weeks ago. Exponentially more have become ill and have even succumb to this nightmare virus while everyone here is having a ball (including myself). I viewed each like/love/thanks and what I noticed is that almost all 35 who bullied Bree are posting to this thread, including the OP. I am LAUGHING at your hypocrisy. And I always do. (maybe I can get 35 likes/love/thanks for this post, but quite frankly, it would appall me coming from some). Did I make you laugh?

It’s still early, but in almost every country that we have numbers, more men than women are dying from the virus. What is being overlooked in some of the explanations given is when it comes to coronavirus taking a disproportionate toll on men is that this is not an anomaly. “This innate biological advantage is apparent at every age and stage of human life: Baby girls are consistently more likely to make it to their first birthday; 80 percent of all centenarians today are women; an incredible 95 percent of those who reach the formidable age of 110 years old are women. While on average genetic males have more muscle mass and greater height, overall size, and physical strength, when it comes to surviving the physical hardships encountered from birth to late-in-life, genetic females almost always outlast genetic males.” I am not a doctor or any other type of health care professional, I am just a man. It seems like I can run but I cannot hide.

One of my favorites goes along this line. A TCP packet walk into a bar and asks the bartender for a drink. The bartender says: you want a drink? The TCP packet says: Yes, I want a drink. A UDP packet walks into a bar and ask the bartender for a drink. The bartender says: you want a drink?

I am having Chinese tonight.

Another thread on how you feeling today. There doesn't seem to be a difference. Laughs all the way to the 'Land for Sale' thread.

Scared? No. I'd bet women are looking over at their boyfriends/husbands wondering if the dude can hunt, make a fire, fight, forage; and second guessing those skinny jeans he has on. But nothing to be scared of :)

I will respect your request. My humble apologies to all who were offended.

Reality.

I'm not. I don't. Not on the internet. Those words are for the chosen one or perhaps two in my rl. But, carry on. - smiles

OMG! PS Seriously?! And you met on the Internet?!

I am glad you are well and hopeful. I posted this last week. Perhaps you saw and didn't like, but I just wanted you to know. I would suggest Lucy as a name.

This is beautiful, thank you for sharing. My wife and I are doing the same. Although I am high risk and if I get this virus I probably will not survive, but while alive I will live. Enjoy and be happy and safe. Controlling your own destiny goes a long way in being happy.

Hyperbole! It just may be that the imbecile (sic) in the White House will save your life. Imo, this is a political rant that has nothing to do with the corona virus. Just HYPERBOLE. You are entitled to your opinion as I am entitled to mine.. .

Your post is an absolute fact; you were being kind in choosing your words: 'I suppose'. Thank you for 'correcting' the narrative. PS Question the OP author, always. As this OP author has a propensity to always skew the narrative.

Let me see. . . Lyme Disease (Lyme , Connecticut) Ebola (A river in Congo) German Measles (Europe?) Rocky Mountain Fever (Rocky Mountains USA) Marburg Virus (Africa, Germany) MER(s) (Middle East) . . . Why do you rename only the Chinese diseases/viruses? Xenophobic?

Dude, while alive, LIVE! Peace to you.

Yes, but for clarity purposes: ICY COLD. Not snowflake cold.

Sometimes the best humor is not intentional. I laughed.

Ya see, you just wrote a joke. Go figure.

What are you going to die from? Do you know? I am asking because I will, in your presence, only address the drama aspects of death, then. We are all going to die sooner or later. I am high risk with this Chinese virus. My will is complete whether I die from 'this' virus or from the absolute boredom on this forum. PS It is humor NOT jokes. Three coronavirus patients walk into a bar. . .

I have enough bourbon, food, and weed to make it til the next pandemic. Just sayin. I had a few aunties myself.

You snipe a lot, don't you? Rhetorical.

Brie, you made me laugh. Thank you. Humor is the most wonderful way to cope with things we just don't understand. I love it!

With my eyes I tell the world all my secret thoughts, but no one ever reads them true so in them they are caught. I capture people with my eyes and trap them in a pool. In the end I set them free - myself once more the fool.
