A picture is emerging of 2019-nCoV [now COVID-19] as a novel pathogen that disproportionately affects older men, particularly those with existing illnesses such as heart disease and diabetes.

infrared body thermometer - Females are prone to autoimmune diseases, which causes parts of their immune system to become stronger to compensate, resulting in a possible stronger response to the coronavirus, according to FT. Women routinely outlive men by six to eight years and are more likely to reach their first birthday, according to the World Health Organization [WHO]. Stanley Perlman, an immunologist at the University of Iowa and his colleagues suggested that hormones, including Estrogen, could be a possible defense against the virus.

infrared body thermometer, Perlman studied how SARS -- a disease often compared with coronavirus -- impacts male and female mice. He concluded that male mice were affected in greater number, while adding that his study was consistent across coronaviruses as well, according to FT. CORONAVIRUS PRANK OF MEN IN HAZMAT SUITS CARRYING LIQUID ION NEW YORK CITY SUBWAY CAUSES SPECTACLE Two studies on SARS and MERS [Middle East respiratory syndrome] patients found that males had a higher death rate for both diseases. One study showed that out of 1,800 Sars patients -- men had a 9 percent higher date rate. A 2019 study of 229 Mers patients showed found that males had a six percent higher death rate over females, FT reported.

The observations add to growing evidence that immunologically speaking, men are the weaker sex.

infrared body thermometer - WHO gives coronavirus an official name to help avoid the stigmatization of the disease. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) confirmed another case of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) in the United States on Wednesday, bringing the country's total to 14. The patient was discovered in San Diego, Calif., at the Marine Corps Air Station Miramar. The infected individual had returned to America on a State Department chartered flight on Feb. 7, and is now under federal quarantine, according to a press release.
