Another example of why women should think three or four times about what getting married and having kids really looks like. Don’t do it.

One possible reason why men are dying of covid19 at a higher rate is that they are getting it at a higher rate because they are more exposed. Anecdotally, as I hide inside my house in Portland Oregon and have things brought to me because I don't want to expose myself more than I have to, I have noticed that the vast majority of grocery and package delivery personnel are men. A super small sample, but if men are doing more of the types of jobs right now that result in higher levels of exposure then it's a possible contributor. My personal example is, being the male partner in a marriage with one daughter living at home, I'm more inclined to go out to do the things that we need done that can't be postponed or ordered on-line and therefore exposing myself more. Statistically irrelevant but maybe points to a contributing factor.
