Article here. Excerpt:
'With more than 200,000 coronavirus cases worldwide and thousands of deaths, a striking pattern is appearing in the hardest-hit countries: More men are dying than women.
No where is this trend more pronounced than in Italy. Men make up nearly 60% of people with confirmed cases of the virus and more than 70% of those who have died from covid-19, according to the country's main public health research agency.
On the other end of the spectrum is South Korea, where about 61% of confirmed infections have been in women. Though far fewer patients have died, the majority of fatalities - 54% -- were again in men.'

Personally...
... I suspected this virus was engineered as a bio-weapon. Scientists say it isn't, that it evolved naturally. Still, if I were going to create an engineered virus for war-making, since men are the principal war-fighters, I'd design it with a taste for men as victims. Just sayin'.
