Coronavirus Has Killed More <br />Males Than Females Worldwide In Italy, which has registered the <br />most deaths, 70 percent are men. 64 percent of the fatalities in China, <br />where the disease originated, are male. Men also make up 54 percent of <br />the recorded deaths in South Korea. This comes despite South Korea saying that <br />61 percent of their total infections are women. In some cases, scientists say the <br />female immune system is better <br />equipped to handle a viral infection, which is mainly due to <br />the body's respiratory tract. Compared to women, men <br />drink and smoke more <br />in Italy and China. This leads to more respiratory problems, <br />which increase the chances of death <br />from the coronavirus.
