Is COVID-19 deadlier for men than women?


A recent study out of China found the coronavirus fatality rate for men was 2.8%, compared to 1.7% for women. Another Chinese analysis found men accounted for 60% of COVID‐19 patients. When Italy recently reported the country’s death toll, 72% of those who had died were men, according to the BBC. One study put the number even higher, with men making up 80% of people who had passed away in Italy.

The biggest sporting carnival is now less than a week away and India will look to come up with inspiring performances. India had bagged six medals at the London 2012 Olympics (two Silver and four Bronze) which was one of their best renditions.

Out of these 228 players, 119 will compete in 85 different medal categories.
