Many more Chinee men died than women.

The figures I’ve seen are about 1.7:1. So quite substantial.

WATCH: "The best estimates now of the overall mortality rate for COVID-19 is somewhere between 0.1% and 1%," Adm. Brett Giroir, assistant secretary for health at HHS, says. "That's lower than you heard probably in many reports ... it's not likely in the range of 2 to 3%" pic.twitter.com/bAvS7LNWI8— NBC News (@NBCNews) March 6, 2020

Likely older.....and maybe/likely smokers...

Risk factors go up...for those two things...

People that get bad pulmonary DZ...can be genetically likely to have bad lungs...and can't fight off PNA, ARDS, etc..etc...

I've seen COPD'ers in their 50's that are actually pulmonary cripples...Didn't have that many "pack years"...but their lungs were shot. That's bad genetics.

I've seen 80 yr old folks that smoked for 60 years...and yea they ain't in great shape...but they are still living.

It's a combo deal...and many factors involved.
