I found this interesting in light of recent Pfizer/ alopecia news:

To better understand why anti-androgen therapy is an important new therapeutic target in fighting Covid 19, a few points must first be emphasized:

1. There are clear gender disparities in terms of COVID-19 severity:

*males with androgenic alopecia (hair loss, baldness) are at higher risk
*users of anabolic androgenic steroids for recreational purposes are at higher risk
*women with hyperandrogenic phenotypes (polycystic ovarian syndrome, hirsutism…) present with greater symptoms of COVID-19
*children (pre-puberty) are notably protected against more severe COVID-19

I have not read about anti-androgen treatment. The side effects look nasty. suppression of macrophages migration and subsequent PCa cell invasion IE: new forms of prostate cancer
