Ask the 33 year old if he smokes Ducados. One of those things is like a pack of Marlboro Reds.

As I understand it, Spaniards smoke like chimneys. When St. Josemarie Escriva had his first two priests ordained by Opus Dei, he told them that at least one of them needed to begin smoking to put other priests at ease.

Could it have to do with the fact that men tend to be heavier smokers at some point in their lives than women? When men get the virus, which effects the lungs, men are likely more damaged from smoking than women by-and-large, and more prone to problems like COPD for one.

Yes, it has a lot to do with smoking. Same thing happened in China, where almost 2/3 of men and only 2-3% of women smoke.

This runs counter to an earlier post that said men and women more likely to get it then other genders.

Italy had 3 times the European death rate for respiratory diseases even before this recent virus launched.

Spain would probably be second in line, but I haven’t seen the stats.

Italy has the oldest population in Europe, and Spain has the second oldest. Few children in either country. And no young workers, which is why Italy brought in Chinese workers.

The Spanish and Italians were very heavy smokers...or at least the men were, which would account for the preponderance of male deaths.

But is the virus discriminating against trans men. That can’t be tolerated. We must drag trans men out of her houses and kill her.

I may have messed up the pronouns but the concept remains the same. Trans men should throw themselves off of bridges.
