Influence of Biological Sex on COVID-19 - Simplified

Welcome back to EndoPod! This week, we'll be exploring why female patients are doing better with COVID-19 than male patients. Can we use this knowledge to somehow help male patients recover better? This is a simplified version for our listeners without a medical/scientific background. Sit back and enjoy!

Disclaimer:

The use of the words women or females/men or males throughout this podcast is in reference to biological sex (XX and XY chromosomes respectively). Furthermore, this information is not applicable to all females as many other factors determine the course of COVID-19 in patients, such as ethnicity. This is a depiction of the effects of oestrogen alone on the coronavirus.
