DownWithTyranny at DownWithTyranny! - 1 minute ago
I knew something was seriously wrong with me. I had all kinds of horrifying symptoms. But my doctor couldn't figure it out. So he sent me to see "the top" epidemiologist in L.A. I saw several epidemiologists over the course of over 2 years until someone stumbled upon a relative rare kind of cancer: mantle cell lymphoma. Over two years. I'm not a big fan of epidemiologists. A team of *NY Times* reporters interviewed 511 of them from around the country and published the results Monday: When 511 Epidemiologists Expect to Fly, Hug and Do 18 Other Everyday Activities Again.

Why Do Men Suffer from Coronavirus at a Higher Rate than Women?

Adam Moeser at The National Interest - 24 minutes ago
*Adam Moeser* *Health, * Reports show that the mortality rate among men with COVID-19 is higher than women.
