Coronavirus: Male patients with low testosterone levels more likely to die, study suggests.
Liberty Quote
What the doctrine of balancing budgets over a period of many years really means is this: As long as our own party is in office, we will enhance our popularity by reckless spending.

Your Headline:
“Coronavirus: Male patients with low testosterone levels more likely to die, study suggests”
Contrasted with a headline over at “Twitchy” web sit:
“ Dept. of Veterans Affairs launches clinical trial of drug that fights coronavirus by ‘temporarily lowering male hormone levels’”
( https://twitchy.com/gregp-3534/2020/05/15/dept-of-veterans-affairs-launches-clinical-trial-of-drug-that-fights-coronavirus-by-temporarily-lowering-male-hormone-levels/ )
An obvious conflict. Or is the US Department of Veterans intent on killing off some of those pesky veterans who keep insisting on having their service to the nation recognized and demanding medical support for all kinds of expensive procedures.
I am seldom surprised by the idiocy of government bureaucracy – though I still manage to regularly be shocked by it.
COVID-19: Tranny Killer!!!
Hmmm…how’s the health of Julia Gillard’s ‘tranny’ former Head of the Diversity Army these days?
Even the best Leftard high heels, fishnet stockings and lippy don’t do much to warm the testosterone, or the orchestra stalls!
On a slightly different note, what’s happened to the covid app? There hasn’t been any talk about this app for what seems like weeks now.
Lol. Now let’s weave bemused’s question into the evidence.
iPhones represent over 50% of the oz market. But there is a problem with the app and IOS.
Therefore manbuns are definitely more likely to die from Covid19.
The little virus that could.
Almost like the Global Warming hoax.
Those on the left are “Trust the Government and Experts” collectivists.
Those on the right are sceptical of most things unless and until compelling evidence is produced and they are also individualists.
N.B. Not all not all not all. There are always exceptions.
No wonder the left are so scared of this virus.
So the independents are actually more just fence sitter, middle of the road non-committals rather than actual independent thinking people.
I think it’s pretty sad that more than half of so-called ‘right-wingers’ continue to support lockdowns.
If anything were to decisively show that the West as we knew it is over, this would have to be it.
n=45 is hardly conclusive, especially with the median age well over 60. Big whoops, COVID hits older people harder, tell us something we don’t know.
@ monty
Well, excess fat tends to lower testosterone, as well as being associated with diabetes/metabolic syndrome … which has already been identified as a pre-disposing factor for seriousness. Multicolinearity, anyone?
If it impacts males with low testosterone, does that impact transgender “females”.?
Just shows that the Republicans want to go back to work, and the Democrats want to continue bludging.
Bludging on anyone, doesn’t matter who, as long as some one else is paying.
Wozzup: We just roll our eyes. Experts versus experts. Sameo sameo.
Yes, what did happen to the app?
It must have been a bluff. Once it became obvious that they wouldn’t get the 7 mil idiots to download the stupid thing, it was obvious that they had to ‘open’ the economy anyway.
Still, they have a good measure of the number of gullible twits in the country.
The government can get a lot more taxpayer money to spend on carpetbagger “energy” by using the Cuomo Method ,ship all the aged and invalid pensioners to nursing homes . The Socialist Hitler set the pattern with his Ehuthanasia Gas chambers for the mentally and phu]ysically challenged ,practicing for the big event , the Jolocaust . Todays left are a bit more sophisticated , but Andrews has a Euthanasia law in Victoria ,whats their next move?
Mont, don’t ever come out of the basement. This isn’t good new for you.
A bit off topic, but the news that the US will restore funding to the WHO, but only at the same level as China, is just wonderful – decisions like that have something to do with where testosterone comes from.
Google and Apple announced last month that stage one of their solution to allow contact tracing by apps like COVIDSafe would be operating this month. Stage one involved the release by Apple and Google of application programing interfaces (APIs) to allow tracing apps to work between Android and iOS devices.
Coming soon is stage two, integrating basic contact tracing for positive CV19 diagnosis matching at the operating system level without the app.
