@JaniceFiamengo Notice that they give the number of female cases. No mention of male you have to do that calculation in your head. They feel the need to mention the number of female cases which are ever so slightly greater than male (52% v. 48%).

@JaniceFiamengo But when it comes to deaths it is all just lumped together. And they do that even though males death very much outweigh female deaths. In fact nowhere in the reports does it give a straight male v. female comparison on deaths...
@JaniceFiamengo And this is so even though in some age groups men have *more* than 3x the mortality rate of women in that age group.
....

@JaniceFiamengo How deeply embedded does the misandry have to be that a govt report makes sure to show females are ever so slightly slightly more than 50% of patients but then obscure that it is mostly men doing the dying?

@JaniceFiamengo And nobody in government including @DrBonnieHenry or @adriandix seems to see a problem with this.
