genetic gender differences

Many more men die during a pandemic because women are genetically superior. For example in Italy, about 71% of the dead are men. Females possess two X chromosomes while males have one. The second X chromosome gives women a stronger immune system, which provides females a big competitive advantage for survival.

Care to share sources or why you believe this?
Or is this just opinion stated as fact?

Scientists and medical researchers have long known men are generally more susceptible to viruses than women. There's a large amount of information and statistical data you can find on the web. Men are genetically disadvantaged in large part because they lack a second X chromosome. Learning and understanding why this occurs is fascinating - many of the mechanisms of what role the second X plays in survival are well known to scientists and immunologists. It could contribute to the fact women live longer than men.

Or search, "Females possess two X chromosomes while males have one. The second X chromosome gives women a stronger immune system".

If you are skeptical about this, it would be better if you spent 2 minutes doing a search. There is an overwhelming amount of info about this. We need to do better at educating our children, because stuff like this should be covered in high school Biology class. I've only seem 1 news report that covered this issue.
Men more than twice as likely to die
Global Health 5050, an organization that promotes gender equality in healthcare, has rounded up the total and partial data that is available from the countries with the highest numbers of confirmed COVID-19 cases.
According to their data gathering, the highest ratio of male to female deaths, as a result of COVID-19, is in Denmark and Greece: 2.1 to 1.
In these countries, men are more than twice as likely to die from COVID-19 as women. In Denmark, 5.7% of the total number of cases confirmed among men have resulted in death, whereas 2.7% of women with confirmed COVID-19 have died

Are you saying that it’s an X - linked recessive disorder? That’s confusing, I’m confused. Or that because of our single X chromosome that men are more at risk. If so, k. And.

A simplistic explanation I like is the second X chromosome provides a second set of genes which allows for a more diverse and robust immune response. One scientist described it as women have two sets of immunological defenses while men have one.

So men's Y chromosome doesn't bring any genes? or not helpful ones?
It seems like having more variance is usually a good thing when it comes to immunity which a Y would bring to the table
I know this doesn't mean much, but of the people I know, the women seem much less healthy in pretty much all ways than the men I know

It's well known the X chromosome coordinates immunological response.
Are you debating that? It's considered a fact by medical researchers and immunologists.

Of course the Y chromosome plays important roles. But these roles are different than the X chromosome.

I'm not debating anything. I admittedly don't really know anything about this and am just asking some questions

Wonder if that could also explain why women are much more likely to develop autoimmune disease.

Does any of this explain why women like to call a dude every few months after a breakup just to make sure he's still fucked up over her?

Genetically predisposed to fuck men over.
I'm sure if you search the interwebs hard enough you'll find the theory somewhere.

Cookiecrumbs calls me every three months and tries to sell me propecia from a Canadian pharmacy. I know it's her, because I always tell her to fuck off, and look at her title under the name.
Coincidence? I think not.

Seriously though, I think it's thought to be related to estrogen in addition to the chromosome thingy.

Estrogen can cause it's own issues, though, so I wouldn't call it genetic superiority. I'd call it luck .
And if that theory does hold water than unfortunately women who have gone through menopause are just as at risk as men.
