The COVID-19 virus could be more prevalent in bald men, new research has shown. 9News

"With blood groups it looks like blood group O is more protective against COVID and A is more severe," Prof Senanayake said.Experts recommend 'COVID toes' be added to virus testing criteria

Researchers are also beginning to identify new and peculiar symptoms of the virus including blistered feet and a loss of taste. "The loss of smell can occur with quite a few viral infections that affect the upper respiratory tract and coronavirus as a group can be responsible," Prof Senanayake said."It can also cause a lot of inflammation in the nose and that can effect smell."

One patient being treated for COVID-19 in Wuhan reported a change in his skin colour, however Prof Senanayake said this was more likely to do with the antibiotics opposed to the virus itself. "Antibiotics, although they are wonderful at treating infections they all have side fix and everyone knows about getting diarrhoea and an itchy rash and it can ever weird things like change of skin colour," he said.

China are working on a new virus that infects only the MSM in Australia that spreads fake news.. If only....

That’s how it was engineered in the lab in China.. To kill men, the elderly and the frail

No disinformation here. Honest!

Quarantine all the slap heads

The Bullshit continues.....

A virus that kills men with high levels of testosterone. That originated in a nation with a, shall we say, excess male population. And it's a natural virus ... 🤔

riseupmelbourne we are the corona kings bro

Ha get fucked, im full corona king then, come at me bro

Fake news

BaldHQ

Sounds like bat women had something against bald men with blood group A

LugubriousLarry If it is also more prevalent in people who look like potatoes, someone's in for a surprise.

I doubt it has zero to do with hair and more about toxic masculinity

We really are scraping the bottom of the barrel when it comes to the virus.

Probably because most who get it are quite elderly

Whatabout balding men in denial? Does it have the same affect? combover

Well that’s me done!!!

Its more prevalent in stupid people

Well I’m shit out of luck then

Now it’s biased and discriminatory?! Spare us all!

Anyone got a can of spray-on hair?

'Time for reform': The university lecture may not survive COVID-19The COVID-19 pandemic may be a killer blow for the live university lecture. Some would mourn its loss, but others say it was overdue for reform. I agree a new way will come forward. First year lectures with hundreds of students are not interactive and these can use a complete redo. Perhaps university campuses can reach out to more remote areas to have smaller first year classes - lots of buildings available for that.

COVID-19 gap widens between Australia and the rest of the worldThe news coming out of Europe and the United States is shocking. The graphs are startling. Don't count on travel beyond the Asia-Pacific region any time soon. Caution needed with Japan's figures. Testing rate is low, govt encouraging nationwide movement, protecting reputation ahead of Olympics. Numbers rising again as weather cools & behaviour changes. Interesting so many developing Asian countries have fared better than advanced European economies. Will be interesting for epidemiologists to analyse the cultural and policy reasons why. The result in the US is perhaps less of a mystery... Thank fuck for that!
