We are developing the social individualist meta-context for the future. From the very serious to the extremely frivolous... lets see what is on the mind of the Samizdata people.
Samizdata, derived from Samizdat /n. - a system of clandestine publication of banned literature in the USSR [Russ.,= self-publishing house]

Samizdata quote of the day FYI, the death rate of COVID-19 among men is about 60% higher than among women. As there are no biological differences between men and women, I conclude this is entirely due to our inability in our society to teach men not to rape.
– Samizdata Illuminatus

Who Are We? The Samizdata people are a bunch of sinister and heavily armed globalist illuminati who seek to infect the entire world with the values of personal liberty and several property. Amongst our many crimes is a sense of humour and the intermittent use of British spelling.
We are also a varied group made up of social individualists, classical liberals, whigs, libertarians, extropians, futurists, ‘Porcupines’, Karl Popper fetishists, recovering neo-conservatives, crazed Ayn Rand worshipers, over-caffeinated Virginia Postrel devotees, witty Frédéric Bastiat wannabes, cypherpunks, minarchists, kritarchists and wild-eyed anarcho-capitalists from Britain, North America, Australia and Europe.

Yup, that must be it 😆
You have forgotten the Half-Silvered Mirror Rule of Gender Equality: “There are no differences between men and women …except when women are better.”
Women clearly have stronger resistance to disease than fragile men. No word yet on whether men can prevent infection by identifying as women …
Genetically, militarily, historically and in many other “-ily and -ally” ways, individually and generally, men are biologically expendible. Women are not.
Change my mind…
“As there are no biological differences between men and women, I conclude this is entirely due to our inability in our society to teach men not to rape.”
… or to wash their hands.
(Statisticians involved in the biological sciences tell me that unless the trial is a large, well-controlled double-blind, that risk ratios less than 2 should be treated as noise, and insignificant. Spurious correlations abound. But our society is also unable to teach men statistics, either…)
Probably matches the smoking statistics.
Perhaps more men than women are dying because they want to?

Let us not forget…
Males…deeper breathing/ higher pulse/BP due to higher exertion, in toxic environments.
Smoking of course. Drinking of course.
A lifetime of Physical, rather than psycho, stress compromised plumbing?
What are the mortality numbers with male/female brick makers,agricultural field folk, tanners, transportation maintenance, insulation installers, foundry workers, and fire fighters…in India? In China? In Italy? In California? In Sheffield?
OTOH, repeated exposure to osmosis of makeup/ huffing of beauty-laundry products/ “domestic” food modifiers, young mobile petri dishes.
Compromised stagnant plumbing, vs. young, resilient, still growing-fighting-recoverable, organs.
