This episode of the Learning Laboratory video series, the second in a series of three by Professor Maria Medved, continues to examine the relationship between Covid-19 and gender. In this video, Professor Medved explains that while men are more likely to die of Covid-19, research shows that women carry a higher disease burden than men. She continues by explaining what the term disease burden means, and why women are more impacted by Covid-19 in this way.
