So men have perhaps twice the rate of infection and death than women. One thing I can't understand is why there has been no government advice about this. I would have thought it would be sensible advice that if a man and a women are in isolation together, the woman should go shopping rather than the man, especially as usually the man is older in a marriage. I would have thought that this simple change could save many many lives, so I wonder why no government has suggested it?

- anon_coward_1 7y agoUnfortunately my elderly parents (UK) are in a position where they can't get shopping delivered, there are no delivery slots at any of the supermarkets. I'm looking at sending food over in a taxi but it's really expensive! While it's likely he will catch it from her, it's by no means a guarantee.
