There's some research showing that estrogen/androgen receptor signalling plays a part in sex-differential disease severity in SARS-CoV-1 and SARS-CoV-2. Incidentally, i love how some suggested pharmacotherapeutic agents include, like, nonsteroidal antiandrogens, GnRHa's, straight-up estradiol, and, of all things, spironolactone.

- connicpu 6y agoHaha yeah Spironolactone is certainly a weird one. I don't quite understand how it suppresses testosterone myself, all I know is it made me and everyone I know who takes it crave all the salt in the world and have to pee 2x as much. (Taking it to suppress testosterone of course, I don't know anyone actually taking it to reduce their covid risk)
