“Well, women are more willing to go to the doctor than men,” he added.

This means that if a man is exposed to Covid-19, most men wait until the symptoms are very severe before going to the doctor. This allows them to require more serious treatment, even though it can be treated early if mild symptoms are felt.

Another factor that contributes to the higher mortality of men is also the effect of vaccination which is not as much as for women. According to CDC data, 62.9 percent of American women are vaccinated the full dose, while 58.7 percent of men.
