Men Are More Likely To Die From COVID-19

Description

Men infected with COVID-19 are nearly three times as likely to require intensive care unit treatment. They also have a far higher risk for death from the virus than women, says UPI. The findings of this study are leading researchers to ask why these differences exist. Scientists will most likely use this knowledge to inform their fight against COVID-19. Researchers estimate that men account for more than half of those infected with the new coronavirus. However, this could be because men are more likely to develop symptoms.

After 'No Time To Die' Is Delayed, Regal Cinemas Announces It May Shut Down

Regal Cinemas owner Cineworld says it is considering temporarily closing its theaters. CNN reports the news comes just a day after the latest James Bond film, "No Time to Die," was delayed until the spring of 2021. More than a dozen major films have either been delayed or skipped theaters altogether and gone digital, as in the case of Disney's 'Mulan.' Last month, Cineworld reported a loss of $1.6 billion in the first half of 2020 as revenue plunged by 67%. A spokesperson said Cineworld would update staff and customers on its decision 'as soon as we can.' It also warned of the need to raise more funds in case a second wave of coronavirus leads to more 'prolonged' shutdowns.
