Re: eye makeup

According to this article http://www.cnn.com/2012/11/14/opinio...e-child-brooks, it gives the 2011 ratio of men to women in China as being 51.9% male to 48.1 female (citing the United Nations Development Program as the source for those figures.)

So that doesn't help answer the question of why the high ratio of men to women who were infected. Here are the stats for the biggest groups, taken from the FT list of patients. Have we ever looked at these ratios for other types of flu?

Shanghai: 21 men, 7 women, 2 children, 2 unknown
Jiangsu: 20 men, 8 women
Zhejiang: 30 men, 17 women

I still have seen no explanation for the unusual age and gender
specifics of H7N9
