1) How much sex-disaggregated data is available on #COVID19? Here is a geographical view of countries with complete, partial or no sex-disaggregated data. @GlobalHlth5050 (1/6)

2) While some large countries (USA, Brazil, Russia, India), do not have sex-disaggregated data, almost half of the countries stratify cases and death rates by sex. @GlobalHlth5050 (2/6)

3) A number of countries with high death toll (Italy, Spain, China) do report by sex, we still do not hold sex-disaggregated data on almost half of all #COVID19 deaths and this number is increasing. @GlobalHlth5050 (3/6)

4) Why is this relevant? This graph shows that, in countries that collected the relevant data, there is substantial variation in death rates between men and women. @GlobalHlth5050 (4/6)

5) Putting this together, we clearly see that reported #COVID19 deaths rates are consistently and considerably higher in men than women. @GlobalHlth5050 (5/6)

6) Conclusion; countries need to provide sex-disaggregated #COVID19 data in order to understand if and why there are more men than women dying of COVID-19, so to learn what to do about it and help curb this global pandemic. (6/6)

The data to create these figures were taken from the #COVID19 sex-disaggregated data tracker @GlobalHlth5050 https://globalhealth5050.org/covid19/#1586248980572-3839d9fe-3b88
