these two articles on women leaders have been widely shared, but perhaps omit a key point...
these leaders have been risk-averse. they forced early closures & thereby helped flatten the curve.
women tend to be more risk-averse.

individual leadership is given far too much attention, relative to structure - generally
structure matters: wealth, state capacity, health systems, experience of sars
controlling for that, indiv leadership matters in terms of early closures (which have reduced the death count).

the funny (perhaps not & #39;haha& #39;) thing is that we& #39;ve often treated women& #39;s aversion to risk as a problem to be fixed
but now we see that if you live in a jurisdiction with a risk-averse leader, you have a much higher chance of survival*.
*controlling for all the structural stuff.
