A member asked:

Dose anyone think the higher rate of transmission of coronavirus in men might be due to the microabrasions on the face resulting from shaving every day, and our tendency to touch our faces all day?

Lots of speculations: Men may have more severe cases, but the reasons are still investigated. It is not likely that it has to do with shaving or touching the face more.
