Estrogen may lessen severity of COVID-19 symptoms in women, study finds:
There is growing evidence that Covid-19 poses greater risks for men than women1. Wake Forest School of Medicine has published a review of preclinical data that may indicate a protective effect related to estrogen.
Why are men at greater risk than women for more severe symptoms and worse outcomes from COVID-19 regardless of age?
In an effort to understand why this occurs, scientists at Wake Forest School of Medicine conducted a review of published preclinical data on sex-specific hormone activity, especially estrogen. The review is published in the September online issue of the journal Current Hypertension Reports.
"We know that coronavirus affects the heart and we know that estrogen is protective against cardiovascular disease in women, so the most likely explanation seemed to be hormonal differences between the sexes," said the lead author of the review, Leanne Groban, M.D., professor of anesthesiology at Wake Forest School of Medicine, part of Wake Forest Baptist Health.

That. Or illiteracy, which is very likely based on oral speech. Or both.
Two major defects for the price of one. We should be happy.
Stroke or mini / many strokes explain that.
Another symptom is 'right side weakness'. Hence the dropping of his right face. Inability to lift drinking cup with right arm, unassisted by left arm. Inability for right leg to walk down a ramp.
The face dropping on the right would explain him SUDDENLY wearing a mask in public. Previously he wouldn't wear a mask because it would mess up his orange clown makeup. But more importantly is to hide from the public that his right face is

This is the typical leftist stuff where if they're bad and know it, so they claim its ACTUALLY the other guys.
So yeah, everyone knows Biden is basically a semi-animated vegetable, so its supposed to impress voters when there's claims its ACTUALLY Trump who's the vegetable, but nobody falls for it, LOL.
On a personal level its sad seeing some elderly disabled dude being used "weekend at bernies" style ironically to keep actual real world Bernie out of his parties nominations. They should have just let Biden retire into a nice old folks home in peace, go run Hillary again, LOL.
Didn't work last election either. Remember how many underage girls Bill Clinton raped making it look bad for Hillary? So uh, yeah, uh Trump did that all the time, huh huh yeah thats it, as if anyone believes that kind of stuff. Ironically I guess Biden was in fact a rapist but having no more memory due to extreme age it seems unfair to punish a guy for raping a girl he can't remember anymore, so nobody's hassling him about it.
