Categories which seem to be more affected by COVID 19:
Older (more specifically not young)
Male
Diabetic
Cardiovascular disease
Lung disease
Also, hydroxychloroquine has shown to be an effective treatment.

Good question although I believe women are more iron deficient than men. It has also been shown that smokers are more susceptible to lung complications from the virus. I don’t know and I’m not a doctor. Would love someone else to take a stab at this.
