"Bald men at significantly higher risk of severe CV-19 symptoms, according to 'studies':

QuoteThe lead author of a study in Spain said he believes baldness is a 'perfect predictor' of the severity at which people will suffer from Covid-19. Brown University's Professor Carlos Wambier conducted two studies in Spain which found that a disproportionately high number of men with male pattern baldness were taken to hospital with coronavirus. The first study found of 71% of the 41 patients examined with Covid-19 in Spanish hospitals were bald, with the background rate of baldness for white men of a similar age to the patients between 31 and 53%.

This is being reported quite widely, but I'm not sure how good the study is.

They need a control group like bald men who always wear baseball hats. What's William Hague up to these days?
