The impact of sex and gender in the COVID-19 pandemic. Gendered innovations 2: how inclusive analysis contributes to research and innovation. "Although infectious diseases can affect everyone, sex and gender can significantly impact immune responses and the course of the disease in the human body. Importantly, the biological impacts of the pandemic intersect with broader social and systemic challenges, such as limited healthcare, and economic and logistic resources. In the ca...se of COVID19, current worldwide statistics show more men than women dying of acute infection (GlobalHealth5050, 2020), while women are projected to suffer more than men from the health, economic and social consequences of the pandemic in the long term. Innovative solutions beyond health, such as economic re-entry strategies, product development and AI solutions also need to consider sex and gender Oertelt-Prigione S The impact of sex and gender in the COVID-19 pandemic.

"In recent years prominent UK and US leaders in science and medicine have called for the end of all-male speaking panels, or manels, and focused admirably on the issue of participation in science. Arguably more important than who does the research, however, is how the research is conducted. Are crucial variables missing? Are basic theoretical frameworks ignoring key components? We posit that it's time to end science in which mankind represents all humankind. It's also time to integrate how sex and gender interact into basic and applied research. How scientific knowledge is produced is fundamentally important." https://www.thelancet.com//PIIS0140-6736(20)32346/fulltext
