Now experts have suggested men gathering to watch football may be a potential reason why women were nearly a third less likely than them to test positive for coronavirus.
Professor Paul Elliott, director of the React programme from Imperial’s School of Public Health, said the increased probability of men gathering to watch matches may be the reason for the imbalance in infections - mixing inside more frequently than they usually would.
The study , which tested men and women in two rounds this year - saw women have a 30 per cent reduced odds of testing positive.

It’s an interesting find, if a bit of  an own goal for the beautiful game.

Have a fantastic evening - and C'mon England!

 

Nicola.
