They talk about a few causes, but this is the gist of it for anyone who doesn’t want to click:

Researchers cited the pandemic as the biggest factor in the widening gender gap; it took a heavier toll on men. Unintentional injuries and poisonings (mostly drug overdoses), accidents and suicide were other contributors.

I forgot that suicide was super macho.

I warned my ex when it was just beginning to be understood back in March 2020, and his exact response was, "It's not like I'm going to die." He says, occupying every high risk category except "immunocompromised."

So yeah, apparently.
