A lengthy piece published by the BBC this morning. The only reference to a gender angle, in the middle of the piece:

The largest jump in excess deaths was seen in men aged 50-64, most commonly caused by heart problems.

It need hardly be pointed out that if the largest jump had taken place with respect to women, the headline would have been modified accordingly.
