What a stupid headline.
"So who are these people? They're a bit more likely to be female. While both the comparison groups were roughly evenly split between male and female, the superspreaders were 60 percent female. They're also older, on average 58 years old, nearly 20 years older than the sample as a whole."
So it's not older women but older people, a bit more often women than men
And perhaps statistically insignificant when proportionally adjusted (men die younger or fewer use social media).
