#2This is a bizarre take on the epidemic, and sounds perilously close to Hillary Clinton's statement that "women have always been the primary victims of war".
A lot of people are going to die and gender isn't going to matter in the resulting misery.

According to WaPo[0] Corona kills more men than women, in effect making women the primary victims, because women will have to deal with the fallout.

#4So far I've seen articles claiming that it's particularly burdensome for the poor, the elderly, and now women. I'm sure soon enough I'll stumble across one that makes the same claim for minorities.
People just seem to spit out articles tying current events to their existing social causes, regardless of how tenuous the connection is.

In the sense of Ecclesiastes 4 (the dead are happier than the living, and happier still are those who were never born), this is true. And in my opinion a wise sentiment.
I very much doubt that this author or Clinton had that sense in mind.
