Globally, women who contracted COVID-19 have been less likely than infected men to get really sick or die. Researchers in Los Angeles have begun giving male patients the hormone progesterone, mainly found in women, to see if that helps them recover. One of those researchers joins us to discuss the study. And, photojournalist Jeff Rhode takes us inside Holy Name Medical Center, an independent hospital in Teaneck, New Jersey, where he is documenting the coronavirus pandemic. That and more, in hour two of Here & Now's May 12, 2020, full broadcast. You can find more at hereandnow.org — and follow us on TwitterInstagram or join the conversation on Facebook.

This program aired on May 12, 2020.
