Which is why my making of pockets for women was quite popular, for a while.

Less than national average. And, we are an international destination with daily non-stops from Europe to our tiny airport (about the size of Bob Hope Airport in Burbank, CA) I think fresh air and happier living conditions has made for a healthier population. Especially when you factor in that our local pop is of a higher average age than the US avg. Put quit to the idea that lock downs and shutting businesses down helps with slowing the spread of the virus.
I usually only hear the opposite. How poor men are limited to whatever they manage to fit into the four tight pockets of their Jeans while women can carry most of their household with them all the time
Winter alleviates it a little due to extra pockets on coats and jackets but during summer men are very limted with what they can carry.
Keys in right front pocket. Mobile in left Front pocket (better not buy a too big one). Small wallet in right back pocket and that's usually it.
No comparison to the dozends of things women produce from their handbag
So, that's not a great way to put it.
"Mansplaining" is when a man steps in to explain things because they assume women don't know things. The assumption and condescension are major elements of the issue.
If you are asking for information, they aren't 'splaining.

This is a really weird through-the-rabbit-hole take on the topic. Women have to carry a handbag, in no small part, because they have such deficient pseudo-pockets (if you can't get your hand in it, it's not a real pocket, it's a pseudo-pocket). My wife and her friends constantly complain about their terrible pockets - and they're absolutely right. I've virtually never had a time when pockets have been an issue - at least not since the days of the tight jeans from the late 1970s/early 1980s.I usually only hear the opposite.

Are men's clothes in Germany made with such deficient pockets?

That's good. Sounds like you've got multiple factors working well for you. Here in New Hampshire we had similar; despite inferior rates of vaccination compared to our neighbor states and less use of lockdown and distancing protocols, we were still pretty lightly hit by the first two significant waves. Sadly, the third wave hit us hard, I suspect in part due to people getting complacent after we got off lightly on the first two.
I think we'd need significantly more data to be confident about that. You may be mistaking correlation for causation. We do have a Kiwi posting in the thread, and their experience is quite the opposite.
Not to mention that a man can get away with wallet, keys, and cell phone, but our culture puts expectations on women that necessitate carrying a lot of other things.

No. Africa is the large test bed that proves my point as being correct. The "scientists" call it the COVID conundrum. No real population COVID controls and FAR lower infection rates. I called it in the 3rd month and was right.

Actually the death rate per capita hasn't changed by >1% from pre Covid years. Goes to show ya.

I don't think that's accurate. Which parts of Africa are you referring to?
