Description

Describe the bug In the raw database, genders of some patients is missing, and the same is reflected in the cluster by displaying it as female. Also, it may not be possible for the crowd-sourced data to get gender of all the patients. Also, it gives wrong visualization inference, that more females are infected by the virus.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to COVID-19 crowd-sourced database.
  2. Note down the patient number(s) with missing gender.
  3. Go to COVID-19 cluster.
  4. Search for the noted patient number(s).
  5. See error.(Gender misrepresentation)

Expected behavior It's expected that if the gender is unknown, a grey ? clip-art maybe shown with 'N/A' in the gender field to compensate for the missing information.

Research direction
The issue involves a bug where missing patient gender is displayed as 'female' instead of a placeholder like 'N/A'. The first step is to locate the component(s) that render patient gender in the cluster view. Look for any default mapping that sets 'female' for missing values. Consider adding a condition to display 'N/A' or a third gender option. Also review the database schema to see how gender is stored.
