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.

The data coming in seems to have the gender set as "female".
Reference: https://api.rootnet.in/covid19-in/unofficial/covid19india.org

Ideally, shouldn't we be correcting the API data?

Yeah, this looks like an API issue.

The API issue has been resolved.

However the cluster is visually the same, where 'unknown' genders are represented with the female graphic. Need graphics to be created and replaced for the "unknown" gender, similar to the existing male and female graphics. (An image with ? on a gray-colored face would be good, else only a question mark would do well.)
