Abstract

This paper compares the number of infected cases and deaths of an ongoing pandemic of COVID-19 outbreak for Bangladesh, India and Pakistan for the period of March 8, 2020 to September 21, 2020. Comparisons among countries using absolute numbers are not comparable due to different factors, such as population sizes, rates of per 100,000 and also because not all countries are affected equally and at the same time. Following Middelburg and Rosendaal (2020), we graphically compare the number of cases and deaths expressed as a percentage of the cases and deaths on the reference day 25 after the first reported death. To see the impact of reference days, several later reference days are also considered in this study. From these comparisons, clear differences were observed among countries. Among these three countries, it is observed that Bangladesh had the most extreme flattening of the curve, followed by Pakistan and then India. We observed that the epidemic developed in India much more rapidly as compare to Bangladesh and Pakistan.
COVID-19病例和死亡:孟加拉国、印度和巴基斯坦的比较
本文比较了2020年3月8日至2020年9月21日期间孟加拉国、印度和巴基斯坦持续爆发的COVID-19大流行的感染病例和死亡人数。由于不同的因素,如人口规模、每10万人的死亡率,以及并非所有国家同时受到同等影响,使用绝对数字的国家之间的比较没有可比性。继Middelburg和Rosendaal(2020)之后,我们以图表形式比较了在首次报告死亡后的第25参考日,以病例和死亡的百分比表示的病例和死亡人数。为了观察参考日的影响,本研究还考虑了几个较晚的参考日。从这些比较中可以看出,各国之间存在明显差异。在这三个国家中,可以观察到,孟加拉国的曲线扁平化程度最高,其次是巴基斯坦,然后是印度。我们注意到,与孟加拉国和巴基斯坦相比,这种流行病在印度的发展要快得多。
