Analysis of COVID -19: Where Do We Stand?

Background: The COVID-19 is a real pandemia and only very few countries in the world were minimally affected. Objective: To measure the impact of COVID-19 deaths in 49 countries (49 SC or selected countries) and correlate them with, ecological, demographical, social, economic variables, aging and chronic diseases. Material and methods: The 49 SCs are those considered by WHO reliable in term of deaths records. Data concerning COVID-19 were taken from John Hopkins records updated to December 5th. The ecological, demographical, social, economical variable were consistent with the CIA Fact Book 2020. The deaths due to the most common diseases and cancers were taken from the WHO records in term of ASDRs (Age Standardized Death Rate). The age index was taken from The World Bank. The correlations were calculate in term “r” (linear correlation). Results: The 49 SC represent about 19% of the world population accounting for about 61% of the total worldwide deaths. Very consistent differences among countries were shown, from 0% deaths up to 1.5 % deaths/1000 inhabitants. Any correlation was found with aging and ecological, demographical/social, economic variables. The same was for the most common diseases (a part of peptic ulcer) and cancers (a part of bladder cancer). Conclusion: The COVID-19 seems to be an independent disease, and the efficiency in reducing deaths belongs mainly by political issues.
