BACKGROUND AND AIMS: COVID-19 pandemic has affected various countries differently
due to variance in demographics, income level, health infrastructure, government
response, control and enforcement, and cultural traits of different populations.
This study aims to identify significant factors behind the unequal distribution
of identified cases and deaths in different countries. Our study's objective is
comparative analysis and identification of relations between the spread of
COVID-19 pandemic, population characteristics, and government response. METHODS:
The top 18 countries worst hit by COVID-19 cases were identified. The data
metrics, such as the number of cases, deaths, fatality rates, tests, average life
expectancy, and population, were collected and consolidated. RESULTS: Countries
with significant percentage of the older population are vulnerable to a high
number of deaths due to COVID-19. Developed countries have higher per capita
testing, whereas testing is less intensive in developing/underdeveloped
countries. There is a consensus among health experts that COVID-19 has higher
fatality rates for people above 60, however, with further age, this increases
exponentially. Countries with higher life expectancy are also high-income
countries, and the best course of action would be to provide specialized support
to self-isolate for people of ages 75 and above. CONCLUSION: The behaviour of
disease occurring at a large scale and interaction with different populations is
studied to understand and differentiate the factors and measures that
successfully inhibited the pandemic. The study benchmarks different countries
based on their performance and efforts against the pandemic and provides some
useful insights on the efficiency of their governance and potential to improve &
ramp up their programs. The economic status and existing healthcare
infrastructure as they are the key factors in determining the country's ability
to contain and minimize the losses from this pandemic.
