Time Cycle of the Virus
Contagiuosness Degree
- The minimum number of people infected by an COVID patient = 1
- The maximum number of people infected by an COVID patient = 44
- The average number = 2.27 and that almost similar to the reproductive number of the COVID19
Spread Factors
- It was assumed that some country-level factors e.g. life expectancy score, epidemics history (ebola, sars, mers-cov), etc. can show a correlation with the current COVID19 number of confirmed cases
- There was no strong correlation, but a potential correlation
- For example, life expectancy and population density showed an increasing pattern with the Log number of COVID19 confirmed cases
- while population age ratio for ages less than 14 showed a negative pattern
