Abstract

COVID-19, also known as coronavirus disease of 2019, is a virus that was first discovered in December of 2019. Symptoms of COVID-19 feel much like the flu, a cold, and pneumonia. In this report we analyzed how a country's gross domestic product per capita (gdppc) affects COVID-19 deaths. Along with gdppc we included other variables that may have had an influence on the death rate. This is an important study due to the correlation that could be associated with higher living standards possibly leading to lower number of COVID-19 deaths.
