Abstract
The SARS-CoV-2 virus, originating in Wuhan, China, has spread globally, leading to millions of infections and thousands of fatalities. Nevertheless, the dispersion of the disease across diverse countries and regions exhibits substantial disparities. It is imperative to investigate the factors contributing to the varying impact on different countries and territories. In this study, we employed straightforward statistical methods to explore potential associations between disease severity and the environmental, economic, and social factors of countries. Our analysis reveals that countries with lower average annual temperatures, greater economic openness, and more robust political democracies tend to exhibit a higher incidence of confirmed Coronavirus cases. However, it is essential to exercise caution when interpreting these findings, as statistical relationships do not inherently imply causation. The elucidation of how the virus behaves in distinct environments necessitates clinical experiments conducted by medical experts.
Key words: Coronavirus, temperature, openness, straightforward statistical methods, democracy.
