Fig.9. Vulnerability to COVID-19 measured in terms of Deaths per Million, upto 1st of May 2020. a) Deaths in Moderately cold, Very cold and Warm countries are shown. In category 3, all Warm countries (SAARC and South East Asian countries (SEAC), continents of Australia and Africa) together are presented. Uncertainty at one standard deviation level is marked. b) Box plot with particular focus on SAARC and SEAC groups. c) Record of each individual country from b.
Fig. 10. Rolling 7-day average of daily confirmed COVID-19 deaths per million upto 6th May 202033. India, Asia, Africa and Australia all are very low compared to the rest throughout and practically merges with X-axis (hence not visible). The bottom three curves are for Russia, Brazil and Canada respectively. All three are showing a rising trend. Top four high peak curves are for UK, USA, Spain and Italy. All four are currently in a declining state. Plot generated using: https://ourworldindata.org/ grapher/ daily-covid-deaths-per-million-7-day-average, accessed on 10/05/2020.
