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:
