Background And Aims:
The novel Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in Wuhan, China, became a pandemic after its outbreak in January 2020. Countries one after the other are witnessing peak effects of the disease, and they need to learn from the experience of others already affected or peaked countries. Thus, this paper aims to analyse the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on different countries through COVID-19 cases, resulting in deaths and recoveries.
Methods:
This study analyses quantitatively the lethal effects of the pandemic through the study of infections, deaths, and recoveries on the 13 most-affected COVID-19 countries as of 1 s t June. The daily change in cases, deaths, and recoveries for all the 13 countries were considered. Combined analysis for comparison and separate analysis for the detailed study were both taken for every country. All the graphs were made in RStudio using the R programming language, as it is best for statistical analysis.
Results:
The casual and ignorant behaviour of people is a major reason for such a large scale spread of the coronavirus. The government of every country should be strict as well as considerate to all sections of people while making policies. There is no room for mistakes, as one wrong decision or one delayed decision can worsen the situation. However, some countries which were once the epicentre of this pandemic are now corona-free, proving that this global threat can be tackled and we should all keep our morale high.
Conclusions:
The coronavirus disease is not any ordinary viral infection; it has become a pandemic as it has an impact on health, mortality, economy and social well being of the entire world. Qualitative and Quantitative analysis of the statistics related to COVID-19 in different countries is done based on their officials' data. The primary objective of this analysis is to learn about the relationships of various countries in containing the spread of COVID-19 and the various factors such as government policies, the cooperation of people, economy, and tourism.
