In the previously posted write-up, I described how much corona infected the severely affected countries. That is, how much were cases of infection in the country. In that write up we saw the US be on the top of having the greatest corona cases which were 1132.038 thousand. This figure was 4.57 times higher than that of the second-greatest infected country Spain (245.567 thousand). Italy was in the third position in respect of having the total corona-infected persons.
Today we shall examine the efficiency of the individual country which has over 10 thousand infected persons. This efficiency will be determined by comparing these figures (cases) with their respective populations.
Among the 37 countries which had been severely affected, the largest populous country is China (1393 million) followed by India (1353 million). The USA is in the third position having 328.2 million citizens in its states. Conversely, Qatar has the least population which is only 2.782 million.
In respect of the infection per 10 thousand of citizens, the topmost country was Qatar and Spain having 53.46 and 52.32, respectively. That is, these two countries had over 50 corona-infected persons out of 10 thousand of their population. This indicates that these two countries had inferior management to resist corona to infect their people.
In the second order having poor management were Belgium and Ireland having the infected persons of 43.21 and 42.48 per 10 thousands, respectively. While there are four countries in the third order having corona infected persons in between 30 and 35 per 10 thousand of their citizens. The countries are USA (34.49), Italy (34.37), Switzerland (34.79) and Singapore (31.12). One fact I must comment here that despite of being the most severely affected countries, the USA and Italy could prevent the corona from spreading in more of its populations compared to the Qatar, Spain, Belgium and Ireland.
Five countries fell in the fourth order, such as UK (26.62), France (24.98), Portugal (24.66), Netherlands (23.28) and Sweden (21.59). That is, these countries had in between 20-30 corona infected persons per 10 thousand of their own populations.
In the fifth order,countries were Germany, Israel, Belarus, Turkey, Ecuador, Canada, UAE, Peru and Iran having within 10 thousands of their own peoples, the infected persons were in between 10 and 20.
Four countries were in the 6th order such as Chile, Russia, Saudi Arabia and Romania who had better management having between 5 and 10 corona infested persons out of 10 thousand of their own populations compared to the countries such as China, Indonesia, Pakistan, Brazil, Japan, Mexico, South Korea, Ukraine, and Poland which had below 5 infested persons out of 10 thousand of their population. It would be note worthy saying that China being the first corona infested country could stop corona in spreading among more of its population.
The corona spread was mainly, I would say mostly, determined by the compliance of the citizens to the social distance rules that every government set, although the enforced execution of the social distance rule by some of the governments worked well to a great extent in many of the corona affected countries.
Well this efficiency that I assumed was on the basis of the total population of the individual country. In practical, the corona spreading or outbreak was governed not only by the management skill of the government, but also by the immunity of the citizens of those corona affected countries.
