Abstract

Epidemiological literature identifies a variety of factors that can affect the mortality of COVID-19. We use a sample of 42 countries and 46 States of the US, and analyse 19 factors that could affect mortality. The factors that were found significant were the following: Population in nursing homes; pollution; prevalence of lung cancers, hypertension and diabetes; median age of population and percentage of the population above 65 years old; air traffic; population concentration; mean temperature; and UV radiation. Regarding mobility policies, quarantines to passengers arriving and suspending the entry of air passengers were found to reduce mortality; community mobility reduction in public spaces was not found to reduce mortality and the influx of people in the healthcare system in the following weeks to the outbreak.
