This is an interesting study that looks at many variables in a multivariate model to try and compare per capita mortality to see what matters most in terms of demographics, policy, environment, etc.

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/341913770_Association_of_country-wide_coronavirus_mortality_with_demographics_testing_lockdowns_and_public_wearing_of_masks_Update_June_2_2020

Some interesting findings, some obvious others less so.

Increased mortality: Smoking prevalence, per capita gdp, urbanization, colder avg temp, duration of infection, % older than 60, prevalence of obesity

Decreased mortality: Duration of widespread mask wearing, international travel restrictions

No significant difference: Lockdowns (trend less mortality but p=.44); per capita testing (trend increased mortality p=.77)

 

Biggest takeaways from me are we need to emphasize the hell out of the importance of masks and direct resources if possible to provide good quality masks.

Other important takeaways, further evidence that lockdowns aren't the right answer and that while testing is necessary for obvious reasons, it isn't the answer.

Caveats need to be placed as always that correlations do not always directly mean causation so findings like this need to be considered carefully.

All the significant findings had a p<0.001

No wonder the thread was closed and all COVID talk banned.

Wow!

Seriously?

I have held back on you for sometime now. But this was totally uncalled for. If you want to disagree then fine, but to laugh out loud at someone on an online forum???  Excuse my French but what a dick move.
