Şiddetli Akut Solunum Sendromu Koronavirüs-2 (COVID-19) salgını dünya çapında bir kaos yaratırken aynı zamanda ülkelerin sağlık sistemleri üzerinde de büyük bir baskı yaratmıştır. Bazı ülkeler pandemiyle başarılı bir şekilde başa çıkarken, diğer taraftan bazı ülkeler pandeminin yayılmasını önlemede yetersiz kalmıştır. Bu çalışmada, pandemi sürecinde sıkıntılı günler geçiren bazı Avrupa Birliği Bölgesi ülkelerinin verileri kullanılmış ve analiz edilmiştir. Bu çalışmanın temel amacı, bu krizden ciddi şekilde etkilenen İtalya, İspanya ve Birleşik Krallık ile diğerlerine nispeten daha iyi bir durum sergileyen ve hızla normale dönmesi beklenen Almanya ve Portekiz arasında şeker tüketimi, TBC aşısı, hava kirliliği gibi farklı ölüm oranlarına neden olan bazı faktörlerin etkisini tartışmaktır. Pandeminin etkisini artırabilecek faktörlerin genel değerlendirmesi, odak grup ülkeleri arasında karşılaştırmalar yapılarak tartışılmaktadır.

Data Analysis of the Factors Related with Covid-19 Death Ratios: Cases in Spain, Italy, UK, Germany and Portugal

Öz

Severe Acut Respiratory Syndrome Coronovirus- 2 (COVID-19) pandemic has been created worldwide chaos and also great pressure on the health systems of countries at the same time. While some countries are able to cope with the pandemic successfully, on the other hand, some countries have taken insufficient measures to prevent the spread of the pandemic. In this study, the data of some European Union Region countries, which had distressful days with this pandemic, have been used and analyzed. The main purpose of this study is to argue the effect of some factors causing different death ratios such as sugar consumption, vaccination of TBC, and air pollution, between Italy, Spain and United Kingdom which have been suffering from this crisis severely and Germany and Portugal which have been exhibited relatively better conditions than others and expected to get normalized quickly during this pandemic. General evaluation of the factors that can increase the effect of the pandemic is discussed among the focused group countries.
