Looking at the distribution of detected and recorded deaths in countries around the world, we can conclude that more globalized countries are more affected by the new virus (https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/). First and foremost, the virus has hit the countries most economically related to China. These are the G7 countries and their closest partners (and Iran). Developed countries obviously have the most outsourced production in China. Accordingly, they have many business trips to China. Good wages of developed countries give citizens great freedom to travel the world (in particular, to exotic China).
And first of all, these free people brought the virus to their friends, relatives and colleagues.
In developed countries, the authorities cannot restrict the freedom of citizens, as in China, for example. This is probably why the virus has spread rapidly to Europe and the United States at the beginning.
Second- and third-tier countries have received a small amount of time because they are much less affiliated with China. They currently have an order or two orders of magnitude fewer deaths. Yet. Whether the second and third tier countries will be able to keep deaths low is another question. Will see. In these countries (like Ukraine, Mexico), the health system is weak. Will strict quarantine rules and greater control by the authorities be a social deterrent to the virus. Will see. If a third-tier country erupts into the virus, as in developed countries, there will probably be a collapse and defenseless paramedics will run away. Will it be, we will see soon.
The world is a global village and China is an economic world power. Thus, it is easy for the Corona Virus (Covid 19) that started at China to sread like wide fire across the world.
Dear Valentyn Isaiev ,
I agree with your view, that the virus has hit the countries the most economically related to China (e.g.: the G7 and Iran). On the other hand, I think that strengthening global authorities and institutions (e.g.: WHO) should be a solution rather than the restrictions of freedom in the hit countries.
Dear Miloslav Machoň ,
I think, in this case, such global authorities should have branches in all countries with the right to monitor the current situation and take measures. What is the source of financing? We need financial support funds. Local budgets are unlikely to be able to afford such a load. For example, the United States does not want to take on the lion's share of NATO funding.
In Ukraine, poor financing of medicine as well as the provision of personal protective equipment for physicians. It may be cheaper for lower midle income countries to keep people locked up at home than to buy medical supplies ...
Dear Valentyn Isaiev ,
Thank you for your useful insight. Yes, I understand and agree with you. The allocation of finance will be probably the first step on how to improve the monitoring, implementation and enforcement of the global problems. Second, institutional reform may realise.
Thank you for explaining the situation in Ukraine. It is valid for Czechia also. I agree with this.
To control this Coronavirus each country should draw up the plan for handling this deadly disease. Huge funds will be needed to handle the problem. Poor and disadvantaged people need financial assistance to get the basic items for foodfor survival.
One gets the impression that first image shows a list of the most globalized countries in the world. These countries have close economic ties with China and with each other, as do tourists. The estimate is based on the total death rate. Because the total cases rate depends on the intensity of testing and the population covered.
It can be seen that Canada and Japan are missing in the first image. By ordering the total cases, Canada also appears (second image), demonstrating the spread of the virus to globalized countries. Iran is probably the exception, but it has close integration with China. As for Japan, it is said that the Japanese are in no hurry to test. In addition, they also had a "mask culture" before the coronavirus, frequent hand washing, and no handshake.
Dear Prof. Valentyn Isaiev, I post here a new capture (July) from worldmeter.com about the Sars-CoV-20 numbers to compare with the April numbers. Notice that the G5 now is above the G7 group in the number of infections. So it is globalization plus something else, I guess.
Yes, Dear Prof. Pedro L. Contreras E. , you are probably right!
But it seems to me that, given the beginning of this drama, the G7 countries, China's neighbors, and some closely linked to China (such as Iran) have spread the infection for the first. In geographically distant countries with little ties to China and a poor population (such as Ukraine), the infection came in third order.
In addition, technologically and economically well-developed countries have much more health prevention and high-tech protective resources to stop spreading.
You are right Dear Prof. Valentyn Isaiev, infections have shifted to highly industrialized countries but not the most developed: Brasil, India, Mexico, and others. They cannot cope with the spreading.
India is giving many examples to solve issues related with covid many countries can utilised these according to the situations of their country
Thank you to everyone who has already contributed to this discussion, Dear colleagues! This is important and interesting!
I have a question about the situation in India, Dear Dr Arun kumar Sharma !
I watched the dynamics on the Worldmeter for months. And in the spring, it seemed to me that India was far from an epidemic, although geographically it even had a border with China. But in the summer the situation changed and we see a significant increase in patients and victims.
So, Dear Dr Arun kumar Sharma , please tell us what precautions are currently being practiced in your country. In Ukraine, quarantine has been relaxed (more transport communications have been allowed, but cinemas and indoor restaurants are still closed, only 2 per compartment is allowed on trains instead of 4 people, and masks are required in the metro). But the number of sick and dead has increased.
And what about India?
Dear Valentyn Isaiev
i am adding few things as the all schemes which followed by govt of india are not possible to write here.
1) Govt providing full facility to safety for health care persons(PPE kits etc)
recovery rate in India is more than 67% making more and more COVID centers(HOSPITALS) and providing an excellent facility
(2)a big number of testing is going on in India in the more affected area and lockdown and curfew imposed according to requirement.
the main focus is to stop the movement of peoples as generally every person not following rules if anyone found to break rules, strong action was taken by Police he/she may be arrested of he/she have to works work with covid19 Team and must collect door to door samples of COVID....
(3)Not only govt, govt officials and generous peoples actively working to save peoples from COVID in India
peoples are helping each other as much as possible.
a large number of Indians following rules made by higher authorities to fight this disease, the notorious peoples who disobey rules are punished. everyone has to follow the rule
(2) Indian govt provided around USD 22 billion relief package aginst COVID 19.
up to November 2020, around 80 crore people will get food(rice, Wheat) this scheme extended.
https://home.kpmg/xx/en/home/insights/2020/04/india-government-and-institution-measures-in-response-to-covid.html
classes for kids as well as in colleges are going online.
the final conclusion is that govt is very serious towards COVID 19 so spending a huge amount of money and resources and also taking care of peoples it is happening as in India now no corruption at govt and other levels so peoples are getting direct benefits
regards
Thank you very much, Dear Dr Arun kumar Sharma , for this detailed description and I wish success to the Indian society (as well as other nations) in overcoming this problem.
Thus, it can be assumed that the real quality of medicine in Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, Bulgaria, Vietnam is better (because the number of victims is much less considering the total population) than in the USA, Canada, Italy, France. It seems to me that the quality of medical care is directly related to financing.
I do not fully understand why such a difference in the number of victims in countries with close populations! If we look at the situation in such countries (the countries similar to Ukraine are closer to me).
The number of tests in Iraq and Ukraine is almost the same, and the number of cases and victims is 2-3 times different. Iraq is close to the previously infected Iran, Ukraine is close to the previously infected EU. What is it, a more balanced quarantine or climate, or human discipline?
Further. Sudan and Uganda are probably less integrated into the global market? This is my guess ... As for Argentina, in my opinion, this is the best option for comparison. The country is more similar in development and culture (Algeria is probably a little different in culture?). Thus, Argentina has about 3 times more cases and victims. Why? These are: different virus resistance of the population ?, different quarantine measures? different mobility of the population (Argentina is probably integrated with heavily infected Brazil)?, samething else?
It is clearer with Spain! The country is highly globalized, has a highly mobile population, a common border with Italy and France, business with China. Spain is also among the vanguard countries of the pandemic.
Maybe I did not take something into account?
Indeed, the number of corona victims seems to rise substantially after filling all hospital beds. Without professional health care, the number of deaths increases significantly. Unlike the flu, the corona at home is not yet properly treated. In Ukraine, as of mid-autumn 2020, beds are running out, the number of sick and victims is growing, according to rumors, many health workers have resigned due to excessive workload.
It seems that in Argentina the number of medical institutions capable of fighting the corona is less than in Ukraine, since the number of active patients is less, and there are more victims per day with the same number of tests.
For countries with approximately the same population, economic and global indicators are presented.
In my opinion, the size of the salary determines the degree of human freedom (more opportunities to travel the world). The integrated index of global integration of KOF is also related to the number of business trips abroad.
The Table shows that the best figures are in Spain. Here are the most cases of Covid-19. Argentina has a fairly high salary, but KOF is in third place (here the second position for Covid-19, probably because of the better salaries). Ukraine ranks second in the KOF index, but low wages significantly limit the flow of tourists. However, Iraqis have more opportunities to travel (good income), so they have third place by Covid-19. African countries are the least globalized, and people have limited money for tourism.
