Rapid characterization of the propagation of COVID-19 in different countries	2020-06-11		.txt	text/plain	4926	266	59	INTERPRETATION The adjustment of a Gaussian to daily data of COVID-19 in each country reveals the different propagation dynamics, properly characterized by the parameters proposed here. Column 1: country; Column 2: population in thousand inhabitants; Column 3: Number of applied COVID-19 tests; Column 4: Test density (ratio between the last two columns); Column 5: accumulated number of positive tests; Column 6: accumulated number of deaths; Column 7: percentage of mortality (based on the ration of the two previous columns); Column 8: BCG vaccination status; Column 9: Maximum of fitting Gaussian; Column 10: FWHM of the fitting Gaussian; Column 11: Figure of merit proposed in this paper. Despite fluctuations in the daily cases of COVID-19, it is possible in general to adjust a Gaussian function to high density sets of data pointing to a possible mathematical description of the evolution of the pandemic in different countries, as shown in Figs.	./cache/cord-288618-01hxgcds.txt	./txt/cord-288618-01hxgcds.txt
