Country-specific COVID-19 incidence (rows 1 and 3) and mortality rate (rows 2 and 4) depending on explanatory variables: outbreak duration ( a,d ), number of tests performed ( b,e ), GDP per capita ( c,f ), press freedom ranking measure (countries with limited press freedom have higher rank; g,j ), fraction of senior citizens ( h,k ) and position of the country's centroid ( i,l ). ./cache/cord-300750-huyl21vz.txt ./txt/cord-300750-huyl21vz.txt
