COVID-19: Predictive Mathematical Models for the Number of Deaths in South Korea, Italy, Spain, France, UK, Germany, and USA	2020-05-12		.txt	text/plain	2078	134	56	title: COVID-19: Predictive Mathematical Models for the Number of Deaths in South Korea, Italy, Spain, France, UK, Germany, and USA We have recently introduced two novel mathematical models for characterizing the dynamics of the cumulative number of individuals in a given country reported to be infected with COVID-19. 64 In a recent paper (9) we presented a model for the dynamics of the accumulative number of 65 individuals in a given country that are reported at time t to be infected by COVID-19. Here we will show that the Ricatti equation introduced in (9) can also be used for determining the 82 time evolution of the number, N(t), of deaths in a given country caused by the COVID-19 epidemic. Thus, the birational and (which was not certified by peer review) is the author/funder, who has granted medRxiv a license to display the preprint in perpetuity.	./cache/cord-299439-xvfab24g.txt	./txt/cord-299439-xvfab24g.txt
