4. Determine the incidence and prevalence of the health issue using the data from the Corona virus Case Study Data Tables resource to perform the appropriate calculations. Table 1 displays the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases by country that were reported daily between January 21, 2020, and February 1, 2020.
- Calculate the incidence of COVID-19 in China on January 21, 2020. Assume the population of China at the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic was 1.4 billion, or 1,400,000,000.
- Calculate the prevalence of COVID-19 worldwide during the entire period from January 21, 2020, to February 1, 2020. Assume that the global population at the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic was 7.821 billion, or 7,821,000,000.
5. Determine the mortality rate of the health issue using the data from the Coronavirus Case Study Data Tables resource to perform the appropriate calculations. Table 2 displays the total number of deaths from COVID-19 in all countries each day between January 21, 2020, and January 31, 2020.
- To calculate mortality, use the total number of deaths from Table 2 and the total number of confirmed cases from Table 1.
6. Interpret the odds ratios in the Coronavirus Case Study Data Tables resource to determine the strength of association between the baseline characteristics and the disease mortality. Use the odds ratios in Table 3 for your interpretation.
