423— The Relationship Between Social Inequality and COVID-19 Morbidity and Mortality

This poster will analyze World Bank and World Health Organization data to examine the relationship between inequality and COVID-19 morbidity and mortality globally. The analyzed data includes, the total number of COVID-19 cases, COVID-19 deaths, percentage of total cases per population size, and the Gini coefficient (the measure of income inequality) for each country. This poster will present graphs comparing the percentage of COVID-19 cases and COVID-19 deaths per a country’s population in relationship to their Gini coefficient to explore the relationship between inequality and the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic in nation-states.
