Introduction
Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a contagious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The first case was identified in Wuhan, China, in December 2019. It has since spread worldwide, leading to an ongoing pandemic that spread globally in 2020.
This is a polymedia perceptualization study of data, reported daily, of global deaths that have been attributed to COVID-19.
Note: 'Region' is used here as a generic term to mean 'State', 'Province', 'Territory'. etc.
In this study, for countries without separate regions, the Region Name is equivalent to the Country Name. The data is... Some more guff about the methods etc
Regions with NO deaths due to Covid-19 reported
Of the 331 regions tracked in this study, the following 26 are reported as having NO deaths due to Covid-19:
| Anguilla [United Kingdom] | Dominica | Falkland Islands (Malvinas) [United Kingdom] |
| Grand Princess [Canada] | Greenland [Denmark] | Jiangsu [China] |
| Laos | Macau [China] | Marshall Islands |
| Micronesia | New Caledonia [France] | Ningxia [China] |
| Northern Territory [Australia] | Northwest Territories [Canada] | Prince Edward Island [Canada] |
| Qinghai [China] | Repatriated Travellers [Canada] | Saint Helena & Ascension & Tristan da Cunha [United Kingdom] |
| Saint Kitts and Nevis | Saint Pierre and Miquelon [France] | Samoa |
| Shanxi [China] | Solomon Islands | Tibet [China] |
| Vanuatu | Vatican | |
Regions reporting deaths due to Covid-19
Because of the wildly varying ways in which this virus spread globally, and the methods exployed to attempt to control the spread within Regions has also varied, Regions have been grouped in various ways. The principle grouping is by color-coding their daily chart according to the maximum number of deaths in any one day, as follows:
Color | Max. Daily Death rate |
---|
| 1 to 10 |
| 11 to 50 |
| 51 to 100 |
| 101 to 200 |
| 201 to 500 |
| 501 to 1000 |
| 1001 to 1500 |
| 1501 to 2000 |
| 2001 to 3000 |
| 3001 & above |
