• Content: This project will do a within-country analysis for COVID cases and the relationship with demographics, economics etc. Ideally we share the same methodology across counrtries, with sub-teams working per country.

• Datasets

  • Belgium: COVID, life tables, mortality rates, cause of death
  • France: COVID, more COVID, mortality
  • Germany: COVID
  • Italy: COVID (cases, deaths, recovered, hospitalization, intensive care, number of tests, both at the regional and national level), characteristics of COVID reported cases (age, sex, comorbidity), demographics etc..
  • Netherlands: COVID, mortality, cause of death
  • Spain: COVID
  • USA: COVID

• There is also a lot of detailed data on health, demographics, economics etc at Eurostat we should exploit.

• In general, we are looking for COVID, demographics, life tables, cause of death, economics, health care etc.

3. COVID spread and pollution relationship

• Contributors: Sofia Amaral-Garcia and Ilaria Natali.
• Content: This project will focus on the relationship between indicators of the quality of air/pollution levels and the spread of CODIV-19. The goal is to find out whether, and to what extent, pollution can act as a ‘vector’, facilitating transmission and allowing the virus to spread quickly. Ideally, the project will exploit variation in indicators of the quality of air and the number of CODIV-19 cases across regions within the same country and across European counties.”
