Implications of Changing Number of COVID-19 Non-Infected Persons in A Population

1. Abstract

COVID-19 epidemic spread all over the world, with vigil on infection rate and infected persons. This brings out issues of shrinking numbers of not affected population coupled with the notion of herd immunity acquired through infection. Thus, this research focuses on decreasing number of people not-affected by COVID-19 through analyzing an international database, on a monthly basis calculating absolute number and monthly changes for 21 Arab countries and 21 other American, European and Asian countries. The less populated Gulf Cooperation Council countries; 15 other Arab countries; and 21 other countries have shown not only different patterns of decrease in non-infected persons but also trends of decrease. Arab countries have their own disciplines, even though diverse, which could be explored to implement strategies in a very sensitive manner. On the other hand, American, European, and Asian countries have different types of people and different ways of coordination, thus only country specific policies and actions are beneficial. Overall, few countries uphold the values of protecting people from infection, Saudi Arabia stand on the top of the list, others are losing control. Greater efforts of demographic analyses shall strengthen strategies to protect people from being infected ensuring healthy life expectancy.
