“…In the case of the last country of the top ten most affected list (Russia), the lowest CFR value (0.09%) along with the low RR value (8.11 %), is drawing the attention. The low CFR value of Russia has also previously been reported by Jouzdani (Jouzdani, 2020). In another study by Yuan et al on April 9, 2020, which was based on the statistical analysis of the daily reports of confirmed cases, Russia was introduced as a country in which no clear perspective coulds be deemed about the state of its COVID-19 control (Yuan, Di, Gu, Qian, & Qian, 2020).…”

Although it seems that the COVID-19 is not as fatal as SARS and MERS, its highly contagious nature have made it a more serious health concern. This new pandemic has affected all aspects of human life, and due to the vast diversity in the nations around the world, it is not possible to adopt a single integrated policy aginst the disease. It is deemed that the outbreak of the COVID-19 potentially can affect the geopolitical dynamics of the world. Thus, considering the unique context of the Middle East, and its impact on many other countries, here we tried to compare the case fatality rate (CFR), the disease rate (DR), and the crude death rate (CDR) for all the countries located in this region with the top-ten most affected until April 25, 2020. Special attention was also paid to discuss the data obtained in our study with the existing literature. We aimed to explain the effect of significant cultural and ideological differences, the enormous differences among the health systems of the countries, and the efficacy of the governmental mitigation policies on the variability of the epidemiological factors among the 25 countries included in our list. Speed of action in disease control and high level of testing in Germany, a sizable population of homeless people in the U.S., the concurrencey of Influenza A, Influenza B, and the COVID-19 in France, a relatively low hospital capacity in the U.K., the numerous mass demonstrations in Spain, the effect of tough sanctions against Iran, the high number of tourists traveling to Turkey, the coincidence of Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) and COVID-19 in Saudi Arabia, the complicated military dominance in Egypt, as well as the effect of religious mass gathering in the Muslim countries were some factors which helped us to explain our results.

“…The some of the patients have been found to be stronger in sense of immune system for whatever timeframe that the symptoms continue onward and even on the clinical recovery of patients. The infection can stay reasonable on surfaces for a considerable length of time in favorable climatic conditions yet are decimated in under a moment by basic disinfectants like sodium hypochlorite, hydrogen peroxide, and so forth (Grech, 2020;Jouzdani, 2020;Saadat et al, 2020). The disease has been found to be acquired either by the internal breath of these dots or reaching surfaces polluted by them and a short time later reaching the mouth, nose and eyes.…”

Due to modernization and industrialization the whole world population is under the threat of new diseases. With the passage of every day even every moment the diseases are taking the world by large. Recently, there is a new public health issue which started from China and has raised the eyebrow of the whole world population. The reversal and modified coronavirus, known as novel coronavirus leading to acute Respiratory syndrome coronavirus, (SAR-CoV-2) is causing deaths throughout the world. This Virus has been originated and usually found in bats with an ability to be transmitted to humans or animals through various unknown intermediate vectors from Wuhan, The Hubei Province of China ( December 2019). This virus has been named as COVID-19, which spread through inhalation or even through contacting with the infected person. The survival and the incubation period of this virus have been found to be ranged from 2-14days. Most one of the three people suffering are found to be asymptomatic, act as carrier and they are source of transmitting it to the healthy people. The disease has been found to be remained mild in most of the people with symptoms which are usually in the form of cough, fever, fatigue, sore throat, malaise, breathlessness lack of taste and among others, it may lead to pneumonia, multi-organ dysfunction and severe respiratory disorders, the fatality rate is 2-3%. It can be diagnosed by respiratory secretion through molecular test. The tomographic scan of chest has been found abnormal in most of cases, even among those patients who have been suffered with mild or no symptoms. Antiviral agents are being used in treating the disease due to lack of solid medicine in the market. It has been recommended to isolate the person with mild, severe of chronic symptoms and to take possible precautionary measures as the virus spread faster than its two previous strains as SAR CoV and Middle East Respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MER-CoV) which had low fatality rate.

“…On the other hand, SK had managed to decrease fatality rates and increased recovery rates, with only 256 deaths and 9,484 recoveries. A country with a high case of Fatality Rate (CFR) and a Low Case of Recovery Rate (CRR) are the ones that should be monitored and aided [9]. The variations might be due to the approach of each country to the pandemic.…”

The Novel Coronavirus has been affecting several regions across the globe. It is noticeable that several countries address the problem better than other nations due to social and economic factors. With this, the present study distinguished and analyzed the state of two countries, the Philippines and South Korea, in the current pandemic, in relation to their socioeconomic factors. The data was obtained from online platforms and trackers, and these were statistically analyzed using joint probability distribution, one sample t-test, confidence intervals, and normal distribution. Upon performing the calculations, the study found out that South Korea has a better situation in the pandemic compared to the Philippines, since the said country had implemented commendable measures.
