ABSTRACT:
COVID -19 have affected over 200 million and killed about 5 million people globally. Many steps have been taken to understand its dynamics, etiology and infectivity. Several approach have also been taken to control and manage the virus, while vaccines have been developed to prevent the rate of infectivity. Because of complete lack of knowledge of the virus, shortage in vaccine supply etc, understanding how the virus spread per country may determine relativity in vaccine emergency. The aim of this study is to determine the relative global consequences of cumulative distribution of Covid-19, using the USA as comparism factor and cumulative covid -19 data of 31st October 2021. Data from one hundred and fifty four countries were selected based on their continents, countries and cases of infection. Data were obtained from United Nations Geoscheme and WHO. They were analyzed and compared to that of the United State of America (USA) value. Data analyzed showed that most Africa countries are least to be affected while Americans and Europeans appear to be most affected. Result from the study shows that Africa may have develop mechanisms to cope and survive the virus pandemic compared to other region of the world. Hence, vaccine priority may be considered base on infectivity and severity of infection.
