According analysis, it was proved are both higher richer states. Poorer states did considerably well keeping mortality low compared their affluent counterparts. positive does not go away even after controlling caseloads used proxy spread pandemic. This augmented model explains 80% India. After caseloads, thousand Rupees increase contributed 15 additional population. article development measured income) COVID-19, them potentially adverse on human immunity, if density, living conditions, food security moderate relationship.
