• TITLE: The Link between Humidity and COVID-19 Caused Death

  AUTHORS: Katherine Li

  KEYWORDS: COVID-19, Mortality, Humidity

  JOURNAL NAME: Journal of Biosciences and Medicines, Vol.8 No.6, May 26, 2020

  ABSTRACT: Objective: The objectives were to understand the relationship between humidity and COVID-19 fatality and to provide clues for improving COVID-19 patient survival rate. Methods: Humidity data and confirmed COVID-19 death cases for all fifty US states and Washington DC were collected and analyzed, and the relationship between humidity and COVID-19 mortality was derived. Results: There is a positive correlation between humidity and COVID-19 patient fatality. Conclusion: COVID-19 mortality directly and positively correlates with the humidity of the environment the COVID-19 virus experiences. Such correlation could be used to reduce COVID-19 patient fatality and save lives.
