Course Description
Overview
Explore a comprehensive lecture examining the impact of universal TB vaccination and other policy-relevant factors on COVID-19 mortality rates across different countries. Delve into the research findings that identify three significant factors influencing patient survival probability: universal TB (BCG) vaccination, air pollution deaths, and health-related expenditure. Gain insights into how these factors affect survival probabilities by age and sex. Learn about the innovative information-theoretic inferential method used to address small sample sizes and high correlations, incorporating priors constructed from independent SARS data. Understand the importance of these findings in developing strategies to mitigate future waves of the novel coronavirus pandemic.
