What is it about?
This paper used Our World data for coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) death count, test data, stringency, and transmission count and prepared a path model for COVID-19 deaths. We augmented the model with age structure-related variables and comorbidity via non-communicable diseases for 117 countries of the world for September 23, 2021, on a cross-section basis.

Why is it important?
It is the first research that uses path analysis to determine the COVID-19 mortality across countries. We have found that both old age and comorbidity play an essential role in this process.
Perspectives
We have developed a transmission model, and here we have extended it for mortality.
