Is Covid-19 equally deadly across all states?
International experience suggests that the rates of fatality on account of Covid-19 vary across the world. In this post, Jain and Chatterjee seek to estimate the fatality rate of the pandemic in India, and the extent of spatial variation across states. They find that the overall ‘Case Fatality Ratio’ – ratio of deaths to cases – is around 13-15%, and states such as Maharashtra, Gujarat, and Madhya Pradesh record higher values than other states.
