Answer 1

Covid 19 is one of the threatening pandemic seen all over the world It is started from wuhan China. Unites states become first in number of individual get affected

Prevelance means the disease condition seen in particular population at a given time

Incidence means it is new case or newly diagnosed cases in particular time.

Prevelance of corona in United States

Total number of cases from March to June till date is 24 lakhs

New cases per day is 37000

Population in United States 33 crores

Prevelance =number of cases /population

24 lakh /33crore =. 0072*100= 0.72%

0. 72% is the prevelance rate of covid in US

Incidence = 37000/330000000 =1.12 x 10^-4 %

Morbidity Rate Calculation is the number of new cases in the time period divided by the number of people in the specified population x 100.

37000/330000000x100= 1.12x 10 ^-4 %

Mortality is the number of deaths that occur in a population.

5 lakh /330000000= 0. 0015 x100= 0.15 %
