A Study of Covid-19 Relative Fatalities by Religion and a Possible Quranic Allusion

ABSTRACT More than three years statistics of the Covid-19 pandemic shows great anomalies in relative fatalities of different countries. In particular, Christian and Jewish populations show, by a factor of 4 to 5, greater relative fatalities compared to the Muslim populations. Ironically, most Muslim populations are developing or underdeveloped, deprived of health services available to the mostly-developed Christian and Jewish populations. This article presents an analysis of the pandemic’s relative fatalities for the Abrahamic religion populations. Factors that might be contributing to the fatalities such as, development status, median ages, and alcohol consumption rates will also be discussed in this study. A possible relevance to a Quranic content will be noted in the end.pandemi
