Relationships between the Global Health Security (GHS) Index and SARS-CoV-2 infection and death rates before and after adjustment for differences in detection during the pre-vaccine era. Caption: The infection rate panels illustrate cumulative infection rates after 300Â days of the first reported case in each country. The death panels illustrate cumulative deaths rates after 300Â days of the first reported death in each country. Age-standardization in panel D was conducting utilizing indirect standardization with the comparative mortality ratio approach. The blue line is a linear regression line while the shaded area is the corresponding 95%Â confidence interval
