The subject of this thesis is the pandemic that we have all been experiencing in recent
months, known to all of us as covid19. It is certain that this pandemic will have dramatic
effects (among many others) on the life expectancy of a population. In addition, these
effects differ from one country to another, depending on the spread of the pandemic, and
they are more pronounced for older people.
This thesis will focus on the evolution of the pandemic, during its first year, in
Mediterranean countries, using the abundance of statistical data available, with the
following aims:
(a) initially to look back at the pandemics that scarred the human population around the
world in previous years,
(b) to report the development of the pandemic, the response measures against the
coronavirus in each Mediterranean country under study,
(c) to calculate the mortality rates for the various Mediterranean countries and to study
the excess mortality in these countries,
(d) to compare the development of cases and deaths, with respect to age for Mediterranean
countries and
(e) implement a generalised linear model for excess mortality
