Pre-pandemic Alcohol consumption highly predicts Covid-19 mortality

Pre-pandemic (data of 2019) epidemiologic and demographic data have shown that some parameters such as cancer, Alzheimer's disease, advanced age, and alcohol intake levels are positively correlated to Covid-19 mortality, instead, birth and fertility rates are negatively correlated to Covid-19 mortality. A stepwise multiple regression analysis of the above parameters against Covid-19 mortality in 32 countries from Asia, America, Africa, and Europe has generated two main predictors of Covid-19 mortality: alcohol consumption and birth/mortality ratio. A first-order equation correlated alcohol intake to Covid-19 mortality as follows; Covid-19 mortality= 0.1057 x (liters of alcohol intake) + 0.2214 (Coefficient of determination = 0.750, F value = 38.63 , P-value = 7.64x10-7). A second equation correlated (birth rate/mortality rate) to Covid-19 mortality as follows; Covid-19 mortality= - 0.3129 x (birth rate/mortality) ratio +1.638 (coefficient of determination = 0.799, F value = 51.2, P-value = 7.09x10-8). Thus, pre-pandemic alcohol consumption is a high predictor of Covid-19 mortality that should be taken into account as a serious risk factor for future safety measures against SARS-CoV-2 infection.
