ABSTRACT
The Coronavirus had been viral and heavily influenced daily lives for more than two years. Two popular procedures to combat the pandemic were general vaccine implantation and limited social contact. We evaluated the effectiveness of these procedures by exploring the trends of vaccination rate, public mobility, and case/death rate at the county level in the mainland United States overtime during 2021. In addition, we investigated how demographic variables such as education and income hindered or promoted vaccination and social contact at the county level. We tested the associations between vaccination rate, public mobility, demographics, and case/death rate using Spearman Correlation tests, Student t-tests, and linear regression. Our findings provide domestic statistical feedback to the anti-epidemic policies and help public health officials make informed decisions in the future.
