| Abstract: |
In this paper it is shown that more crowded cities did not exacerbate the
Covid-19 pandemic. Reports from Turkey constitutes evidence that the Gibrat’s
Law holds and the infection grows among population in proportion to the city
sizes. Covid-19 cases are lognormally distributed throughout the country.
While the 0-19 age group of the society is associated with a negative impact
on the reported cases, 40-59 group has the most additive effect. Distribution
of the reported deaths from Covid-19 does not grow in proportion to the city
size, and may well be approximated by both exponential and normal
distributions. |
