More democratic countries are often expected to fail at providing a fast, strong, and effective response when facing a crisis such as COVID-19. This could result in higher infections and more negative health effects, but hard evidence to prove this claim is missing for the new disease. Studying the association with five different democracy measures, this study shows that while the infection rates of the disease do indeed appear to be higher for more democratic countries so far, their observed case fatality rates are lower. There is also a negative association between case fatality rates and government attempts to censor media. However, such censorship relates positively to the infection rate.

民主和 COVID-19 结果
在面对 COVID-19 等危机时，人们往往预计更多民主国家将无法提供快速、强有力和有效的应对措施。这可能会导致更高的感染率和更多的负面健康影响，但这种新疾病缺乏确凿的证据来证明这一说法。通过研究与五种不同民主措施的关联，这项研究表明，尽管迄今为止，民主程度更高的国家的疾病感染率确实更高，但观察到的病死率却更低。病死率与政府审查媒体的尝试之间也存在负相关。然而，这种审查与感染率呈正相关。
