Abstract
This study sought to classify and assign the 93 counties in Nebraska into distinctive spatial-temporal clusters based on their trends in the number of COVID-19 confirmed cases and deaths. A secondary goal of this study was to assess the potential role of preexisting sociodemographic, environmental, and health conditions in determining the county’s resilience and susceptibility to 2019-nCov. Spatial-temporal cluster analysis yielded three distinct confirmed cases and death clusters. Results from spatial-temporal cluster and regression analyses suggested that COVID-19 and HIV and obesity prevention should be integrated. Emergency response planning and mitigation should focus on counties characterized by noticeable increases in the number of COVID-19 confirmed cases and deaths and/or counties with relatively high population and ethnic minorities.

什么会影响内布拉斯加州一个县对冠状病毒的恢复力和易感性?
摘要
本研究试图根据 COVID-19 确诊病例和死亡人数的趋势,将内布拉斯加州的 93 个县分类并分配到不同的时空集群中。本研究的第二个目标是评估先前存在的社会人口、环境和健康状况在确定该县对 2019-nCov 的恢复力和易感性方面的潜在作用。时空聚类分析产生了三个不同的确诊病例和死亡聚类。时空聚类和回归分析的结果表明,应将 COVID-19 与 HIV 和肥胖预防结合起来。应急响应计划和缓解措施应侧重于 COVID-19 确诊病例和死亡人数显着增加的县和/或人口和少数民族相对较多的县。
