Abstract

The work makes a comparative analysis on the economic and health impact of the covid19 pandemic in Argentina and the world. Regardless of the indicators used (GDP, confinement, deaths and vaccinations), Argentina was in the worst quadrant along with Panama and Peru, being in the four indicators in the most unfavorable scenarios. Other countries, such as Iraq, Bahamas and Colombia were placed in two, while Spain, Chile and Great Britain were placed in only one category. Argentina has been one of the countries with the worst treatment of the coronavirus crisis in the world according to the variables used.
