Adjusted for county-level percent female, 65+ years, uninsured, mean household size, urbanicity, air quality, health outcome quartile (to account for underlying health status), total physicians and hospital beds per capita, presence of a stay-at-home policy, number of days from the first county-reported COVID-19 case, and state fixed effects
P < 0.01 was considered to be statistically significant to account for multiple comparisons
