Note: Each column reports the results of a linear regression in which the dependent variable is either the natural log of the cumulative number of COVID-19 cases or deaths divided by population on March 31, 2021(plus 0.001 for cases or 0.00001 for deaths to include counties that have no COVID-19 cases). Regressions also include state fixed effects.
