Let's now move our attention to the last 39 data indicators in the lower part of the correlation semi-matrix where the Chronic Disease Death Rates and other Public Health-Related factor correlations are displayed. From the plot, it can be seen that there are multiple significant and consistent correlations that can be found mainly for Confirmed Case Speed measurements. For example, such indicators as Skin Cancer (91.7% 5-year survival rate [14] ), Prostate Cancer (98.6% 5-year survival rate [14] ), Ovary Cancer (46.5% 5-year survival rate [14] ), Breast Cancer (89.7% 5-year survival rate [14] ), and Bladder Cancer (77.3% 5-year survival rate [14] ) Death Rates were found to be significantly positively correlated with the COVID-19 Spread Speed.
