Hypothesis
Fewer COVID-19 deaths in a country are associated with stronger exclusionary attitudes.
Note
This is explained by suggesting that stronger exclusionary attitudes resulted in fewer deaths. The 95% confidence interval suggests that this relationship exists (ρ = −0.62, 95% confidence interval = −0.83 to −0.26).
