2019年冠状病毒病(新冠肺炎)继续产生持续的大流行威胁，病毒病原体(SARS-CoV-2)的新突变造成社会经济问题。其中一个根本问题是评估各国应对新冠肺炎大流行危机的准备情况，以发现和支持与降低死亡率和增加社会疫苗接种量相关的因素。这项研究通过开发两个基本指数来应对这个问题，这两个指数衡量了各国面对大流行威胁的表现。特别是，指数r(作为复原力)检测在减少与新冠肺炎大流行有关的死亡率的负面影响方面表现最好的国家，指数p(作为准备和预防)评估表现最好的国家支持新冠肺炎疫苗接种，以限制未来的大流行威胁，并支持社会经济系统的恢复。复原力指数是基于与新冠肺炎有关的三个指标的综合衡量，由每10万人的平均死亡率、医院占有率和重症监护病房占有率给出，得出总分；准备/预防指数是与新冠肺炎疫苗接种有关的两个指标(即，接种的疫苗剂量和每10万人的疫苗接种总数)的综合衡量，也产生表现的总分。将这些指数应用于欧洲国家的案例研究，表明了各国应对重大流行病威胁的战略定位。欧洲国家的社会经济区域是同质的。调查结果显示，所有国家都有一些弱点，没有一个国家对应对重大流行病或大流行有高度的准备。此外，结果表明，在应对新冠肺炎大流行危机方面表现最好的国家人口规模较小，和/或公共治理较好，卫生系统支出较高。这些指数可以帮助政策制定者设计有效的战略，以改进各国应对未来大流行威胁的准备和预防。
The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) continues to generate a constant pandemic threat with new mutations of the viral agent (SARS-CoV-2) that create socioeconomic issues. One of the fundamental problems is the evaluation of the preparedness of countries to cope with COVID-19 pandemic crisis to detect and support factors associated with the reduction of mortality and the growth of vaccinations in society. The study here confronts this problem by developing two basic indexes, which measure the performance of countries to face pandemic threats. In particular, the Index r (as resilience) detects the countries having the best performance in the reduction of the negative impact of mortality related to COVID-19 pandemic and the Index p (as preparedness and prevention) assesses best-performer countries to support COVID-19 vaccinations in order to constrain future pandemic threats and support the recovery of socioeconomic systems. Index of resilience is a composite measure based on three indicators associated with COVID-19, given by average mortality, hospital occupancy and Intensive Care Units occupancy per 100 000 people, producing an overall score; Index of preparedness/prevention is a composite measure of two indicators related to COVID-19 vaccinations (i.e., doses of vaccines administered and total vaccinates per 100 000 people), producing also an overall score of performance. The application of these indexes on a case study of European countries, having a homogenous socioeconomic area, shows the strategic positioning of countries to cope with a major pandemic threat. Findings reveal that all countries have some weaknesses and no country has a high preparedness to cope with a major epidemic or pandemic. Moreover, results suggest that best-performer countries to cope with COVID-19 pandemic crisis have a smaller size of population and/or better public governance, associated with high expenditures in health system. These indexes can help policymakers for designing effective strategies to improve preparedness and prevention of countries to face future pandemic threats.
