Check all that apply Group of answer choices Vaccination rates are significantly lower in developing countries, suggesting that the situation will likely worsen for developing countries relative to developed countries over time Because developing countries have younger populations, the mortality rates from COVID are higher than they are for developed countries with larger old-age populations Even though more people live in developed countries, there are higher country-by-country mortality rates in developing countries More people live in developing countries, meaning that even though mortality rates by country may be lower, developing countries are still contributing a majority of global deaths due to the disease Reported deaths from COVID in the poorest countries are very low despite evidence of significant increases in mortality since the pandemic began
