The coronavirus started in China in 2019, has spread rapidly in every single country and has spread in millions of cases worldwide. This paper presents a proposed approach that involves identifying the relative impact of COVID-19 on a specific gender, the mortality rate in specific age, investigating different safety measures adopted by each country and their impact on the virus growth rate. Our study proposes data-driven analysis and prediction modeling by investigating three aspects of the pandemic (gender of patients, global growth rate, and social distancing). Several machine learning and ensemble models have been used and compared to obtain the best accuracy. Experiments have been demonstrated on three large public datasets. The motivation of this study is to propose an analytical machine learning based model to explore three significant aspects of COVID-19 pandemic as gender, global growth rate, and social distancing. The proposed analytical model includes classic classifiers, distinctive ensemble methods such as bagging, feature based ensemble, voting and stacking. The results show a superior prediction performance comparing with the related approaches.

A novel coronavirus (CoV) includes new species of coronavirus that was discovered in 2019 and has not been previously identified in humans. The 2019 novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic appeared in Wuhan, China in December 2019 and has become a serious public health problem worldwide. This virus is linked to a large seafood and animal market and spreads from animal to human. It causes an outbreak of respiratory illness and symptoms that would be seen at least 15 days later. It is still spreading widely, and also new variants or strains are discovered occasionally. It can easily spread person to person. At this time, it's unclear how easily or sustainably this virus is spreading between people as various researches are periodically observing different behaviors of the virus. Previous investigations have shown that the SARS-CoV virus is passed on from musk cats to humans, and the MERS-CoV virus is relayed from dromedary camels to humans. COVID-19 virus is being presumed to be transmitted from bats to humans.Rapid respiratory transmission of the disease is one of the major reasons for the spread of this pandemic. Signs of infection include respiratory symptoms, fever, cough, and dyspnea. In more serious cases, the infection can cause pneumonia, severe acute respiratory syndrome, septic shock, multi-organ failure, and death. It has been also determined that men are more infected than women and it is severely affecting the adult age group with known chronic diseases. People have been advised to take preventive measures li...
