Notes:               The index of discussion about pandemics is constructed by counting the
                     number of times a word related to pandemics is mentioned in the
                     Economist Intelligence Unit country reports. Specifically, the index
                     is the percent of the words related to pandemic episodes in EIU
                     country reports, multiplied by 1,000. A higher number means higher
                     discussion about pandemics and vice versa.
