Notes:               The World Pandemic Uncertainty Index is constructed by counting the
                     number of times uncertainty is mentioned within a proximity to a word
                     related to pandemics in the Economist Intelligence Unit country
                     reports. Specifically, the index is the percent of the word
                     "uncertain", and its variants, that appear near the pandemic terms in
                     EIU country reports, multiplied by 1,000. A higher number means higher
                     uncertainty related to pandemics and vice versa.
