This article traces the global spread of the virus scaled to population and case fatality rates of different countries. This paper asks whether Covid-19 is especially threatening to interdependent and inter-connected liberal democracies by posing a series of related questions. First, has Covid-19 spread more quickly and proved more fatal in liberal democracies than in countries with other regime types? Second, what special challenges does Covid-19 pose for liberal democracy? Third, what repercussions could Covid-19 have for liberal democracies at the systemic level.
