Is the Coronavirus as Deadly as They Say?

Current estimates about the Covid-19 fatality rate may be too high by orders of magnitude.

If it’s true that the novel coronavirus would kill millions without shelter-in-place orders and quarantines, then the extraordinary measures being carried out in cities and states around the country are surely justified. But there’s little evidence to confirm that premise—and projections of the death toll could plausibly be orders of magnitude too high.

Fear of Covid-19 is based on its high estimated case fatality rate—2% to 4% of people with confirmed Covid-19 have died, according to the World Health Organization and others. So if 100 million Americans ultimately get the disease, two million to four million could die. We believe that estimate is deeply flawed. The true fatality rate is the portion of those infected who die, not the deaths from identified positive cases.

Why the Coronavirus Relief Bill Stalled

The latter rate is misleading because of selection bias in testing. The degree of bias is uncertain because available data are limited. But it could make the difference between an epidemic that kills 20,000 and one that kills two million. If the number of actual infections is much larger than the number of cases—orders of magnitude larger—then the true fatality rate is much lower as well. That’s not only plausible but likely based on what we know so far.

Population samples from China, Italy, Iceland and the U.S. provide relevant evidence. On or around Jan. 31, countries sent planes to evacuate citizens from Wuhan, China. When those planes landed, the passengers were tested for Covid-19 and quarantined. After 14 days, the percentage who tested positive was 0.9%. If this was the prevalence in the greater Wuhan area on Jan. 31, then, with a population of about 20 million, greater Wuhan had 178,000 infections, about 30-fold more than the number of reported cases. The fatality rate, then, would be at least 10-fold lower than estimates based on reported cases.

Next, the northeastern Italian town of Vò, near the provincial capital of Padua. On March 6, all 3,300 people of Vò were tested, and 90 were positive, a prevalence of 2.7%. Applying that prevalence to the whole province (population 955,000), which had 198 reported cases, suggests there were actually 26,000 infections at that time. That’s more than 130-fold the number of actual reported cases. Since Italy’s case fatality rate of 8% is estimated using the confirmed cases, the real fatality rate could in fact be closer to 0.06%.

In Iceland, deCode Genetics is working with the government to perform widespread testing. In a sample of nearly 2,000 entirely asymptomatic people, researchers estimated disease prevalence of just over 1%. Iceland’s first case was reported on Feb. 28, weeks behind the U.S. It’s plausible that the proportion of the U.S. population that has been infected is double, triple or even 10 times as high as the estimates from Iceland. That also implies a dramatically lower fatality rate.

The best (albeit very weak) evidence in the U.S. comes from the National Basketball Association. Between March 11 and 19, a substantial number of NBA players and teams received testing. By March 19, 10 out of 450 rostered players were positive. Since not everyone was tested, that represents a lower bound on the prevalence of 2.2%. The NBA isn’t a representative population, and contact among players might have facilitated transmission. But if we extend that lower-bound assumption to cities with NBA teams (population 45 million), we get at least 990,000 infections in the U.S. The number of cases reported on March 19 in the U.S. was 13,677, more than 72-fold lower. These numbers imply a fatality rate from Covid-19 orders of magnitude smaller than it appears.

How can we reconcile these estimates with the epidemiological models? First, the test used to identify cases doesn’t catch people who were infected and recovered. Second, testing rates were woefully low for a long time and typically reserved for the severely ill. Together, these facts imply that the confirmed cases are likely orders of magnitude less than the true number of infections. Epidemiological modelers haven’t adequately adapted their estimates to account for these factors.

The epidemic started in China sometime in November or December. The first confirmed U.S. cases included a person who traveled from Wuhan on Jan. 15, and it is likely that the virus entered before that: Tens of thousands of people traveled from Wuhan to the U.S. in December. Existing evidence suggests that the virus is highly transmissible and that the number of infections doubles roughly every three days. An epidemic seed on Jan. 1 implies that by March 9 about six million people in the U.S. would have been infected. As of March 23, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there were 499 Covid-19 deaths in the U.S. If our surmise of six million cases is accurate, that’s a mortality rate of 0.01%, assuming a two week lag between infection and death. This is one-tenth of the flu mortality rate of 0.1%. Such a low death rate would be cause for optimism.

This does not make Covid-19 a nonissue. The daily reports from Italy and across the U.S. show real struggles and overwhelmed health systems. But a 20,000- or 40,000-death epidemic is a far less severe problem than one that kills two million. Given the enormous consequences of decisions around Covid-19 response, getting clear data to guide decisions now is critical. We don’t know the true infection rate in the U.S. Antibody testing of representative samples to measure disease prevalence (including the recovered) is crucial. Nearly every day a new lab gets approval for antibody testing, so population testing using this technology is now feasible.

If we’re right about the limited scale of the epidemic, then measures focused on older populations and hospitals are sensible. Elective procedures will need to be rescheduled. Hospital resources will need to be reallocated to care for critically ill patients. Triage will need to improve. And policy makers will need to focus on reducing risks for older adults and people with underlying medical conditions.

A universal quarantine may not be worth the costs it imposes on the economy, community and individual mental and physical health. We should undertake immediate steps to evaluate the empirical basis of the current lockdowns.

i have been saying this for days now...but i don't think this message is going to get out to the general public any time soon...for one, the media is driven by web algorithms to a great extent...so the public interest is going to push the story...and this idea of infection rates being much higher is a little too complex for the media to give much attention to...too complex for the lowest common denominator media approach...

plus, the Dems are going to push the story because it helps them...and the media will go along to some extent...

but I LOVE the stock market crash, and I LOVE the fulltime telework, so I hope the scary, but likely false, propaganda keeps getting pushed....

Interesting that their number comes out to about 0.06 - that's exactly what the guy at Johns Hopkins came up with after analyzing the cruise ship data.

It's almost like that's a better number than using the sample of 70 year old people showing up at the er coughing up blood.

it's probably somewhere between .5% and 3% in advanced countries with sufficient care resources. the problem is that even if the cfr is around .5% in those circumstances, it can be driven much much higher if there aren't sufficient care resources. that's why italy has been a disaster, and we might well see the same very very soon in spain and certain cities in the us soon.

Hospital infections are really common.

When people are old and immunocompromised, it's easier for them to catch anything.

If you died in a car accident and tested poz, that's marked as a covid death. Ditto olds with stage 4 cancer already on palliative care. It's incidental, complete flame. Performance art by the elites to laugh at the goyim scurrying while they watch from their bunkers in NZ.

if it was half that adjusted for age with sufficient care resources, it could be a very big problem without sufficient care resources. just going from memory, but the infection rate was huge, as was the rate of infect persons who needed some kind of intensive care.

what is really important to know is what percentage of INFECTED were sick enough to need to seek care...that is what I want to know...and to really start on that analysis we need to know what % of the population is infected to start with...

about 10% it looks like. given how readily the illness spreads absent controls, and limitations on medical resources at any given time, i think you can see how that could easily become a big problem right.

as i've said, that could still result in disaster (hundreds of thousands or millions dead) if we're not able to provide adequate care based on individual patient need. if memory serves, like 20% of the ill required some kind of intensive care. so what happens if half the country catches this over the next few months?

this article is arguing that the 20% figure is flame

thats the crux of the whole article

if you assume 20% of infected require some kind of hospitalization then we need to shut down for a couple of months

but the article is showing that real number of infections is like 60x of confirmed cases in which hospitalization rate is only 1% and can be easily handled except for hotspots like NYC.

basically it all comes down to this. we have 55K confirmed cases. how many were totally infected? MSM hysteria assumes only around 400K~600K were infected. this guys is saying its like 4M~6M already

how often do so many major cities end up running critically low on care resources at the same time? part of the problem presumably is that we often just don't have that much excess slack. but we've had cities that are already overrun, or appear to be on the verge of it. in just the us, we've already heard what seem to be credible reports that we're on the verge of trouble in places like nyc and detroit and new orleans.

if iceland which doesn't have as much traffic to china as US had 1% of the population infected by end of feb we should be at around 2% by now easy in late march. lot more seeding due to yuge number of chinese travellers in dec/jan and our first case was detected much earlier than iceland

being very conservative and assuming we have captured only 25% of covid deaths by now (maybe lot covid deaths of old ppl in jan/early feb were never tested for covid and thought of as regular flu???)

so roughly 7M cases and 3500 deaths by very conservative estimate gives us 0.05% mortality rate

iceland study is very interesting. wonder if that holds true for US

Even That broad of testing still suffers from selection bias, and crude / naive CFR calculations are always biased upwards in that regard.

eg https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-020-0822-7

Because both of your examples are extremely consistent with the lower estimates of eg 0.5-0.8% - in SK, yes they did widespread testing but there's still selection bias, ie the selection mechanism into getting tested is based on more severe cases / symptoms, - because if you're completely asymptomatic or very mild symptoms, you don't have an incentive to go get medical help like you do if you're very severe, so the testing , although much more widespread and so lower than the 3% cfr elsewhere, is still missing asymptomatic / very mild cases.

The diamond princess cruise ship - ~1% sCFR , is actually cause for optimism, because this group of people skews so overwhelmingly older on the ship, 1% is less than the estimates for CFR of eg 65+ of something like 1.4% in that paper I linked above.

All of those examples we see observationally are still biasing the CFR upwards whether due to age group of selection into testing, see eg the paper linked above or

It’s that there are many, many more people who were/are infected so the denominator is much larger. Layered onto the other issues they have, one of which is capacity.

yes basically

i think the culprit is mostly that it spread much much faster in northern italy than anywhere except maybe wuhan or NYC. basically they have an outlier R0 due to large chinese population, social customs like hugging/kissing, multiple generations living together

so R0 of italy is like 4 or 5 vs 2 everywhere. this overwhelmed their hospital capacity plus their older smoking demographic has lead to 8% death rate among confirmed cases

i wont be shocked if like 20% of population of northern italy has already been infected. NYC is heading that way

That and people can't seem to understand that Italy has a relatively large sick and dying population anyways, and even in terms of absolute deaths, it's only so overwhelming because the media is cataloguing it in such painstaking detail, when thousands of deaths could've just as easily gone unnoticed there or been attributed to bad flu season etc.

I'll try to dig it up, I saw someone on twitter post an analysis of the time series of deaths in Italy every March, and as we know an overwhelming proportion of those deaths are people with comorbidities and 80+ (literally only 3 people, 0.8%, in the study linked on bloomberg had no previous disease ,

"Almost half of the victims suffered from at least three prior illnesses and about a fourth had either one or two previous conditions.

More than 75% had high blood pressure, about 35% had diabetes and a third suffered from heart disease.")

And this analysis (i'll try to find it again) showed that Italy's deaths for March really aren't anomalous , which is a suggestion that maybe it's just moving cause of death from column A to column B, consistent with recent prevalence estimates and other analyses about how hospitals are huge vectors for these infections...

the ones in the hospital are likely those who received a heavy viral load...that's why washing hands and not touching your face is important...you may very well get the virus anyway, but as long as you wash your hands a lot and not touch your mucus membranes, the viral load will be light, meaning you don't get a bad case of it

That comports with the computer model I linked to a few days ago. 86% of Chinese cases went undetected. So fatality and hospitalization rates were actually 10x lower. When China got better with testing their detection rate went up to about 60%+ but they missed so many mild cases, especially early on, that they never had a complete picture of the total number of cases. It is still a serious and unique challenge but we are definitely acting blind in this.

Why were Chinese deaths so concentrated in Wuhan only then, if it actually spread widely all over? Same for Lombardy in Italy, NYC in US. Something real is happening in those places that doesn’t seem to be happening in the rest of their respective countries.

The China numbers really make no sense to me. How did it create so much localized death and destruction, and then just stop spreading almost completely?
