RAPID RESPONSE:


HOW FATAL IS COVID-19 COMPARED WITH SEASONAL INFLUENZA? THE DEVIL IS IN THE
DETAIL.




Dear Editor

Accurate assessment of the chance of death following exposure to covid-19 is
important, since this statistic has been used by governments to direct lockdowns
in an effort to mitigate these deaths. In correspondence to the BMJ, professors
Baker and Wilson, both proponents of New Zealand’s lockdown, have criticised our
assertion that the infection fatality proportion (IFP) of covid-19 is similar to
seasonal influenza.[1] They claim that the IFP for influenza is 0.039%, about
six times lower than the IFP for covid-19 we cited, a corrected median value of
0.23%.[2]

Clearly, mortality is age-stratified from covid-19. The corrected median
estimates of IFP for people aged lower than 70 years is currently 0.05%, [2]
which, for the population less vulnerable to deaths, is similar to influenza.
However overall estimates for covid-19 are higher, due to the higher fatality
rate in elderly people.

Here, we explore in more detail the assessment of the IFP for the two viruses
and focus on four issues we believe are important:

1. Modelled COVID-19 death has been overestimated
Early in the course of covid-19, the all-age IFP was high, estimated at 0.66%
(credible interval: 0.39 to 1.33%).[3] This led to alarming projections of
covid-19 deaths, if the infection was left to spread. These IFPs were obtained
by adjusting case-fatality proportions by the proportions of returnees testing
positive from repatriation flights from Wuhan. This led to 250,000 deaths
overall being predicted for the UK,[4] justifying lockdowns. Yet observed
fatalities in the UK now show that these models overestimated deaths by seven
times.[5] Similar models in New Zealand predicted 80,000 deaths from the
pandemic if severe lockdowns were not enacted.[6] Barnard et al. estimated
between 12,600 and 33,600 deaths based on a ‘case-fatality ratio’ of 0.75% and
2% respectively— even with lockdowns.[7] We now know that these projections were
too high, and that lockdowns are of questionable value for reducing per capita
mortality.[8]

2. Estimates of IFP
For different diseases, the IFP is estimated in varying ways. For covid-19, it
is the ratio of the cumulative count of clinically assigned covid-19 deaths to
the number of infected people. Frequently, the number of infected people is
estimated by the product of the prevalence of antibody positive cases and the
population count. The prevalence of seropositive subjects is assumed to equate
to a cumulative assessment of viral infections.

Baker and Wilson’s estimate for influenza is derived somewhat differently. The
IFP for influenza is derived from a modelled annual influenza mortality rate,[9]
divided by the influenza seropositive prevalence.[10] This is unlike that for
covid-19. For this disease, deaths have been attributed individually based on
mass testing carried out on an unprecedented scale for any respiratory disease.
While on the face of it this should increase confidence in case numbers, history
suggests this new testing regime, with sharpened focus on covid-19, is likely to
overestimate mortality, as we will discuss.

3. Death ascertainment
New pandemics are often associated with biased changes to cause of death coding.
For example, in the US in 1968-69, where doctors were aware of an impending
influenza A (H3N2) winter, the number of deaths coded as influenza in the summer
of 1968 increased sixteen-fold when compared with the summers in the years
before and after the pandemic.[11] Yet no significant circulation of influenza
was thought to have occurred during that summer. Due to this inaccurate death
certificate recording for influenza, the authors statistically estimated these
deaths, independent of death records, as has the data referred to by Baker and
Wilson.

We see similar evidence for over counting of deaths in countries with high IFPs
for covid-19. A notable example was England where it was impossible to recover
from covid-19 once an individual had tested positive.[12] Reports from Italy
have shown a similar bias in favour of covid-19 death early in that pandemic.
After formal review of apparent covid-19 deaths only 12% of the previous figures
were directly attributable to the new virus.[13]

Evidence for lower mortality comes from countries that have many covid-19 cases
yet few deaths. At the time of writing, Singapore had 57,883 recovered cases and
28 deaths, yielding a case-fatality proportion of 0.05%. We believe, because of
Singapore’s adherence to the case definition when assigning covid-19 deaths,[14]
its numbers more reliably assess mortality, and illuminate the bias present
elsewhere. Further, the denominator is large, likely due to aggressive testing.
If serology were estimated, the IFP of this city state would likely be lower
still.

4. Infection prevalence
As well as bias in the numerator, the denominator in covid-19 IFP calculations
is likely to be lower than true infection counts, because positive antibody
responses wane faster than for influenza.[15 16] This leads to underestimation
of cumulative infection and consequently an overestimation of the IFP.
Supporting evidence comes from levels of positive antibody tests halving after
two months in a cohort of exposed health care workers from Nashville.[17] In
contrast, high levels of influenza antibodies have been documented up to 28
weeks after vaccination in healthy adults in Maryland.[16] Further, evidence of
exposure to covid-19 may be only detectable in specific T-cells (reactive to
spike glycoproteins), rather than in antibodies alone.[18]

Other support for a low IFP for covid-19 come from studies which track serial
antibody tests within individuals. For example, an eightfold increase in
positive antibody prevalence in Tokyo occurred during summer, rising from 5.8%
to 46.8%, yet little increase in fatality from the virus occurred.[19]

So, what is a reasonable IFP for covid-19? The overall corrected median IFP from
61 studies in a meta-analysis is 0.23%.[2] This agrees with a population
serosurvey in Indiana.[20] These studies consider only seropositivity as an
indicator of cumulative exposure to the virus. They have also assumed cause of
death figures are accurate. So, once these factors have been considered, we
believe that our comparison with seasonal influenza is not misleading. Since
models that have incorporated higher IFPs have led to economically crippling
lockdowns,[21] we believe scrutiny of these comparisons are vital and a
reappraisal of the covid-19 IFP is overdue.
