[2] COVID-19 infection and mortality tracking in the US and around the world

This section analyzes COVID infections and mortality reported to local, federal and intergovernmental agencies, and are heavily influenced by testing rates and differences in government reporting standards and capabilities. As we explain in Section 5, serology tests suggest that the true number of COVID infections may be 10x-20x higher than the number of reported infections. However, trends in reported infections are still important to monitor, since they influence government policy and the behavior of citizens and companies.

Comments on Africa data. In part 7, several countries show up with almost no COVID outbreak reported. In cases like New Zealand, Taiwan, Japan, Vietnam and South Korea, we interpret the lack of a material outbreak as possible based on the quality of data reporting and testing taking place. Other countries which report practically no material incidence of COVID include Nigeria, Kenya, Angola, DR Congo, Tanzania and Mozambique. According to various news reports1, there‘s a shortage of reliable data in many of these countries, and the lack of funds to carry out broad scale testing. On the other hand, while infections can be obscured, it’s harder to obscure a sharp rise in mortality; even when accounting for some under-reporting of deaths, Africa mortality rates are still much lower than expected. The few antibody surveys conducted in Africa reveal COVID prevalence that is similar to other European countries; in other words, COVID is spreading in Africa as it is elsewhere. The most likely explanation for lower relative mortality is age: Africa’s median age is 18, compared to 35 in North America and 42 in Europe. Since those over age 65 experience 80 % of COVID mortality, age distributions are the most likely reason for lower African COVID mortality rates.

Additional supplementary materials are available upon request: COVID mortality distributions and probabilities by age bracket and US state, COVID mortality per mm vs Case Fatality Rates by country and US state, and COVID infections by age group by US state.

On data sources. We generally use infection and mortality data from Johns Hopkins, with any exceptions noted in chart sources. While JHU data usually match sources such as covidtracking.com and Worldometers, this is not always the case. Any large differences usually work themselves out over time; even so, such differences are a warning against over-extrapolating any short term trends seen in the data. There are also patterns in some countries in which tests and infections drop over the weekend, only to rise the following week.

What’s new: Northeast US, Europe, Latin America, etc

“Big Sky” US states are experiencing infection levels that are around 5x higher than adjacent Canadian provinces. The Northeastern US is now experiencing a material rise in infections as well after a very quiet summer

The US positive testing rate is rising more slowly than infections, suggesting that a rise in testing explains many new infections; the opposite is true in most of Europe, where testing only explains a small part of the spike

The increase in infections in Western Europe surpasses Spring levels; hospitalization and mortality levels are now starting to rise as well

Infections in many Latin American countries are rolling over now from very high levels

COVID at a glance: infections and mortality per mm, and the falling age of infected persons

Lower mortality rates in the developed world

Lower mortality rates in the developed world (when compared to the spring of 2020) appear to reflect the lower age of more recently infected persons, less overcrowded hospitals, and more informed standards of patient care (less unnecessary ventilation when oxygenation will suffice, and the use of steroids and blood thinners). The charts below show shifting COVID patient age levels for the US and Switzerland. In Section 4, see pages 6-7 for a discussion of the empirically measured benefits of steroids like dexamethasone and of anti-coagulants and other blood thinners.

US hotspot infection, hospitalization and mortality tracking2

The charts below track infection, hospitalization, testing, mortality and doctor visit data for the US in aggregate and for US infection hotspots. See section 6 for a state-by-state chartpack which covers the full range of infection, mortality, hospitalization, testing and hospital utilization data.

2 We dynamically define hotspot states in three ways: the largest one-month increase in new daily infections per mm people, the highest levels of infection and the highest rates of positive PCR testing. If a state shows up as top 7 on any of these 3 metrics, they are included as a hotspot.

Why aren’t US infections declining more rapidly?

The US does not have internal border controls; as a result, focusing too much on infections at the state level ignores the ease with which US citizens cross state lines. As shown below, former Hotspot states have now transmitted the infection to new Hotspot states.

Source: JHU, JPMAM. November 9, 2020.

Country level infection, hospitalization and mortality trends

This section contains infection, hospitalization and mortality trends for the 68 countries that are among the Top 50 Countries by GDP, or among the Top 50 Countries by Population. The country charts appear in descending order of GDP, and are all scaled relative to Europe for comparability purposes. Note that high frequency hospitalization data is only available for a subset of the countries below.
