Monthly excess mortality across counties in the United States during the COVID-19 pandemic, March 2020 to February 2022

Eugenio Paglino, Dielle J. Lundberg, Zhenwei Zhou, Joe A. Wasserman, Rafeya Raquib, Anneliese N. Luck, Katherine Hempstead, Jacob Bor, Samuel H. Preston, Irma T. Elo, Andrew C. Stokes

Summary: Excess mortality, a measure of the COVID-19 pandemic's impact, refers to the difference between expected and observed mortality in a specific period. To understand the most affected areas, factors contributing to the impact, and guide response efforts, it is crucial to estimate excess mortality with spatial and temporal granularity. Using a Bayesian hierarchical model trained on data from 2015 to 2019, we estimated all-cause excess mortality by county and month in the United States from March 2020 to February 2022. The results show a total of 1,179,024 excess deaths occurred during the first two years of the pandemic (634,830 in the first year and 544,194 in the second year). Excess mortality decreased in large metropolitan counties but increased in nonmetropolitan counties. Interestingly, nonmetropolitan Southern counties had the highest cumulative relative excess mortality by July 2021 despite the initial concentration of deaths in large metropolitan Northeastern counties. These findings emphasize the importance of investing in rural health as the rural impact of the pandemic grows.

COVID-19 Mortality by Race and Ethnicity in US Metropolitan and Nonmetropolitan Areas, March 2020 to February 2022

Summary: This study examines the decrease in racial and ethnic disparities in COVID-19 mortality in the US between the initial wave and the Omicron wave. The study finds that the decrease in disparities is mainly attributed to increased mortality among non-Hispanic White adults and changes in the geographic spread of the pandemic.

Summary: Malaysia has experienced three waves of COVID-19 cases, with the ongoing third wave propagated by a state election in Sabah. The direct age-standardized seroprevalence in Kuala Lumpur/Selangor was 3.0%. The second and third waves were driven by super-spreading events and different circulating lineages.

Summary: We sequenced approximately 50% of imported coronavirus disease cases in Hong Kong from March to July 2021 and identified 70 cases caused by Delta variants of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2. The genomic diversity detected in Hong Kong was similar to global diversity, suggesting the significant role of travel hubs in surveillance.

Age-Stratified Seroprevalence of SARS-CoV-2 Antibodies before and during the Vaccination Era, Japan, February 2020-March 2022

Summary: Japan has reported a relatively small number of COVID-19 cases, but the actual number of infections might be higher. A study of over 60,000 samples collected in Japan revealed that approximately 3.8% of the population had tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 antibodies by January 2021. The seroprevalence increased with vaccination, but among the elderly, it was not as high as the vaccination rate. Children, who were not eligible for vaccination, were infected during the epidemic waves caused by SARS-CoV-2 Delta and Omicron variants. However, seroprevalence for unvaccinated children under 5 years old was as low as 10% as of March 2022. The study highlights the low incidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection in Japan and the impact of vaccination on population immunity.

Racial/Ethnic Disparities In COVID-19 Exposure Risk, Testing, And Cases At The Subcounty Level In California

Marissa B. Reitsma, Anneke L. Claypool, Jason Vargo, Priya B. Shete, Ryan McCorvie, William H. Wheeler, David A. Rocha, Jennifer F. Myers, Erin L. Murray, Brooke Bregman, Deniz M. Dominguez, Alyssa D. Nguyen, Charsey Porse, Curtis L. Fritz, Seema Jain, James P. Watt, Joshua A. Salomon, Jeremy D. Goldhaber-Fiebert

Summary: Research in California has shown that Latino populations are more likely than other racial/ethnic minorities to live in high-exposure-risk households, have higher cumulative cases, and lower testing rates. Subcounty disparity analyses can help inform targeted interventions, such as community testing and vaccine access measures, to address these disparities.

Characterizing Areas with Increased Burden of West Nile Virus Disease in California, 2009-2018

Mary E. Danforth, Marc Fischer, Robert E. Snyder, Nicole P. Lindsey, Stacey W. Martin, Vicki L. Kramer

Summary: This study identified eleven high-burden ZIP code areas in nine counties within southern California and California's Central Valley, despite these areas only making up 2% of California's area and 17% of the state's population. These high-burden ZIP codes accounted for 44% of reported WNV cases and had a mean annual incidence that was 2.4 times the annual state incidence. Focusing mosquito control and public education efforts in these areas could significantly reduce the burden of WNV disease.

Disparities in COVID-19 fatalities among working Californians

Kristin J. Cummings, John Beckman, Matthew Frederick, Robert Harrison, Alyssa Nguyen, Robert Snyder, Elena Chan, Kathryn Gibb, Andrea Rodriguez, Jessie Wong, Erin L. Murray, Seema Jain, Ximena Vergara

Summary: This study aimed to describe COVID-19 mortality among working Californians in 2020 and provide preventive strategies. The findings showed that out of the total fatalities among individuals aged 18-64, 9.9% were attributed to COVID-19. The majority of confirmed and likely working COVID-19 decedents were male, Latino, and foreign-born with lower education levels. Certain occupational groups, such as farming, material moving, construction, production, and transportation, had higher COVID-19 mortality rates compared to the overall rate. Additionally, mortality rates were significantly higher for male, Latino, and Black workers compared to their counterparts.
