COVID-19 SPREAD GLOBALLY

80k

Information as of 5/19/20

As of May 19th, 2020• ~4.9 MM cases reported

in 200 countries and territories• ~322 K reported deaths

First reported in Wuhan,China, on December 31, 2019

Declared a global pandemicby the World Heath Organizationon March 11, 2020

AT A GLANCE: SUMMARY FACTSInformation as of 5/14/20

Key facts ImplicationsContagion • Initial estimates suggested COVID-19 R0 is between 2 and 3 (with edge of range

estimates closer to 1.4 and 3.6), which means each person infects 2–3 others2; R0 for the seasonal flu is around 1.33

• New emerging estimates suggest R0 may be closer to 5.7 (edge of range 3.8–8.9)4

Without masks, social distancing, and selective isolation, COVID-19 is at least twice as contagious as the seasonal flu

Current human immunity

• No herd immunity exists yet as the virus is novel in humans Social distancing (quarantines, WFH, school closures) was the only “brake” to slow spread

Incubation period • The incubation period is a median of 5.5 days (up to 14 days)1,15 (vs 3-day period for common flu1); data suggests that viral shedding continues beyond symptom resolution5

People are contagious for longer periods than the flu or other illnesses, requiring longer bouts of quarantine to suppress spread

Portion of cases asymptomatic but contagious

• COVID-19 can be spread asymptomatically6

• In retrospective studies of those people tested and confirmed positive for COVID-19, experts estimate 18–30% are asymptomatic, with another 10–20% with mild enough symptoms to not suspect COVID-197

• Early indicators from point in time comprehensive testing of small populations (e.g., Vo, Italy; Iceland) suggest as many as 50% of cases could be asymptomatic8

• In cohorts of younger individuals (e.g., pregnant woman, sailors on USS Theodore) the proportion of asymptomatics exceeded 60%9,10

People who feel “fine” are capable of –and are – transmitting COVID-19 to others

Portion of cases reaching “critical”/ “severe” infection

• Approximately 19% of confirmed cases are considered “severe” or “critical”, requiring hospitalization; 1/4th of those need ICU beds11

Hospital systems risk being overtaxed (ICU beds, ventilators, PPE) meaning case fatality rates could rise further

Fatality • Case fatality rates are trending at 6.6% globally12 (vs. 0.1% for flu13)• Estimates for infected fatality rate are 0.3%–1.3% based on assumptions around

the number of undiagnosed individuals14

Fatality is orders of magnitude higher than typical influenzas

Epidemiologic perspectives

• Seasonality: Several new studies released last week (MIT, University of Toronto) suggest impact of seasonality is likely to be very mild and will be insufficient to stamp out pandemic

Suppression and road to reopening

• Testing: FDA has issued 3 EUAs in the past two weeks for new types of tests (CRISPR, Antigen, saliva-based at home collection); likely the tip of the iceberg of a new wave of tests that will come to market carrying the promise of faster and cheaper testing at scale

• Tracing: As countries across the globe move towards re-opening, individual employers are weighing whether they should supplement public health tracing with their own solutions. Tech companies are seizing the potential opportunity and assembling offerings

• Privacy related to tracing will continue to be a hot-button issue; a new bill was introduced both in the House and the Senate to protect privacy in this era of tracing

Re-opening approach and considerations

• ~75% of US states have taken steps to reopen their economies, ranging from very staged and/or regional to comprehensive and spanning their entire footprint; Many European countries, including hard-hit Italy and Spain are on the path to re-opening including several (e.g., Denmark, Austria, Netherlands, France) that have re-opened schools. The European Commission recommended re-opening of borders in time for summer

• New case growth: Re-opened countries are watching case growth very closely and many are implementing measures swiftly (e.g., re-closing of bars in S. Korea, mass testing campaign after 6 new cases in Wuhan, Germany’s announcement of strict criteria for an “emergency brake” which would bring back restrictions)

• Sweden: Sweden continues on its course of aiming to build herd immunity while ensuring that the health system does not become overwhelmed. Sweden’s chief epidemiologist predicts Stockholm could reach herd immunity as early as this month

Vaccines and therapeutics

• Remdesivir: Gilead is rapidly penning partnerships with generics manufacturers to scale up manufacturing and distribute Remdesivir globally. Meanwhile HHS is stepping in to help appropriately allocate available doses to state health departments in the US

• Vaccines: All major manufacturers are rushing to scale up production in preparation for any successful clinical trials; even with pre-scaling of manufacturing, biotech giants are predicting limited availability in fall / winter and mass availability next year

AS GEOGRAPHIES RE-OPEN, WE ARE MONITORING A BROAD ARRAY OF DATA POINTS TO PREDICT REGIONS AT HIGHEST RISK OF FURTHER DISRUPTION

• How hard has the region been hit?

• Where is the region on its first outbreak curve (emerging, stabilizing, recovering)?

• How well have hospitals been able to manage the first surge?

• How broadly and how quickly are businesses being allowed to re-open?

• How stringent are PPE and social distancing requirements?

• Is there sufficient testing capacity to detect patients early?

• Is there sufficient contact tracing capability to identify potential infections early?

• What increased capacity is being planned?

• How are mobility and social distancing indicators changing?

• How is transmission rate increasing?

• Using OW’s boots-on-the-ground Global Sensing Network, how are individuals and businesses behaving and complying?

• Is the region higher-risk due to age, population density, comorbid conditions, socioeconomic factors?

• Is there a cultural bias toward social distancing, or multi-gen households?

WE BELIEVE SOME ARCHETYPES CARRY A HIGHER RISK OF FURTHER DISRUPTION AS WE EMERGE FROM THE FIRST PEAK

Surviving and recovering

Preparing for recovery

Managing the surge Eager Reopening Spared

and reopened

• Dense urban populations severely affected, leading to highest case fatality and cases per capita

• Most have not yet reopened indoor businesses despite declining new cases

• All require face masks in public, and reopening plans are staged and regional

• Major cities remain at risk despite cautious approach to reopening

• Most have not yet reopened indoor businesses, or have reopened very narrowly as they hope to see cases decline

• Preparing for testing and tracing by boosting capabilities

• Reopening policies vary: some reopened broadly, while others are taking regional and/or staged approaches

• New cases continue and oscillate unpredictably, posing the potential to outpace testing

• Most states reopened as new cases were rising – but have since managed to stabilize and decline new cases (except SD)

• Reopening policies vary: some reopened broadly, while others are taking regional and/or staged approaches

• Insufficient testing may be obscuring true case growth

• Least affected by the pandemic to-date

• Most reopened statewide, but those with denser cities are taking a regional approach

• Testing was strong, but is starting to decline, and mobility is rising

• Most have relatively vulnerable populations, and demonstrated less distancing during the first outbreak – leaving them less prepared for one in the future

Key observations from estimates

• Forecast updates have been frequent and sizable – Consensus is that bad news on the virus continues to outweigh good news on policy actions

• Forecasted Q2 qoq annualized growth rate in the US (~30–40% drop) will be the worst since we have quarterly data available

• Key indicators to track include:– Trend for percent of U.S.

U.S. Unemployment Forecasts – Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4Quarterly unemployment rate, by select economic analysts (5)1

Key insights

• Most annual unemployment forecasts assume a steady economic recovery starting in June, and do not account for the possibility of subsequent significant waves of infection

• 36.5 million unemployment claims filed since start of the COVID-19 lockdown, wiping out the last eleven years of job gains3, 4

• Congressional Budget Office forecasts a slower employment recovery than most major banks

• The CARES Act has allocated ~$660B in forgivable loans to cover small business payroll expenses, padding against additional job losses in the short term

• “In the short term, though, the negative demand shock (a possible deep recession) combined with the collapse in crude oil prices will likely result in an economy-wide disinflationary shock that could last for several months.” –Economic Research at FRB St. Louis

• “Longer-term market gauges show investors do not expect the extraordinary rescue measures undertaken by the US central bank and the federal government are likely to trigger a surge in consumer prices” – Financial Times
