The Epidemic Severity Index: Estimating Relative Local Severity of Novel Disease Outbreaks

2020-04-29

Abstract excerpt

Determining the severity of a novel pathogen in the early stages is difficult in the absence of reliable data. The pattern of outbreaks for COVID-19 across the globe have differed markedly above and below 30°N latitudes, suggesting very different levels of severity, but countries worldwide have implemented the same lockdown strategies. Existing methods for estimating severity appear not to have been useful in info...
