Estimating from early exponential growth: parallels between 1918 influenza and 2020 SARS-CoV-2 pandemics. | LitMetric

AI Article Synopsis

  • The study compares the 1918 H1N1 influenza and 2020 SARS-CoV-2 pandemics by investigating their transmission in the same U.S. cities, using statistical methods to analyze their growth rates.
  • The researchers aim to estimate the basic reproductive number for both diseases, revealing insights into how outbreak timing and population demographics affect their spread.
  • Findings indicate that while both pandemics share transmission similarities, their initial responses vary significantly, such as later-starting COVID-19 epidemics being less severe compared to earlier influenza outbreaks.

Article Abstract

The large spatial scale, geographical overlap, and similarities in transmission mode between the 1918 H1N1 influenza and 2020 SARS-CoV-2 pandemics together provide a novel opportunity to investigate relationships between transmission of two different diseases in the same location. To this end, we use initial exponential growth rates in a Bayesian hierarchical framework to estimate the basic reproductive number, , of both disease outbreaks in a common set of 43 cities in the United States. By leveraging multiple epidemic time series across a large spatial area, we are able to better characterize the variation in across the United States. Additionally, we provide one of the first city-level comparisons of between these two pandemics and explore how demography and outbreak timing are related to . Despite similarities in transmission modes and a common set of locations, estimates for COVID-19 were uncorrelated with estimates of pandemic influenza in the same cities. Also, the relationships between and key population or epidemic traits differed between diseases. For example, epidemics that started later tended to be less severe for COVID-19, while influenza epidemics exhibited an opposite pattern. Our results suggest that despite similarities between diseases, epidemics starting in the same location may differ markedly in their initial progression.
