In the middle of a pandemic, moving targets make the death rate difficult to pin down.</p> <p>But experts told us Carlson’s statement is off-track. Many early mortality estimates were based on official counts of confirmed cases, but epidemiologists were consistent in saying those raw numbers didn’t reflect the virus’s deadliness with complete precision.</p> <div class="pf_subheadline">The numbers can be confusing</div> <p>Ideally, epidemiologists could divide the number of deaths by the number of infections to calculate what’s known as the "infection fatality rate." But there’s no way to get a complete count of the number of infected individuals, largely because so many mild cases go unreported. </p> <p>Jeffrey Shaman, an epidemiologist at Columbia University, said there could be as many as 12.5 COVID-19 infections for every confirmed case in the U.S. </p> <p>Still, scientists work with the data they have, even if it’s evolving and varies with patient demographics and location. Some of the first widely reported death rates were what are called "case fatality rates," which are calculated by dividing the number of known deaths by the number of reported cases. </p> <p>On March 3, for example, the World Health Organization <a href="https://www.politifact.com/article/2020/mar/06/why-its-hard-estimate-coronavirus-death-rate-early/">announced</a> that 3.4% of confirmed coronavirus patients around the world had died — a case fatality rate.</p> <p>Experts <a href="https://www.politifact.com/article/2020/mar/06/why-its-hard-estimate-coronavirus-death-rate-early/">told us at the time</a> that the 3.4% was only a snapshot, and one that likely undercounted people with mild symptoms. A WHO spokesperson said it would "change over time."</p> <p>The global case fatality rate has actually risen since then. As of May 3, the WHO had <a href="https://www.who.int/docs/default-source/coronaviruse/situation-reports/20200503-covid-19-sitrep-104.pdf?sfvrsn=53328f46_2" target="_blank">tallied</a> 3,349,786 confirmed cases worldwide and 238,628 deaths, for a case fatality rate of about 7%.</p> <p>Now, <a href="https://www.politifact.com/article/2020/apr/15/antibody-tests-help-open-economy-again-what-/">tests</a> for antibodies in the blood of people exposed to the coronavirus are offering the first glimpses at what the infection fatality rate could be in states such as New York and California.</p> <p>The tests haven’t all been as accurate as many experts <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2020/04/28/health/coronavirus-antibody-tests-terrible/index.html" target="_blank">would like</a>, and the studies of them haven’t all been peer-reviewed. "It remains very clear that we do not know the precise mortality of COVID-19 infection," said the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill’s Myron Cohen.</p> <p>But their preliminary results suggested the infection fatality rate may be below 1%, handing fodder to some who say the COVID-19 threat is overblown.</p> <p>Carlson said the new information shows COVID-19 is less deadly than expected.</p> <p>On his show, he cited widely disputed findings from <a href="https://www.bakersfield.com/news/local-doctors-assertions-on-covid-19-make-waves-on-social-media-attract-national-attention/article_6823a2e2-88a2-11ea-b44b-db257407c86b.html" target="_blank">two California doctors</a>. A Fox News spokesperson also pointed to a <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-statements/remarks-president-trump-vice-president-pence-members-coronavirus-task-force-press-briefing-20/" target="_blank">White House press conference</a>, a <a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.jpmorgan.com_jpmpdf_1320748449033.pdf&d=DwMGaQ&c=cnx1hdOQtepEQkpermZGwQ&r=kUU9Ln-nMo93yjViKDSEm9wmqr17tWvgeYlvH-mHvPU&m=vKITfWLhY6-lamhTF9Rq9JM3vJV237OKhpI5sGMosi0&s=3c4-VFI7wQV41qqfdKY1wAva2RwD4hQXmIodR23DZVs&e=" target="_blank">JP Morgan chart</a>, and recent antibody studies in <a href="https://pressroom.usc.edu/preliminary-results-of-usc-la-county-covid-19-study-released/" target="_blank">California</a> and <a href="https://www.governor.ny.gov/news/video-audio-photos-rush-transcript-amid-ongoing-covid-19-pandemic-governor-cuomo-announces-14" target="_blank">New York</a> to support it.</p> <p>But Shaman, the epidemiologist, said Carlson was "cherry-picking evidence."</p> <p>Many early figures were case fatality rates, while the estimates reported as a result of recent antibody studies are infection fatality rates. They shouldn’t be conflated, Shaman said.</p> <p>Seemingly small infection fatality rates can also cause mounting deaths. The New York study <a href="https://www.governor.ny.gov/news/video-audio-photos-rush-transcript-amid-ongoing-covid-19-pandemic-governor-cuomo-announces-14" target="_blank">showed</a> the state’s infection fatality rate to be around 0.5%, Gov.

But in a worst-case scenario where 70% of Americans are infected, a 0.5% rate could amount to 1.2 million U.S. deaths, Shaman said. </p> <p>And as <a href="https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2020/apr/14/candace-owens/covid-19-skeptics-say-theres-overcount-doctors-fie/">we’ve reported</a>, the death toll <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/2020/04/27/covid-19-death-toll-undercounted/?arc404=true&itid=lk_inline_manual_12" target="_blank">may be</a> <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/04/28/us/coronavirus-death-toll-total.html" target="_blank">higher</a> than we know. </p> <p>The infection fatality rate for the flu, which kills thousands of Americans annually, hovers under 0.1% and is calculated annually using a <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/burden/how-cdc-estimates.htm#References" target="_blank">mathematical model</a> that estimates the disease burden.</p> <div class="pf_subheadline">Carlson’s sources aren’t foolproof</div> <p>There are other problems with Carlson’s sources, including the clip he played of one of <a href="https://www.bakersfield.com/news/local-doctors-assertions-on-covid-19-make-waves-on-social-media-attract-national-attention/article_6823a2e2-88a2-11ea-b44b-db257407c86b.html" target="_blank">two California physicians</a> who gained national attention for calling to end the shutdowns.</p> <p>The doctors, who own an urgent care clinic, used the infection rate among patients tested at their clinic to extrapolate to the entire state and put the death rate at a tiny 0.03%. </p><div><html><body><section class="o-pick"> <header class="o-pick__header"> <h4 class="o-pick__title"> Featured Fact-check </h4> </header> <article class="o-pick__content"> <article class="m-statement m-statement--is-medium m-statement--false"> <div class="m-statement__author"> <div class="m-statement__avatar"> <div class="m-statement__image"> <div class="c-image" style="padding-top: 119.27710843373494%;"> <img class="c-image__thumb" height="99" src="https://static.politifact.com/CACHE/images/politifact/mugs/768px-Instagram_logo_2016.svg/322c808c00e73c217d17772ddd5a0eb5.jpg" width="83"/> <picture> <img class="c-image__original" height="99" src="https://static.politifact.com/CACHE/images/politifact/mugs/768px-Instagram_logo_2016.svg/8b142c91ebe468a84a192e6df2b7b994.jpg" width="83"/> </picture> </div> </div> </div> <div class="m-statement__meta"> <a class="m-statement__name" href="/personalities/instagram-posts/" title="Instagram posts"> Instagram posts </a> <div class="m-statement__desc"> stated on November 7, 2024 in Instagram posts </div> </div> </div> <div class="m-statement__content"> <div class="m-statement__body"> <div class="m-statement__quote-wrap"> <div class="m-statement__quote"> <a href="/factchecks/2024/nov/08/instagram-posts/world-health-organization-did-not-produce-suicide/"> “2,038 suicides have been reported (Nov. 6) following Donald Trump’s election win.” </a> </div> </div> <div class="m-statement__meter"> <div class="c-image" style="padding-top: 89.49771689497716%;"> <img alt="true" class="c-image__thumb" height="196" src="https://static.politifact.com/CACHE/images/politifact/rulings/meter-false/33efdb6633e5e2fdc2d4e2f63383a1e0.jpg." width="219"/> <picture> <img alt="false" class="c-image__original" height="196" src="https://static.politifact.com/politifact/rulings/meter-false.jpg" width="219"/> </picture> </div> </div> <footer class="m-statement__footer"> By Loreben Tuquero • November 8, 2024 </footer> </div> </div> </article> </article> </section> </body></html></div> <p>The University of Washington’s Carl Bergstrom <a href="https://twitter.com/CT_Bergstrom/status/1254484507320676352" target="_blank">wrote</a> on <a href="https://twitter.com/CT_Bergstrom/status/1254484809746792449" target="_blank">Twitter</a> that this amounts to "sampling bias" because patients at an urgent care clinic likely think they’re sick.
