c. As we have seen elsewhere, clustering in office settings can lead to very high attack rates. e.g Case study from S. Korea: 1143 workers tested in a call centre with a 8.5% attack rate (97 PCR+ve). 9/n wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/26…

In the absence of proper contact tracing and control measures employed, serological testing in this cohort is likely to show a high attack rate unrepresentative of the seroepidemiological situation in the Greater Seoul region. 10/n

d. No independent validation is done on the rapid IgG/igM test kit used used for the purpose of the survey (Aurora Biomed). Independent analysis by the FDA found less than ideal sensitivity for the test kit. Note: C.I range for sensitivity and PPV 11/n accessdata.fda.gov/cdrh_docs/pres… pic.twitter.com/3q99kStA26

The test kit in question has also been banned in Peru for sensitivity issues. 12/n digemid.minsa.gob.pe/upload/uploade… pic.twitter.com/mhnMpkmCOu

e. With the reported sensitivity, i'll leave you to calculate FP ratio for testing in an asymptomatic population. Also number of samples assayed is heavily underpowered to provide quantitative data that can be used to extrapolate community prevalence in Tokyo (pop. 14M). 13/n pic.twitter.com/ry37YQJEvU

f. The authors fail to mention that random testing conducted by the ministry of health in Japan found just 0.17% of the population have antibodies to SARS-COV-2 in Tokyo in Early June (just after 1st surge) for a 1% IFR. 14/n mhlw.go.jp/stf/newpage_11…

g. At the peak of its 2nd surge, test positivity was just under 7% from ~4.5k PCR sample per day (weekdays). Peak of ICU usage 105 in 1st surge vs 38 2nd surge. Control measures between 1st and 2nd surge largely similar in Tokyo. 16/n stopcovid19.metro.tokyo.lg.jp pic.twitter.com/dvIIvBHmyH

At first surge, people stayed home with rising infections (jmaj.jp/detail.php?id=…), mass gatherings banned and extensive contact tracing which was was widely applied in handling second surge. 17/n bloomberg.com/news/articles/… pic.twitter.com/55XSsr978s

Due to increased mixing from self isolation fatigue, people started mixing again and a 2nd surge arose with local governments re-recommending early closure of restaurants, bar closure, school closure and people discouraged people from traveling. 18/n theguardian.com/world/2020/jul…

Very effective public health measures and a self-isolating public have managed to prevent widespread epidemic spread in Tokyo. The virus didn't magically caused low levels of infection during 1st surge and suddenly infected ~50% of the population within weeks for 2nd surge. 19/n pic.twitter.com/SocNUCy7Ga

Overall this is a very poor study whose results should not be widely interpreted to the greater Tokyo population. At best this study should only be generalized as analyzing seroepidemiological outcomes for one company in Tokyo. 20/n

Follow up 1: This comment may have not been very clear, Reference is to both specificity, sensitivity and underpowering issues affecting FP rate, poor PPV in the cohort being tested and extrapolation of results from the study pop. to Tokyo pop. twitter.com/CovidSerology/…

Follow up 2: Others have also pointed out how oddly antibodies in this cohort peak way (1 month) before peak in 2nd surge. Based on what we know about antibody kinetics, antibodies should peak at or just second surge peak twitter.com/AdamJKucharski…

This study is getting some attention, but results look odd – if group developed antibodies during 2nd outbreak, would expect increase in seroprevalence to occur near the August peak, rather than a few weeks beforehand (during period with few cases)... medrxiv.org/content/10.110… 1/ pic.twitter.com/38IWclb1n0

機械翻訳>全体として、これは非常に貧弱な研究であり、その結果をより多くの東京の人口に広く解釈すべきではありません。 せいぜいこの研究は、東京の1つの会社の血清疫学的結果を分析することとしてのみ一般化されるべきです。

@rfsquared @bealelab @BallouxFrancois @stevebrown2856 Disclaimer: I was involved later in the project after assays were collected (I provided clinical perspective, analyses and writing). However, we were really surprised how stable the results were. Tests were intentionally obtained sequentially to test stability.

@rfsquared @bealelab @BallouxFrancois @stevebrown2856 The test itself (Aurora Rapid COVID Test) reportedly had IgM 100% Sens, 100% Specificty, IgG 96.7% Sens, 97.5% Spec when measured against CDC ELISA and Mt Sinai's RBD IgG ELISA assays. So I think it's a pretty decent test (as rapid tests go) accessdata.fda.gov/cdrh_docs/pres…

@AndrewCAhn2 @rfsquared @bealelab @BallouxFrancois @stevebrown2856 The questionable nature of the conclusions in this paper is less surprising given that as a co-author you are misquoting reported IgM and IgG sensitivity and specificity for the test kit used. pic.twitter.com/iHAXHeiO6h
