Showing the manipulation of 'El Correo': COVID-19 infections in CAPV workplaces exceed 2%

  • The professor of Biochemistry and researcher of Ikerbasque at the UPV/EHU Ugo Mayor denies the number one cover of El Correo del Domingo: “Only 2% of the Basque population infected by the virus has been infected in the workplace,” the media explained, while the Basque Government only illuminates 5% of the origin of the contagion in its data and, on the other hand, if these data are extrapolated to 100%, more than 50% of the contagion occurs in the workplace.

Azaroaren 29ko igandeko El Correoren azala (@Ugo_Mayor-etik hartuta)

The CAV's best-selling newspaper on Sunday gave the main owner of the alleged data: 2% of people affected by COVID-19 have been infected “alone” in workplaces. On the same day, the biochemist Ugo Mayor, who keeps track of the disease data from his Twitter account, has described as “shameful” the “data manipulation” that the news makes and has argued his complaint in a thread.

The news of El Correo refers to the Spanish National Epidemiological Surveillance Network (RENAVE) as the source of its data, as highlighted by Mayor. It is precisely the data of the last RENAVE report of 25 November that show the falsehood of that 2% given by El Correo.

The Basque Government does not provide data on the causes of the contagion

First of all, it is impossible to know the origin of the COVID-19 infections in the CAPV, because the Basque Government itself does not provide this data. According to Figure 9 of the RENAVE report, the Government of Urkullu only determines the origin of the contagion in 5.4% of cases. The Mail dedicated a news item on November 13, as Mayor stressed: “The origin of COVID-19 infections in the Basque Country is a mystery,” the title said. The table also provides an explanatory data: CAV is the Spanish State community with the least data on the origin of contagion.

Report No 54. Status of COVID-19 onwards a.Casos diagnosed on May 10 (RENAVE Report, November 25, taken from @Ugo_Major)

The few existing data suggest a very different reality.

Of all these cases, 5.4%, according to data provided by the Basque Government to the State, have occurred in “health or socio-sanitary centers” 2.6%, in “others” 1.6% and in “workplaces” 1.3%. That is, in 24% of the cases in which the source is identified, contamination has occurred in the workplace. But that's not all. "Who is infected in social and health care centers? ", he asks Major. There is no data from the CAPV to clarify this, but there are reports from RENAVE at the state level that can serve to make an idea:

Report No 54. Status of COVID-19 onwards a.Casos diagnosed on May 10 (RENAVE Report, November 25, taken from @Ugo_Major)

 

In health and socio-sanitary centers, 50,986 cases of contamination have been recorded, of which 31,044 correspond to "health personnel", which represents 60.88% of the total. (Higher gives a figure of 34,733, 68%, because it also includes infected workers from other “centres” – 3,689 – we have decided to exclude them. In any case, the change is small). If these proportions were applied to the CAPV, 29% of the cases of specified origin would be infected health workers in the workplace. In total, more than half of the cases identified, more than half, would be located in workplaces (53%), in addition to data on other infections (24+29%).

Can these data be extrapolated to 100% of the contagion? It does not seem that 5.4% of the sample is sufficient to perform such tests. But, on the one hand, if there is no more data, it is because the Basque Government does not give them; and, on the other, what is very clear is that the main owner of El Correo del Domingo is far from the truth.
