Extended Data Fig. 7 ∣. S-gene dropout in community tests relative to a random sample of SARS-CoV-2 infections in the community.

Extended Data Fig. 7 ∣

Comparison of the proportion of samples with S-gene dropout in the Pillar 2 (that is, community testing) sample used in this analysis compared to Office for National Statistics (ONS) random sampling of the community. This comparison suggests that S-gene dropout samples are not overrepresented in testing data relative to the prevalence of S-gene dropout in the community, suggesting that the increased hazard of death among positive community tests estimated in this study is not the result of a decrease in the average propensity for test-seeking among individuals infected with B.1.1.7. Point and ranges for ONS data show mean and 95% credible intervals.
