All-India picture unclear as only three states are sharing comorbidity data of Covid-19 deceased. Doctors are calling upon states to reveal data on both comorbidities and the spread of variants to gauge their impact on Covid-19 deaths

Kolkata: More people without any underlying comorbid conditions died of Covid-19 during the peak of the second wave of the pandemic in West Bengal, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu than in the peak of the first wave, our analysis of official data reveals. A majority of these deaths were of persons aged under 60 years.

Death without comorbidity refers to Covid-19 cases where a person with no major pre-existing health condition such as diabetes or high blood pressure passed away after contracting Covid-19. It means Covid-19 was the main cause of death. West Bengal, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka are the only three major states systemically providing data related to comorbidities among Covid-19 deceased.

While the intensity of the second wave countrywide has been ascribed to the Delta variant's increased transmissibility by the central government's policy think-tank Niti Aayog, there is little publicly available evidence to examine this variant's role in increased deaths of Covid-19 patients with no comorbidities in states such as West Bengal, where this variant is dominant, say doctors.

Comorbidity-related data should be placed in relation to the proportion of Covid-19 variants in states to gauge their impact, if any, on deaths of persons with no underlying comorbidities, they say. For instance, to assess if the Delta variant had a role in the higher share of such deaths in West Bengal, statistics related to the proportion of variants in Tamil Nadu and Karnataka are required, but unavailable in published form. Further, other states such as Maharashtra and Delhi where the same Delta variant is dominant do not release comorbidity-related data in their daily Covid-19 bulletins.
