Think someone is lying to you?
First check to see if they bothered to add any variability whatsoever in the model they are using to supposedly report actual numbers from a complex system.

#coronavirus
The mortality rate they want you to report is the - 0 day rate: Today's Confirmed Death total minus Today's Confirmed Case total.
This has not varied outside of 1/10th of 1% in the last 5 prints.

The Mainland China data from the last 5-6 prints:
1. Can be modeled essentially perfectly
2. Corresponds exactly to a change in the reported mortality rate starting on Jan. 27
3. That reported mortality rate has been lowered to seek 2.20% on a -0Day basis

Closer look at mortality rates calculated at -0, -3, -5, -7 Days.
Since the virus takes between 7-10 Days to kill people, achieving steady state in the -0 Day mortality rate is only possible if a dramatic reduction in mortality occurred.

A finer point on what is happening:
China is a country of 1.4 Billion with 10s of Millions in lockdown in cities & entire regions. Schools are closed for months; work stoppages for weeks.
China posts #coronavirus #s daily for at least 31 provincial divisions in the Mainland.

The #coronavirus expansion is extremely complex with many moving parts... even including mandatory cremations.
Yet, I have been able to predict their reporting within an extremely narrow band since early in the outbreak expansion (around 4500 cases / 100 deaths).

Thread became disconnected and a few corrections were made, so I will re-attach today's #coronavirus numbers.

Last 8 points fit a quadratic with an R^2 of ~0.9999.
Let's ignore a scenario where China would be over-reporting the #coronavirus numbers.
If the reports were indeed from a model and the actuals were higher... the game is to let the quadratic run until it outpaces the actuals.

The problem with taking this approach (obviously) in the early phase of an exponential system occurs if your corrective actions aren't effective enough to get you onto the other side of the model before you are found out.

Look closer at the Hubei Province (1 of 31) data. You can make out the subtle changes in the reporting model a little more clearly.
It should therefore be more difficult to predict. I will try anyway - Feb 4:

A bit above trend (+24%) in new cases reported in Hubei shows an acceleration, which I think marks an adjustment in the model. This should mean we've under-predicted the Mainland cases.

Fortunately, my biggest miss yet (295 cases) proves I'm not running propaganda for China.
Unfortunately, reported cases in the mainland have accelerated a bit which increases numbers for the coming days.
Will post updated predictions for tomorrow.

The logic driving the narrative behind #coronavirus reporting from Mainland China follows a simple grift.
First: prioritize headline #s, which to them is clearly the mortality rate calculated on a day/day ('-0 day') basis.
Nearly pinned for 8 days (+20,000 cases) seeking 2.0%

From the Feb. 4 data, Hubei (1/31 regions) had 69% of "confirmed" Mainland #coronavirus cases.
Yet, Hubei model adjusts more than the full Mainland: harder prediction.
I'd post these for Hubei tonight to maintain narrative:

Editor's Note:
I'm being optimistic for Feb 5 Hubei #coronavirus deaths. Application of yesterday's Hubei day/day mortality rate of 2.87% would lead to a prediction of 581 deaths (+102) vs. the 562 (+83) above.
I believe the goal of the narrative is to work this % down.

A major observation here is the mortality rate calculated on a day/day or (-0 Day) basis, which is wound very tightly around 2.01% regardless of fit on # of cases.
It has also been very steady with a slight decline seeking 2.0% since the narrative change Jan 27.

Today marks the 1st day in the last 10 where I can't simply explain the point by a pre-determined quadratic.
It is therefore their 1st attempt at introducing some variability into the model or a shift in the narrative to begin a rollover.

This has been one of the highest volume propaganda days I've seen during #coronavirus and I'm having trouble finding anything to suggest the numbers behind the model are valid.
Leaving the numbers since we're predicting narrative and not actual anyway.

Many want to attribute the data to a limiting function such as #coronavirus test capability coming online.
True that this should be a non-zero contributor to the data set. It would also mean that 'confirmed' cases are saturated and would accelerate as capability came online.

The number of reported new cases daily to take a closer look at this. This is also why I've noted the next few days are pretty important.
Since we've got 10 well formed data points, I plotted mainland #coronavirus case levels predicted by various polynomials through Monday as an experiment (since it may not be an actual system). Today's expectation is really tight across the fits.
Narrative Alert.If the 'actuals' are really above the 'reported' that seems to be modeled, catching up will be relatively apparent in the model now.
I vote we skip today's numbers...
I described yesterday as a turning point in #CoronaVirus narrative regardless of news.

A decisive enough deviation from tightly regressed trend that it'd be pretty cruel if it were to shoot up.
Also surprising that propaganda is opposite & they aren't chest beating.

Unless cases/deaths have increased outside of Hubei, we should have overpredicted the CCP numbers for the Mainland as well.
If this continues, then we would have marked a change in trend starting yesterday that the CCP will start using to declare "mission accomplished"
