Questions on Chinese data

…and an hypothesis on who might want them to look like that

Today I read an interesting hypothesis on Chinese data which is worth mentioning.

What just happened today? China revised the numbers of deaths due to COVID by +50%.

Not about +50%. Exactly 50%.

It's interesting, why would they so obviously take the piss, it's like a secret plea for help passed by whoever had to prepare the numbers to bypass their seniors.

Tim Culpan & environs @tculpan

Isn’t that amazing. They revised up the total by precisely 50% https://t.co/Pb1nftpE4K

Coincidence?

Maybe, but the trend of numbers from China following a pattern which is a bit too neat goes on since January. Look at the nice chart below. A bit too nice, perhaps.

Feb.13 Mainland China #CoronaVirus: 267 cases in addition to Hubei, some confusion on death total (will update) Prediction (12 days in advance): 63,774 "Reported" 63,851 Low by 77 cases. That is 0.12%. The data is fraudulent. China is hiding something about the Mainland.

What’s that drop on the right? Part of a perfect curve (see below).

Past 2 prints should raise alarms at @WHO & @CDCgov & should have already led to @WhiteHouse meetings. The implications of a struggle in the upr ranks of a major world power to fabricate severity of this event while moving toward a "wartime" footing are severe & under-reported.

It does raise some questions.
