The only extrapolation that I make is for weeks that the CDC has not reported on yet. The 5/20 update only includes data thru 5/9, and the last three weeks are provisional and do change substantially in later updates.pic.twitter.com/NM3sPCED9w

The only extrapolation that I make is for weeks that the CDC has not reported on yet. The 5/20 update only includes data thru 5/9, and the last three weeks are provisional and do change substantially in later updates.pic.twitter.com/NM3sPCED9w
I extrapolate using two different assumptions: (1) Constant Delta Assumption: I assume that the difference between the Excess Deaths and the Confirmed Deaths remains constant at its maximum value observed during prior weeks. This is a conservative assumption.
(2) Constant Ratio Assumption: I assume that the Excess Deaths will remain the same percent greater than the Confirmed Deaths for future weeks. This is a less conservative assumption.
(3) For this Chart, I only plotted the "Constant Delta" extrapolation (dashed line), which is more conservative. All of the other data on the plot is as reported by the indicated organization.pic.twitter.com/bq9M5eG4uK
(4) This 5/20 estimate of US Total CoVID-19 Deaths is still biased downward, because the CDC included "Deaths Not By Natural Causes" in their analysis. This may add 10,000-20,000 additional deaths.
(5) The CDC Excess Deaths dataset was updated on 5/20 and provided data thru 5/9. The only extrapolation I made was in the last two rows of the table.pic.twitter.com/nPY3vOWsBO
(6) These two tables show direct results from the "CDC Excess Deaths" dataset as of 5/20 thru 5/9. I only create calculated columns directly from their data. Source Link: https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid19/excess_deaths.htm …pic.twitter.com/PVJlpsvZ0t
(7) People of the US need to know their death counts are > 1.7X higher in more than 25 states. I believe the low reports were originally an organic result of natural progressions in misattribution, but their continued use after knowledge of their errors is willful.pic.twitter.com/HlBhSUSyLS
(7) Some Key Southern and Southwest States as of 5/9 (17 days ago): Arizona: 1,328 v. 532 Florida: 2,212 v. 1,715 Mississippi: 924 v. 421 South Carolina: 1,220 v. 330 Texas: 3,716 v. 1,066 This still doesn't account for the "Deaths Not By Natural Causes" effect.
(8) Using these CDC Numbers, I project the following for 5/25:pic.twitter.com/qLp2F3y2To
(9) So Texas has 4,000 to 5,000 deaths and is reporting 1,500. This may have been an organic mistake of misattribution, but it's impossible to get the true death count out now due to first impressions and political suppression. Should Texans care?
(10) If there are no future misattributions, the constant delta assumption is true. If there are fewer misattributions going forward, the truth lies between the two extrapolations.
