Try to predict dark figure for COVID-19

Description

The problem with the current data sets is, that the dark figure of infected people is unknown and might be very high. The number of known infections depends on many influences, especially on the number of tests.

Trying to match the numbers from John Hopkins CSSE with the result of the paper [1] the number of the infected is much too low.

Idea

Throw aways the 'infected' numbers of the available statistics and compute them based on the results of [1] only based on the death rate. Compare them with the reported numbers, try to find a correlation between these and try to extrapolate for the future.

Computation

Based on figure 1 (page 4) of [1] from one person's death at day X the following can be concluded:

  • 1 person: day X: healed from intensive care unit
  • 1 person: day X + 1, ...: this person is imun
  • 2 persons: day X - 10, ..., X: intensive care unit
  • 6 persons: day X - 11, ..., X + 3: (normal) hospital
  • 6 persons: day X + 4, ...: these persons are imun
  • 177.778 persons: day X - 15, ..., X - 6: sick (no hospital)
  • 177.778 persons: day X - 17, ..., X - 7: infectious
  • 177.778 persons: day X - 6, ...: imun
