COVID-19: What is Turkey’s true case count?
Turkey revised its reporting criteria on November 25 to include asymptomatic cases, increasing its daily reported cases by a factor of 3.6 overnight. With cases now averaging 32,000/day and rising, the country is three days from crossing the million-case threshold, officially.
But we know that this is a spectacular undercount.
Turkey currently reports 925,342 COVID-19 cases (16th overall by country) where the actual reported value based on curent reporting criteria should be 2.1 million cases (6th overall), and the underlying incidence of all infections is likely 3.5–5 million.

COVID-19: What is Turkey's true case count? As noted 8 days ago, Turkey (https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/turkey) had revised its COVID-19 reporting criteria on November 25 (/posts/562c716016700139163b002590d8e506) to include asymptomatic cases, increasing its daily reported cases by a factor of 3.6 literally overnight. With cases now averaging 32,000/day and rising, and 925,000 officially reported cases (ranked 16th overall, behind Peru) the country is three days from crossing the million-case threshold, officially. But we know that this is a spectacular undercount. The question arises, what is the likely actual number of cases? I'll argue that this is 2.1 million (6th ranked) with a true ncidence of at least 3.5 million, possibly as high as 5 million, based on prior undercounts and observed mortality. Data are all based on Worldometers (https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/) unless otherwise noted. Underreported diagnoses We can look at the change in repor...
COVID-19: Why US situation is far worse than Europe’s, and why this may not be immediately evident
TL;DR: In assessing relative risk status, the future must be considered, not simply the present.

COVID-19: Why US situation is far worse than Europe's, and why this may not be immediately evident TL;DR: In assessing relative risk status, the future must be considered, not simply the present. An HN thread[0] discusses whether the US or Europe are experiencing a worse Covid situation. The question contains nuances and pitfalls, though the general answer seems to be: The EU's situation is generally several weeks advanced relative to the US. As with the Jan--Mar 2020 interval, situations in different regions can be generally considered as time-shifts of one another rather than distinct dynamics. Instant measures of current case or death rates fail to account for built-in and likely future impacts and risks. Ignoring these is a category error, though a common one. The European daily trends are slowing or reversing. US trends are accelerating. The US future looks far bleaker than the European future. This contrasts with the blinding bias of considering only immediate present ...
