Show abstract
In December-2019 China reported several cases of a novel coronavirus later called COVID-19. In this work, we will use a probabilistic method for approximating the true daily numbers of infected. Based on two distribution functions to describe the spontaneous recovered cases on the one hand and the detected cases on the other hand. The impact of the underlying variables of these functions is discussed. The detected rate is predicted to be between 5.3% and 12%, which means that there would be about 68 million infected until now (25-May 2020), rather than the officially declared number of 5.37 million worldwide cases.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
