Is that data complete? Simple yes or no question by the way since you seem to have ignored my third sentence.

You do realize it wasn't you I originally quoted don't you? You just jumped on... 

Is the data on number of new cases and deaths per day complete?  Mostly.  I even addressed that earlier today that NYC was able to test postmortem patients anymore due to test scarcity so the actual reported deaths are nearly half of the real deaths. You'll get some other fluctuations in there too.  Each city, county, state, country, etc...may report a little differently.  But these are numbers that will never be equal across the board anyway. That's a known problem with all kinds of decentralized reporting data.  The High School drop out rate, for instance is not universally calculated even in the same state.  One city will count just those that actually never returned to any school (dropped out) while others will count students that just moved as having dropped out. It sucks and there is no way to correct the numbers to you have to work with what you have.

And yes, you did specially say me.  See BOLD.

"More a sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander situation. Granted neither of you is a president but haven't you been speculating repeatedly throughout the thread? Hasn't everyone been speculating ... that's all a model is speculation based on incomplete data ... last I knew Incomplete data does not equate to fact. I'm no fan of Trump but I don't like hypocrisy.  "

Despite that, the person you did quote initially, Permalite, also has not been speculating in this thread.

Balls you got your reply off before I got my edit off.  See my edit.  You are correct i don't recall Permalite speculating in THIS thread.  I didn't quote him for the purpose of this thread though.

New cases per day I would personally guess to be woefully inaccurate. 

Edit so you weren't ever speculating?
