Doubt they’re entry errors. I think it’s 1) misinformation or 2) real data. I saw one of the earlier ‘leaked’ screenshots and it was consistent with case projections curves from epidemiologists using a Ro of 3ish I believe. The ‘official’ numbers are all suspiciously low.

Whoever is doing this is risking their freedom/life. It’s entirely reasonable to assume someone who does know the official numbers is collaborating with a Tencent techie.
