Hello everyone!
I just found this. I don't know much about this source, so please forgive me if it's garbage.
It would appear that Tencent may have accidentally leaked real data on Wuhan virus deaths.

Corona virus: R0 of 4.08 - Fatality rate of 6.5%
How is the Corona virus not -considerably- worse than influenza?

Thanks for the update. I'd love to find out more about the whistleblower you mentioned.

What I think is interesting about these numbers is the number of confirmed cases (154,023) and the 24,589 death total closes matches the Lancet Journal's projected novel coronavirus fatality rate of 14-15%.

It’s time to start testing patients with unexplained pneumonia, even if they haven’t traveled to China.
First, doctors must be on high alert. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention should expand its guidance to doctors: Be suspicious of anyone with unexplained pneumonia who tests negative for common viruses, even if the patient has no connection to China.
An expanded sentinel surveillance system—detailed data collected from a network of high-risk locations—could help spot unusual clusters of illness that might be the beginning of an outbreak. If only 10% to 20% of people develop serious symptoms, then for every person diagnosed there may be eight or nine who elude detection.
Second, these expanded criteria should translate into broader screening. It’s crucial to identify cases of secondary spread, in which someone catches the virus from another person who hasn’t recently been to China.
CDC currently recommends testing only those with a clear and known risk factor, such as travel to China or close contact with an infected or exposed person. The patient must also be showing symptoms, such as fever and shortness of breath. This strategy will miss illnesses coming from a potential outbreak in which the index case—the person who traveled to China, for example—is two or three steps removed from the people who show up at the hospital with pneumonia. It’s time to start testing more people, even if they haven’t visited China or been in contact with someone infected.

Maybe someone on here can prove thats a photoshopped image?
Still possible it’s a fake but then why would the numbers be a close match to Lancet?

Only 2 things I can offer are that;
These “slip leaks” have happened before in China. Sometimes the “slip” is more like insider leaks.
On WeChat users were saying that it wasn’t photoshopped and there are lots of qualified PS users in China. It’s a standard class for many degrees. I had many staff that could use it well and tell PS’d photos by sight or opening them up in PS.

It was on WeChat long before I saw it on Twitter. I don’t reddit.

Just spitballing here but maybe the jackass that photshopped it saw the Lancet numbers and wanted to scare people.

I did find this on reddit. I'm on mobile so can't upload a pic. They are saying easy to edit in a web browser and they showed an example.pic
Can someone repost photo so I can try? On phone don't want to dig.
