I think it's too few data points to say gotcha, but the Chinese manipulate data they share with the world as a matter of course. It would be exceptional if these data were truthful.

    We are one photograph like this from Common Knowledge about nCov2019 changing in exactly the same way.

I'm not sure about this. It depends on how bad the reality is. China can hide a lot. That said if people aren't reporting back to work, they aren't reporting back to work.

Here’s an estimate of 17,500 to 195,000 based on the current observed mutations.

I’m not sure if the sequence data is evenly-sourced though (it probably isn’t), and the author says it is limited.
