Daily cases of Coronavirus excluding mainland China, data to 2020.03.03 by worldometers [1].
Then, errorbars for 2020.03.04 and 2020.03.05 are added. They match the oddest blue curve.
The original data are detected to vary a little bit. Hope, this is correction of errors, not a fraud. The corrections of the previous dates are not taken into account in this plot.

Description
Let \(n=n(t)\) be number of daily new cases or coronavirus refistered outside of China mainland. This set of data is chosen because the communist ideology of the China administration not only allow misinformation, but proscribe to use it for the propagandistic goals (to show advantages of China and, in general, that of the communistic regime).
Assuming the independent (Poisson) statistics of cases, the statistical deviation of data \(n\) from some trend is supposed to be of order of \(\sqrt{n}\). However, if I plot \(\sqrt{n}\) instead of \(n\), then, the random errors of characterization of spread of the coronavirus is the same for all data; it is of order of unity.
The discrete parameter \(t\) is just number of day since the beginning of alarm and observation. For the analysis, I assume, that 9 cases are registered at the first day of observations, id est, 2020.01.22.
Each datum is represented with green bar; its size corresponds to the typical statistical deviation of the measured number from the general trend. The goal is to choose this trend and use it as forecast, prediction.
The 3-parametric fits happen to be sufficient to be close enough to the experimental bars. The 3 fits are shown with solid line:
\(f_{40}(t) = 3.77461 + 0.097491 \exp(0.149631 t) \phantom{123}\) (red)
\(f_{41}(t) = 3.41545 + 0.163869 \exp(0.135286 t) \phantom{123}\) (black)
\(f_{35}(t) = 3.23360 + 0.252783 \exp(0.120411 t) \phantom{123}\) (blue)
The number of daily new cases is approximated as
\( n(t)\approx f_m(t)^2\)
Approximation \( f_{35}\) is optimistic. It is constructed to fit the first 35 experimental data, among them, the last dot drops a little bit down from the general heap.
Approximation \( f_{40}\) is pessimistic. It is constructed to fit the first 40 experimental data, among them, the last 4 dots jump a little bit above the general heap.
Approximation \( f_{41}\) is some intermedate. It is constructed to fit the first 41 experimental dots. It happens to fit well also the 42h dot too; so, no new approximation is constructed to take into the 42th datum.
The approximations gives the estimate of the increment of the rate of the new patients:
it is about of 0.27/day; roughly, each day, the number of daily new patients increases for \(\exp(0.27) \!\approx\! 1.3\) times ; for 2020.03.04, no tendency of slowing down of the spreading of the decease is seen from these data.
