cord-308069-iydjrmhh	Contreras, Sebastián	Statistically-based methodology for revealing real contagion trends and correcting delay-induced errors in the assessment of COVID-19 pandemic	2020-07-03		.txt	text/plain	4970	251	51	We address the existence of different delays in the report of new cases, induced by the incubation time of the virus and testing-diagnosis time gaps, and other error sources related to the sensitivity/specificity of the tests used to diagnose COVID-19. In a previous work , we proposed a methodology to obtain real-time estimations of the Effective Reproduction Number R t directly from raw data, which was satisfactorily applied to evaluate the panorama of the COVID-19 spread in different countries and to forecast its evolution (Medina-Ortiz et al., 2020a) . We present an analogous methodology to estimate the number of discharged/recovered individuals, based on the reported evolution of the viral infection, the performance of the different tests for its diagnosis, and the case fatality, which can be easily adapted for a particular country.	./cache/cord-308069-iydjrmhh.txt	./txt/cord-308069-iydjrmhh.txt
