A TikTok comedian who shot to fame by predicting NSW's daily new Covid case number five days in a row insists he does it with maths skills. The following day's case numbers can be easily obtained by simply subtracting the previous day's number from the new one - the only maths required. Jon-Bernard Kairouz (pictured on The Project), who refers to himself as the People's Premier, has correctly predicted the state's soaring case numbers for the past five consecutive days. But as the speculation grows about how he's able to come up with his seemingly magic numbers, Kairouz said he's just trying to enjoy the process and his new-found notoriety. NSW Health officials collate each day's number of positive cases up until 8pm - giving him two-and-a-half hours to hear from any source.
