Surprise! Applications lake KNIME and ArcGIS have no clue what a tab separated value file is. I would suggest converting it to CSV.

paho-who-cases-reported-2016-02-24.tsv

This can easily be done by renaming the file extension to .csv and using a find and replace tool in your favorite editor to replace \t with ,

Hi, Chad, and thanks for the note! As you've probably noticed, that file is in the data/raw folder. As such, it's preserved in exactly the format we found it. But I believe that all other processed, tabular files are presented as CSVs.
