Would be great to get an answer on this one.
Looking at the ReadMe located at the root of the csse_covid_19_data folder, I offer the following:
Hi, this issue is very big, while trying to do some synthesis with this datasets, you ll see that at least the global datasets mixes cumulative (italy for example) values with daily values (france for example) , this makes it impossible to automate some stats. https://github.com/CSSEGISandData/COVID-19/blob/master/csse_covid_19_data/csse_covid_19_time_series/time_series_covid19_deaths_global.csv is it a caveat from the source of information, or the way you collect it ? regards.
When I click on time_series_covid19_confirmed_US.csv, my screen shows a data coma delimiter information, not a table as the Global data. I looked at the first row, Alabama, all zeros except that at one point is 3 and the next day is 1 and the rest is zero. If the data is cumulative Confirmed cases, Alabama should be one day 3, next day 4 (3+1) and the rest of them should be 4.
The first line, Alabama, is not the only place where this is happening.
Unless the data is daily confirmed cases, which is different as it has been all this time, and it is now for Global.
