France: still wrong numbers of confirmed cases (April 16)

[alfkoehn]

Number in database here: 133470

Number in other data sources [1,2]: 106206

27264 cases too much, probably due to also including potential cases (and not only confirmed cases), see e.g. the discussion [3] and an official statement [4], where it was promised to fix that (but nothing has happened since then).

I can't understand why nothing is being done when there are several pull requests supposed to fix several tickets open on this subject !

[alfkoehn]

And don't forget they promised to fix it (nothing has happened since then).

@alfkoehn Yes, the time series data for France since 4/4 are in large excess (about 20k-30k) compared to the correct official data. The probable cause is that the jhu.edu site itself shows the wrong data, and then everybody copies it.

Since they don't seem to fix it, you can just replace your data with this: 4/1/20,4/2/20,4/3/20,4/4/20,4/5/20,4/6/20,4/7/20,4/8/20,4/9/20,4/10/20,4/11/20,4/12/20,4/13/20,4/14/20,4/15/20 56989,59105,64338,68605,70478,74390,78167,82048,86334,90676,93790,95403,98076,103573,106206
