CSV files confirmed cases do not match dashboard

[wadetj]

For example for 04272020, Durham NC- dashboard indicates 702 confirmed cases, csv files indicate 555 cases.

Durham, NC Public Health shoes 712 cases as of April 28. The csv file shows 555 as @wadetj stated.

Another example is Austin, TX, where this dataset shows number of confirmed cases currently stuck at 12. Per Line 2537 in COVID-19/csse_covid_19_data/csse_covid_19_time_series/time_series_covid19_confirmed_US.csv

http://www.austintexas.gov/covid19 shows this number to be in the thousands

@asundaratx Austin, TX is in Travis County, and the value for that in the file you referenced is 1,464 currently. Austin County is confusingly not where the city of Austin is :)

@lojic Thank you for clearing that up! That explains the number dead I was seeing as well
