It's not missing. They just changed the name from "Mainland China" to "China". I don't get why data sets are changing the structure over the past 2 days.. I recommend using Lat/Long for consistency (do a lookup based on Lat/Long)

Nope, country/Region is still "Mainland China" in time series data. If you go to the last column, you can check that there is no data available for 03/11/2020

@mainadwitiya , the 03/11/2020 data for China is available at the very end of the file, where the country name is called China instead of Mainland China

@FAGundum thanx I just saw it but still the timeseries is not updated for previous dates, it's messed up right now, the admins have notified that they are working on the dataset

The file time_series_19-covid-Confirmed.csv and others seemed updated. It is now just "China" (without mainland). It seems they roll Hong Kong into it, but kept Taiwan as a country with an asterisks. I am not sure if this is the final state of their fix. I should have kept a backup as a sanity check on if the previous dates are correct.

But just to see if someone can sanity if this looks right. I did a semilogy plot of a few countries and attached here. Italy is perilous close to China in terms of Active Cases, is this right??
