South Africa data is wrong #978

15th, 17th March cases are wrong for time series as per:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_coronavirus_pandemic_in_South_Africa

2020-03-15 - 61 2020-03-17 - 85

How do I contribute to correcting the data as I'm using the time series CSV in a live graph?

I think you'll need to inform the central data sources. Check https://github.com/CSSEGISandData/COVID-19 for which data sources are used in this repo.

So making a PR would be declined?

This repo does not list an explicit source for South Africa data.
I presume that the data lineage includes another country's data pool.
The wiki page references source pages published by the South African gov

Unrelated but possibly interesting, the South Africa also list a vector of where the cases/people were infected

I think I'm going to have to capture my own daily South African data and merge the data streams for comparison.
