This finishes the work @DanielRobertNicoud started on #61. Which now will be closed.

hmm, it looks like google actually now offers a csv download https://www.google.com/covid19/mobility/index.html (https://www.gstatic.com/covid19/mobility/Global_Mobility_Report.csv). Might be a bit more of a robust/accurate dataset to go with that rather than scraping pdfs? (sorry @ManuelAlvarezC I know you have spent quite a bit of time on the pdf parsers...)

(and you probably know the linter isn't too happy... :wink: )

Hi @wwymak and thanks for the review!

I will start working in the changes right now!

And yes, it was a lot of work the parsing, but it's better this way.
