Missing new and cumulative cases for Czechia #547

Closed MagnusBook closed 2 years ago

MagnusBook commented 2 years ago

I'm using this data for some research, and noticed a big chunk of missing data for Czechia. It seems like both the new confirmed and cumulative cases remain at 0 until 2021-08-12, where it suddenly spikes to the correct values. See the table below for an illustration of the problem.

As far as I can tell, the new and cumulative cases columns are the only ones that have this problem.

It appears to be an issue with the data source. It seems to be publishing constant zeroes for the country data. If it's not fixed soon, we can just remove this data source and use the numbers from the WHO.
