Extrapolation function broke down today #2

Hi,

We are using your script to run daily numbers at our company - just to inform ourselves.

Since today, the logistics function suddenly returns an overflow error. I am well versed in Python, but not so much in curve fitting. Any chance you can point me in the right direction?

Thanks for your work.

Johns Hopkins changed the naming of some countries some days ago. Those changes I've made in the covid19.py script found in my fork of your repo: https://github.com/ErwinM/covid19

Hi Erwin,

The overflow warning is for an intermediate estimate that doesn't get used; parameters that would result in an overflow are out of bounds. But the warning message is kind of confusing, so I changed it to not display the warning (365317308ffa9377b4c083c8a094c8b64b6b5ab6).

As for the country names, can you be more specific? I am aware that some names changed, but to my knowledge the current version of the notebook is not having any issues with that.
