Hi. Thanks for putting this together.

The response from https://covid19api.herokuapp.com/confirmed is returning invalid json currently. Specifically:

Error: Parse error on line 15322:
...": 0,            "3/23/20": NaN,         "3/3/20": 0,
----------------------^
Expecting 'STRING', 'NUMBER', 'NULL', 'TRUE', 'FALSE', '{', '[', got 'undefined'

yeah i think issue is related to the source https://github.com/CSSEGISandData/COVID-19/issues/1372 seems that they tried to add granulation to US data but messed the whole dataset. IT seems that now timeseries files are depreciated and will not be updated - they use different files: info here: https://github.com/CSSEGISandData/COVID-19/issues/1355

I've corrected the files to support the new changes in the dataset. Check the readme for more details.
