Bad data for USA #8

Closed impredicative closed 4 years ago

impredicative commented 4 years ago

Bad data was returned for USA. Bad data is worse than no data at all. This corrupts the computed totals for the world too.

    "data": [
        {
            "date": "2020-04-01",
            "confirmed": 0,
            "deaths": 0,

                "name": "US",
                "province": "Recovered",
                "lat": "0.0",
                "long": "0.0",
                "cities": []
            }
        }
    ]
}

Please advise if it's the upstream data that's bad or a bug in the processing done by covid-api. Thanks.

@impredicative Hi, thanks for noticing, fixed. Seems it was an error in the data, but then it was fixed.
