Actual result: {"count":1,"result":[{"confirmed":16538023,"date":"2020-12-14","deaths":300777,"recovered":0}]}

Hi @afranck64,

Thank you for bringing this to my notice. This project internally consumes Johns Hopkins University's project and we depend on the data provided by JHU.

There is an open issue on JHU that mentions the details about the problem with the recovered data here.

If JHU is able to start the count again, this project will be able to show those values automatically.

Do let me know if you have any suggestions

Hi @backtrackbaba ,

Thanks for the information, i wasn't aware of it. I first thought about using another source for the recovery data in your script, but i can't find any usable source. Worldometers seems to have the data but they cite themselves as data source. :/

@afranck64 Hi. Were you able to find any other reliable source for total recoveries of US?
