Now downloading data for the whole of the UK, as well as the nations
Putting cumulative case/death numbers in the database, as the other data sources do
For some reason, the cumDeathsByPublishDate (and newDeathsByPublishDate) stopped being updated in October. I've switched instead to cumDeaths28DaysByPublishDate, because that has been updated. This causes a slight dip in historic numbers (this is deaths with a positive test, whereas I think the other one is based on death certificates), but makes the more recent ones accurate.
I've changed the filenames used when caching, to remove the special case for coronavirus.data.gov.uk now that we're downloading two files from there
I've also re-enabled ECDC, as it seems to have started working again. Note that the data hasn't been updated since December, so we still need to switch to a different dataset at some point.
This shouldn't be done until covid-policy-modelling/covid-policy-modelling#2 is merged
This fixes a few remaining issues with the coronavirus.data.gov.uk data:
