For some dates (example: 2021-01-01) the number of hospitalized people in Australia is a floating point number (20.44 on 2021-01-01), which broke my import. Could you check that or give me an explanation what this floating point number means?

Thanks @MinerMax555! I notified the data curator for Australia to better understand this issue

This was due to limitations of some data sources requiring calculations and has been fixed by rounding to the nearest integer. For more info, see https://github.com/M3IT/COVID-19_Data/issues/9

@MinerMax555 and @M3IT

Thanks both for your help! I confirm this is fixed now.
