Changing data source to DSPH #41

Compromise on the dataset

With the ArcGIS endpoint unavailable now publicly, the library will now instead get all the data from the DSPH Google Sheet file to solve the unavailable source.

Take note that with the amount of traffic that the sheet file experiences, you may experience delay in extraction for up to ~5 minutes (as per checks).

Improvements

An alternative source is highly recommended to get the source from to speed up the extraction of get cases. Also, the DSPH Google Sheet is now organizing the output from DOH's Covid 19 data drop and the crowdsourced data has now stopped maintaining symptoms and statues. As such, supplementary data cannot come from said sheet.

For now, while we're looking for datasources to enrich this library, we will have to resort to this fix.

Closes Issue #40
