I would like to investigate this URL and write a Python scraper.

@kforeman , @szelenka , I think this is a better website to scrape for data from India -> https://www.mohfw.gov.in/ The WHO.int website also links to this MoH government website in their weekly PDF reports.

Are we allowed to update the URL in the scraping script?

Possibly, this list came from David at UW.

David's not on this github, but he is on the Slack channel. I'd suggest giving him a ping in the #parsing_team channel to gather his thoughts.
