Description

The file train_COVIDx9A.txt contains data with the classes COVID-19, pneumonia, and normal.

However, the samples from sirm are instead labelled positive. Could this be a mistake, i.e. is COVID-19 == positive, or is there a difference between these?

Steps to Reproduce

$ curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lindawangg/COVID-Net/master/labels/train_COVIDx9A.txt -o train_COVIDx9A.txt
$ grep COVID-19 train_COVIDx9A.txt | wc -l
   15547
$ grep positive train_COVIDx9A.txt | wc -l
     943

I suspect this was an oversight on our end, but @mayaliliya can confirm.

Yes this is an oversight that must have translated from the VB train file, thank you for bringing it to our attention! Pull request submitted from our end for review: https://github.com/lindawangg/COVID-Net/pull/215
