No updates are available for Kaggle dataset regarding the number of COVID-19 cases

What we need to document?

CovsirPhy has two data sources, but no updates are available for one dataset recommended in the documentation. We need to revise the documentation to inform users.

Details

CovsirPhy has two data sources as explained in the following documentation. https://lisphilar.github.io/covid19-sir/INSTALLATION.html

1. Kaggle dataset In the early stage, CovsirPhy was developed using this dataset. Many thanks for SRK, the author!! However, this dataset has not been updated since 24Sep2020. This leads improper simulation USA, Greece etc. https://www.kaggle.com/sudalairajkumar/novel-corona-virus-2019-dataset/metadata

2. COVID-19 Data Hub We can download this dataset with covsirphy.DataLoader() class. We need to use this dataset for our analysis. Analysis with Italy records is shown in the following documentation. https://lisphilar.github.io/covid19-sir/usage_quickest.html

Thank you for your suggestion, @Inglezos !

Dear @Inglezos, The codes to download the dataset of COVID-19 Data Hub is as follows.

import covsirphy as cs
# Dataset preparation
data_loader = cs.DataLoader("input")
jhu_data = data_loader.jhu()
population_data = data_loader.population()

[Inglezos]

With these lines of code, the updated dataset of the "covid19datahub" team is downloaded and used, getting data from the JHU CSSE system. The CovsirPhy system should use directly and always as primary data source the "covid19datahub.io" source. Therefore, your kaggle notebook should be adjusted to reflect only this data source.

The kaggle notebook was updated to use COVID-19 Data Hub as the data source. Thank you!
