Wrong Values for Confirmed Cases #152

Closed bilafish closed 4 years ago

bilafish commented 4 years ago

Hi, there seems to be an issue with the values returned for confirmed cases. This affects the following API endpoints (mainly time-series data):

  1. https://covid19.mathdro.id/api/daily/4-13-2020 - Total summed confirmed cases = 2,019,320
  2. https://covid19.mathdro.id/api/daily - Total confirmed cases on 13 Apr = 2,701,542

As of current writing (14 Apr), the total global confirmed cases is 1,918,855.

It seems to be related to an issue as reported on the data source here: https://github.com/CSSEGISandData/COVID-19/issues/2167. They have since modified the affected csv files:
