Describe the bug There must be something wrong with the /recovered endpoint, it always returns 0.

Thank you for your contribution!!' first issue

@spacecowb0y Thank you for raising this issue.

I think it is because the source data discontinued providing Recovered and Active according to this issue https://github.com/CSSEGISandData/COVID-19/issues/4465

Ouch, the issue seems bigger than I expected and isn't technical :/

nat236919 commented 2 years ago

Yeah, sorry about that. I think what we can do now is to ignore Recovered completely.

However, if Active is required, we can calculate roughly as

active = (confirmed - death) - *recovered *assume it will be zero

I think pointing this issue anywhere on the Readme and depreciating the endpoint (maybe?) is good enough.
