Israel data not corrected #196

Closed yuval-harpaz closed 3 years ago

yuval-harpaz commented 3 years ago

Israel's ministry of health (MOH) publishes data daily in a dashboard. The history is corrected all the time. OWID deaths for Israel seem not to consider these corrections. It is possible to pull the corrected data with a curl command from the dashboard. I'd like to help making OWID data for Israel up-to-date image

We are switching today to Johns Hopkins data, which should correct this issue.

if their source is csse_covid_19_time_series then they have the same spiky data, raw realtime data with no corrections. Is there a clearer data source for Hohns Hopkins? image

There might be a clearer source for Israel specifically, but our system cannot handle country-specific imports (there would be too many countries and sources for our small team to manage).

If you want to smooth the data, your best bet is probably to suggest the change directly in the Johns Hopkins repository.

okay, thanks

If you ever reconsider, I volunteer to do the maintenance for Israel. I don't mind taking other countries as well.
