Hi,

first of all, thanks for your work and making everything available to the public!

For 2020-04-03, ECDC reports new cases and new deaths for Germany as 0, on https://opendata.ecdc.europa.eu/covid19/casedistribution/csv/. This may or may not be a problem. At least for the following day (2020-04-04), they report such a delta that it's 79696 total cases, 1017 total deaths on OWID and, currently, on their website. This corresponds to WHO Situation Report 74, which is for 2020-04-03, the day before! For 2020-04-04, the WHO has Situation Report 75, which has 85778 total cases, 1158 total deaths, which is exactly what the German Robert Koch Institut (RKI) is (currently) reporting (on their website).

For other locations, ECDC and WHO SR 75 are exactly in line (Italy, Spain, Switzerland, Turkey, Belgium, Netherlands, possibly more..) or are largely similar (UK off by 4 total cases, total deaths exact in line); ok, some seem to differ (France, China, ...). But Germany has numbers exactly as in SR 74. So, effectively a delay of 1 day was introduced.

This should not be due to RKI data being updated too late. (Website linked above says data from 2020-04-04 00:00 (CEST), updated on the web page at 10:10 (CEST, so 9:10 CET). WHO and ECDC both say their data is from 10:00 CET, so this should be in time.) But somehow the official RKI data about Germany get into WHO reports, but not into ECDC (timely), it seems.

Is this something that ought to be fixed? (I haven't tried to contact ECDC.) Or is this something expected / everything ok?

Thanks, Fabian

Seems to have been fixed on ECDC and OWID.
