Test open data availability #3

Go through THL open data page: https://thl.fi/tilastot-ja-data/aineistot-ja-palvelut/avoin-data

Test if this package can be used to retrieve the data. Tick the box if it works, write a comment if it doesn't. It might not even make sense to retrieve everything programmatically, especially tick-borne disease datasets under "Muut avoimet datat", but you can make the judgment there.

If the dataset is available from Sotkanet, test what the output looks like when retrieved from sotkanet API vs when retrieved from THL API. This may be important when determining future development goals for this package or sotkanet package.

You can divide the task between yourselves as you see fit. The default option is that both take 15, for example @arvitolvanen takes datasets up until Raskaudenkeskeytykset and @Allaht2 takes the rest.

Make notes about your tests - what works, what doesn't, what does the output looks like, was there anything unclear with the function and package documentation etc. You can use e.g. markdown formatting for this:

# My findings
## Akuuttien hengitystieinfektioiden sairaalahoito Suomessa
- is not supported by the package

## Varmistetut koronatapaukset (COVID-19)
- is supported by the package
- output is nonsensical

etc.

Save your notes for later development purposes. You can also post them here if you like.
