Switch from COVID Tracking Project to HHS for hospitals data #22

Closed sacundim closed 3 years ago

The COVID Tracking Project is stopping data updates on March 7, and advising people to use HHS data. Which is a mess, but we can cope. This isn't nearly as straightforward as it should be:

  1. HHS puts out a both a weekly utilization timeseries that has the whole history and a daily dataset that only has the current day, and we have to merge both to get a full daily timeseries
  2. Older dates in the HHS timeseries have really bad data, so we fill those with the COVID Tracking data set.
