Thanks for the report. I'm just re-publishing the data from https://github.com/CSSEGISandData/COVID-19 here so I recommend reporting this issue here: https://github.com/CSSEGISandData/COVID-19/issues
I reported your issue over there, copying across your comment and crediting you: https://github.com/CSSEGISandData/COVID-19/issues/1453
If you take a look at https://covid-19.datasettes.com/covid.csv?sql=select+*+from+daily_reports+where+country_or_region+%3D+%27Argentina%27%3B&_size=max you will notice that exists a record for date
2020-03-07
. The Argentinian goverment did not published any numbers for that date (you can confirm this at https://www.argentina.gob.ar/coronavirus/informe-diario).Also, I found that that some numbers are incorrect. For example, data from the dataset for
2020-03-09
says that are a total of 12 infected people:2020-03-09,Argentina,,12,1,0,-38.4161,-63.6167,2020-03-08T22:03:11
while in the official PDF file given by the Argentinian goverment (file:///home/edvm/Downloads/9-03-2020-nuevo-coronavirus-covid-19-reporte_diario_0%20(1).pdf) says that17
is that number.In this situation, we decided to read every PDF file given by the Argentinian goverment and maintain a new dataset, you can find it at: https://github.com/edvm/coronavirus/blob/master/dataset.csv
We created a small community which will be responsible of:
Every day, read the last day report given by the Argentinian goverment at https://www.argentina.gob.ar/coronavirus/informe-diario
Submit data given in the report (we created a small utility which updates the csv file (https://github.com/edvm/coronavirus/blob/master/daily.py)
We aim to have the most accurate possible data.
