Why are there negative numbers in new daily cases #18

Closed dimarkov closed 4 years ago

Thanks for this repo, very useful and detailed data. I am trying to understand why one can have negative values for daily cases ('nuevos').

The problem that I am getting is that if one sums over all regions, and looks into national data, on 2020-04-24 one gets -10000 new cases. What happened there? And how should the negative values per region be interpreted?

Thanks for pointing out this error. It should not be negative, instead of that for each negative number zero should appear. I'll fix it asap.

I've changed the script so the negative values won't show again

Excellent! Thank you for the prompt response.
