Adventures of a self-learning data scientist - Complaint to WHO, and memo to myself

Every morning, I update Covid-19, WHO situation report, and shiny app.

This morning, WHO situation report was No. 142, which I downloaded at 7:43 am, June 11, Japan Time. And its Table 1 was a mess. Check sum alerted me something is wrong. I found:

The numbers of Kosovo are not of Kosovo, but of Isle of Man.
Kosovo and Puerto Rico are missing.
French Guiana and Jersey are duplicated.

From the grand total, I know total new_conf of Kosovo and Puerto Rico is 139. I speculate 69 for Kosovo, and 70 for Puerto Rico. I have to correct them later.

Update: I re-downloaded No. 142 at 7:37 am, June 12, Japan Time, and found it was corrected. Thank you, WHO. It turned out that new_conf was 0 for Kosovo, and 139 for Puerto Rico.
