I noticed in the locations.geojson file that some of the coordinates are off -- 3 locations in Guinea are getting converted to [-104.798844, 39.87166390000001], which is in Denver, Colorado. Not sure how this is happening but will try to track it down as time permits.

          -104.798844,

      }
    },

Ah cool! @samccone++

How did they get there? Not sure what "blame it on google maps" means.

@ngoldman I do it in an automated fashion
via https://github.com/cmrivers/ebola/blob/master/processors/geocode.coffee#L14

so for some reason google maps decided to incorrectly geocode those locations
