some reason why RKI data is not updated since at 2020-04-08? #93
Comments
Hey @avila thanks for asking. First of all, the data are still being updated regularly :-). But I think there is a deeper aspect to your question which certainly deserves attention. You asked on April 11 and you saw the last data point from April 8. I updated RKI data today (April 14) and yet the last data point is from April 12. This is intended and good! Sometimes the RKI's ArcGIS system doesn't even yield data for the last 1-2 days. When it does then these data points are known to significantly underestimate the actual count ("actual count" being the official RKI count when queried a couple of days later). When one looks at the RKI time series data in their ArcGIS system today then it is reasonable to assume that only the data points up until When you want to see case count data then you should categorize your motivation into either i) I want to have a bit of a sensationalistic impression for what the current state is or ii) I want to understand as good as possible what the historical evolution of case count numbers was up until 1-2 days ago. A bit of a guideline:
