- Write a script that downloads and converts raw data into a dict of lists of lists {'<country>': [['2020-03-20', 1, 0,
...], ['2020-03-21', 2, 0, ...]]}
- Columns: [time, cases, deaths, hospitalized, ICU, recovered]
- **Important:** all columns must be cumulative data.
- The time column **must** be a string formatted as `YYYY-MM-DD`
- **Important:** cases, deaths, and recovered have to be cumulative counts. The fields hospitalized and ICU should refer to current number of patients.
- The time column **must** be a string formatted as `YYYY-MM-DD`

- If data is missing, please leave the entry empty (i.e., ['2020-03-20',1, None, None, ...])
- Use the store_data() function in utils to store the data into .tsv automatically
