ECDC data for Italy is wrong #12

ECDC appears to be looking only at active cases for Italy, since the reported numbers match the left-most number in the ministry of health website: http://www.salute.gov.it/nuovocoronavirus. However, that number appears to only count the positive cases and not the deceased or the recovered cases.

Further, for March 16, only 90 new cases are reported by ECDC data which is clearly very far off. If ECDC does not fix the numbers by tomorrow we will look into a separate automated data scraping pipeline for Italy.

I verified other European countries, and they appear to have the correct data. For example, Spain's ministry of health website has numbers that match what's reported by ECDC: https://www.mscbs.gob.es/profesionales/saludPublica/ccayes/alertasActual/nCov-China/situacionActual.htm
