Time Series Africa Data (Death and Recovered) about covid19africa HOT 5 CLOSED

I agree. We should add deaths, recovered, and even tests performed within 24 hours. Most countries report that data daily in aggregate. There is so many places we can look for these data.
Here's some:
For cases, deaths, recovered: WHO daily brief, JHU cases data, Worldometer
For tests performed: Worldometer
See this on how they sourced African-only data from the JHU csvs: BBC Coronavirus in Africa Tracker

I just want to know what the naming convention should be, that of Confirmed cases is who_covid_19_sit_rep_time_series_africa.csv, what should that for deaths, recovered and test be?

The are two ways to do this:

1. create new file for each of the things to track: cases, death, recovered, tests, etc. If you choose this option, I suggest to use a different naming convention that is more intuitive such as africa_daily_time_series_cases.csv, africa_daily_time_series_deaths.csv, africa_daily_time_series_recovered.csv, africa_daily_time_series_tests.csv

2. on the current existing file, add rows for each things to track. For example the current file has 44 rows (could expand to all 54 countries), you can add another 44 rows at the bottom for deaths, another 44 for recovered etc...

Note: the current file naming was to refer the source is the WHO situational daily report.
