I love the progress this repo is making, and I don't have an issue, but rather a question, which I hope someone here can answer: Is there a source in Germany for the data that the Dipartimento della Protezione Civile makes available for Italy? There are two parts, both of which are useful:
Breakdown of currently active cases into home isolated vs. intensive care vs non-ICU hospital.
The number of tests performed on a given day
I have not seen this anywhere, but it is so obviously important to gauge the progress of the outbreak and the effectiveness of countermeasures, that I have to believe that German authorities also capture this information.
Has anyone seen this reported?
Thanks,
Matt

I love how you focus on the data itself: where does it come from, where can get it, and how can we make it meaningful?
I agree that "number of people in intensive care" would be extremely valuable, yes!
The RKI said on Monday in their press conference that they cannot track this number. That was rather disappointing to me. I also read a DLF article on Wednesday (I think) that confirmed this statement... Again disappointing. But yesterday I was again browsing, looking for what individual states actually publish. I added a new README section to this repo: https://github.com/jgehrcke/covid-19-germany-gae#quality-data-sources-published-by-bundesl%C3%A4nder
In the current, incomplete list you can see that I already found some gold :-) -- Berlin and Sachsen actually list intensive care numbers. That's a super cool start! Let's keep digging!
The number of tests performed on a given day
This of course would also be a lovely thing to know. Yes yes yes. So, I didn't find much about that. But in one heute journal (Wednesday evening?) they said that (on that date) Germany had already performed more than 100.000 tests -- which I found quite revealing, to at least know the order of magnitude.
If we can get better data on that: that would be awesome!
