This bot will periodically post the most up-to-date data regarding the COVID-19 pandemic. We will use this API, initially. This API uses data from Worldometer, which in turn is pulling from the Chinese National Health Comission and other undisclosed sources. I am looking for more official data, but it is not yet being made available in a convenient manner. Visit us at twitter.com/COVID_19bot
