Notice

Column names inconsistency

• Country_Region VS. Country/Region
• I decided to choose Country_Region as the column name because:
  • Slash / has another meaning in math.
  • Using _ will allow me to select entire words faster by double click.

Country names inconsistency

• Taiwan* VS. Taiwan
• Mainland China VS. China
• South Korea VS. Korea, South
• I decided to choose Taiwan, China and South Korea as the consistent name.
