Do you plan to update and maintain the deaths column values?

@lsylvain, I don't think you're looking at the data correctly -- the deaths are there.
In the early data, the deaths are zero. This changes as time goes forward.
In the county data, even now (thankfully), many/most counties have zero deaths.

Here's an animation I put together from the latest county data. The red is cases and the yellow is deaths (you might need to open the image in a new tab to get a black background so that you can see the yellow):

@lsylvain, the deaths like cases is cumulative in the column.

Thanks @BrentBradburn @aanand08, you are correct.

@lsylvain please check again and if there are specific 0s you are concerned about re-open and let us know.
