> Get latest stats for Coronavirus

## What this shortcut does

Fun shortcut which can be used to fetch latest CORVID-19 infection info.
Requires:
- Permission to access and write to a text file stored in iCloud Drive to save shortcut defaults and historical corona stats
- File needs to be located in shortcuts backup folder in a subdirectory "/Shortcuts/Corvid-19 Stats/Defaults.txt". This will be auto created if it does not exist.
- Permission to receive data from a few websites (which I have not investigated thoroughly). Data received is json text for raw data, and then URLs for flags and graphs.
https://corona.lmao.ninja/countries;
https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/;
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NovelCOVID
Allows:
- Setting a list of defaults (add & remove).
- Fetching and display of default list of countries.
- Custom selecting a single country to fetch data for.
- Fetch aggregated global stats
