Connection to https://www.datos.gov.co/api/... times out

[Bisaloo]

As reported by a PETs collaborator, and as confirmed on my side, this step:

pet-epi-notebooks/scripts/download_covid19_data.R

Lines 10 to 12 in de1e1c9

	url <- "https://www.datos.gov.co/api/views/gt2j-8ykr/rows.csv?accessType=DOWNLOAD"
	df_covid19_col_full <- fread(url)

fails because of a time out, at least on connections from the EU. I have tried increasing the time out limit to 10 minutes but to no avail.

trying URL 'https://www.datos.gov.co/api/views/gt2j-8ykr/rows.csv?accessType=DOWNLOAD'

In addition: Warning message:
