Hi

i really like your project but you might want to check assigning the "altersgruppen" in

risikogebiete_deutschland/assets/python/update_data.py

ie. showing A00-A04 which in reallity stands for ["unter 3 Jahre"] +["3 bis unter 6 Jahre"] in the frontend is not easy to understand for users

;-)

The A00-A04 is kinda correct tho. This pandas dataframe you looked at is not for the new cases but for the population data. There is no other better data on it and also I feel like +1 year for the population data is a reasonable approximation.

In the worst case the increase for population would result in a smaller incidence for age group A00-A04. And decrease in the population for the age group A05-A15 would decrease the incidence slightly. On the other hand, overall population data is quite noisy and not updated very frequently so it should not make too big of a difference also there is no more accurate way to do it.
