Adding a local copy of the dataset. In order to protect us in case the Réseau Sentinelles Web server disappears or is modified, we make a local copy of this dataset that we store together with our analysis. It is unnecessary and even risky to download the data at each execution, because in case of a malfunction we might be replacing our file by a corrupted version. Therefore we download the data only if no local copy exists.

data_file = "syndrome-grippal.csv"
if (!file.exists(data_file)) {
download.file(data_url, data_file, method="auto")
}
