I guess this should work ok:
<hansl>
string site = "https://www.ecdc.europa.eu/sites/default/files/documents/"
string fname = "COVID-19-geographic-disbtribution-worldwide-2020-03-21.xlsx"
string URL = site ~ fname
open @URL --quiet
setobs Countriesandterritories DateRep --panel-vars
</hansl>
Works perfectly -- unless/until somebody corrects "disbtribution" in
the source filename!
