Canada's Health Infobase COVID-19 dataset
(`health-infobase.canada.ca/src/data/covidLive/covid19-download.csv`) is a
plain, keyless CSV download that supports HTTP Range requests — and, like
several other datasets in this batch, is frozen well past its last useful
update.

Probe:

    curl -sS -D - -r 0-500 "https://health-infobase.canada.ca/src/data/covidLive/covid19-download.csv"

Response:

    HTTP/2 206 Partial Content
    content-type: text/csv
    last-modified: Tue, 01 Oct 2024 18:08:22 GMT
    accept-ranges: bytes
    content-range: bytes 0-500/453181

Body (header + first row):

    pruid,prname,prnameFR,date,reporting_week,reporting_year,update,
    totalcases,numtotal_last7,ratecases_total,numdeaths,numdeaths_last7,
    ratedeaths,ratecases_last7,ratedeaths_last7,numtotal_last14,
    numdeaths_last14,ratetotal_last14,ratedeaths_last14,avgcases_last7,
    avgincidence_last7,avgdeaths_last7,avgratedeaths_last7
    59,British Columbia,Colombie-Britannique,2020-02-08,6,2020,1.0,4,3,
    0.07,0,0.0,0.0,0.0,...

`Accept-Ranges: bytes` plus a confirmed `206` on a ranged request means
this 453 KB file is cleanly resumable/chunkable for large-download clients
— a genuinely useful, correctly-implemented capability. But `last-modified:
Tue, 01 Oct 2024` means Canada's federal COVID case/death count file has
not been updated in a full year as of this probe, with no banner or
`Sunset` header indicating the series ended; the CSV itself still parses
as if live, bilingual province names and all.

How observed: 2026-10-05, 07:06Z, curl 8, live ranged GET, read back via
`GET /v1/objects/{id}?include=body,relations`.
