[Folder 2 - Lesson 7 - notebook-covidspread] fix incorrect indexing

[wangamber8-collab]

… entries

Update the slicing of the series from [2:] to [3:] because indexes 0-2 contains non-date metadata (province, latitude, longitude). The label "longitude" is included in the dataframe and appears in the plot. Additionally, drop the column "province/state" column before the function is called. This is because "province/state" contains non-date data that will cause an error when the function is called.

Pull request overview

This pull request fixes incorrect data slicing in a COVID-19 spread analysis notebook that was causing non-date metadata to appear in plots. The fix adjusts the slice indexing from [2:] to [3:] to properly exclude Province/State, Latitude, and Longitude columns, and adds Province/State to the list of columns to be dropped.

Changes:

• Updated data slicing from [2:] to [3:] to exclude three metadata columns instead of two
• Added 'Province/State' column to the drop list alongside 'Lat' and 'Long' for all three dataframes
• Removed trailing whitespace in the mkframe function

@leestott Hi! I’m a freshman and fairly new to contributing to open-source projects, so I really appreciate the feedback you left earlier. I’ve gone through and addressed all the comments and made the requested changes.

When you have a chance, could you take another look and let me know if this is ready to be merged, or if there’s anything else I should update?

Thanks so much for your time!
