  I wrote a quick transformer in bash, because I know the language a
bit <G>.  There are six "hospital regions" in Ontario.  The CSV file
does all data for one "hospital region" April 1, 2020 to present,
followed by same for next hospital region, etc, etc, for all 6 regions.
My first step is to run dos2unix and sort by date, ending up with 6
consecutive lines per day, sorted by date.  Then a "while" loop reads
through the input CSV file.  Accumulators are added up for all 6 lines
and a line is written out for each date.  Because I'm doing bash
arithmetic, the data *MUST* be valid numbers, not ".".  So I *MUST* set
missing data to somthing like zero.  Adding "." to a number causes bash
to error out with a CSV file like so...

"2023-09-05","CENTRAL",5,2,152,6,3,1,1
"2023-09-06","CENTRAL",5,2,136,6,3,1,1
"2023-09-07","CENTRAL",7,1,158,8,2,1,1
"2023-09-08","CENTRAL",7,3,154,6,3,-1,0
"2023-09-09","CENTRAL",".",".",169,".",".",".","."
"2023-09-10","CENTRAL",".",".",169,".",".",".","."
"2023-09-11","CENTRAL",".",".",155,".",".",".","."
"2023-09-12","CENTRAL",".",".",147,".",".",".","."

  The magic incantation for CSV files is to set IFS to a comma like so...

oldifs="${IFS}"
IFS=","

  This allows parsing CSV files like so...

while read
do
   dataarray=(${REPLY})

...and, kaboom, you have a fully populated array from reading one line
of a CSV file.  The following "transformer" is my "parsehospicu" script
that summarizes the data to "hospsum.csv".  Note: I've deleted the
leading "shebang slash bin slash bash" line because the Gentoo mailing
list software doesn't seem to like "executable emails".

  I suppose I could have two different versions of the...

echo "${prevdate}...

...line inside of an if/then/else/fi construct.  It would depend on the
date being inside the "missing data range".
