  # Start the server But for some reason it didn't appear to stream out the response - it would print this out: % datasette covid.db --get '/covid/ny_times_us_counties.csv?_size=10&_stream=on' _run_get async with as client ``` And then hang. I would expect it to start printing out chunks of CSV data here, but instead it looks like it waited for everything to be generated before returning anything to the console.

No idea why. I dropped this for the moment.
