Hi, I hope jumping right to a PR isn't skipping a process here. I've been looking over the NYT data and the JHCSSE data, particularly at the county level, and I am finding them hard to reconcile. I believe this is because they are trying to answer different questions. John Hopkins seems to be reporting governmental data directly whereas NYT is trying to add an additional layer of reporting and investigation on top. While I applaud that effort it makes it hard to reconcile with the John Hopkins data. Since NYT is US-focused only and this project is globally focused, I thought I would offer this PR to standardize the project on the John Hopkins data. |

The NYT data [methodology][1] differs from from the John Hopkins methodology. This change attempts to ensure consistency between the world data and the US data by using the John Hopkins CSSE data set for both. [1]: https://github.com/nytimes/covid-19-data#methodology-and-definitions
