Exposes US County Data
In #44 @sbonds requested the addition of US County-level data. He graciously opened #46 to show a proof of concept.
Later @bsmith1180 opened #62 showing another possible UX for displaying the data and @imichaelmiers commented that the John Hopkins CSSE data might be a better source over the NYT data.
More recently @aatishb made a suggestion on yet a third way of organizing the UX.
In this Pull Request, I combine the suggestion from @imichaelmiers on #62 to use the John Hopkins CSSE data (building upon my PR #78 where I first introduce that data set) with @aatishb's suggestion on #44 of introducing a drop-down menu for state selection to reduce the visual clutter.
I'm happy to take any and all feedback. This can be merged in lieu of #78 or after #78, or not at all. I have pushed this code to my gh-pages branch and the result can be viewed at https://bdarfler.github.io/covidtrends/
I like the overall idea. It looks a lot like what I first had in mind until I thought it would be interesting to compare county-level data across states. For example, how would I combine King County, WA with New York City, NY on one plot?
Can the states pull down be turned into a multiple selection option and have a county list from each (selected) one appear?
That's an interesting question @sbonds. However, I'd suggest this be a follow on request to keep this PR small and targeted.
