Missing county data in time_series_covid19_confirmed_US.csv #2498

It seems that some counties are assigned 0 while they should not. For instance, both Kings, NY and Queens, NY have 0 confirmed cases for all dates (which obviously is not the case and contradicts the data on the CSSE website). So something probably has gone wrong when reorganizing the data.

A zero count can mean that the data is counted elsewhere. In the case of NYC, the New York county includes counts of all the NYC boroughs...... Likewise the counts of all counties in Rhode Island are all accumulated in "Unassigned". Utah has injected some county-like proxies (Central Utah). There are undoubtedly undocumented accumulations and corresponding 0 counts.

So is it the case that the data in this repository is not exactly the same as the underlying data of the CSSE infograph, where Kings and Queens have their own separate counts? Thank you!
