Bronx, Queens, Kings County lumped into New York County, NY #2620

In the raw, confirmed case time series data there are 0 cases reported in Bronx, Queens, and Kings County, NY. I noticed the case numbers for New York County, NY are much too high. After a back-of-the-envelope calculation based on the numbers reported on the interactive map, I believe Bronx, Queens, Kings, and New York County may have been summed and reported under New York County, NY.

The five boroughs of New York City (Manhattan, The Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island) are coterminous with New York, Bronx, Kings, Queens, and Richmond counties, respectively. I presume they are lumping everything into New York County because their official source is not reporting at the borough/county level within New York City.

If in fact they are now reporting the boroughs separately, would be nice to see a revision made here, as OP requested.

@mgorris Thank you for opening this issue. I'm not affiliated with the project in any way, but it helped me understand an issue I was having.
