KeyError when using the "state" parameter in jhu "get_new" and "get_total_confirmed_deaths_recovered" methods

[ada-k]

Hello, I'm trying to fetch data from JHU using the jhu class in data_retrival/_JHU.py. When I use the state argument in the methods get_new and get_total_confirmed_deaths_recovered, I get the error below. I've tried different formats for the state argument including: california, California, CA, CALIFORNIA, Calif., AZ, Arizona, Ariz.. I'm not sure what I'm missing, maybe someone can take a look.

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Sadly there are no US states in the global data file from the JHU. One has to download an additional file for that i.e. this.

Would take some time and additional logic to add the file to the data retriever. I will take a look at it at a later point in time.

Alright. Thank you for the timely response.

No problem! Thanks for your interest in our work. I will keep this issue open, maybe I will get to it at some time.
