Add CDC Monkeypox scraper #437

Closed smcclure17 closed 2 years ago

Add a scraper to pull in the cumulative Monkeypox cases reported by the CDC.

This ingests the Monkeypox data in the existing Covid schema/infrastructure without any distinction (beyond the variable name) which is something I think we'll want to clean up if we decide to further invest in Monkeypox data (see my comments below) but until then I'm not sure it's worth the effort.

Do we need to add this to the ACTIVE_SCRAPERS list?

Ah, right 🤦 thanks!
