Build population out of JHU CSSE table #47

Closed davidbau closed 4 years ago

CSSE added a population column in this table a few days ago; we should use it as our source for population.js instead of CDS

Note that this table doesn't sum the population of the boroughs of NYC into manhattan, so we will still need to do that to match the the granularity of how covid numbers are reported.

We should do a scan for other high-population zero rows of the CSSE data to see if there are other similar issues in other cities.
