When I run the line 'ilinet(region = "state")' it now only gives data for Puerto Rico and no other state/territory. I think this problem just started this morning.

I have noticed that this has occurred on several occasions. The package is pulling from the data behind FluView Interactive (https://gis.cdc.gov/grasp/fluview/fluportaldashboard.html). For whatever reason, the CDC has not updated the state-by-state data. I suspect this has to do with the Christmas holiday as something similar happened around Thanksgiving.
