Add CSV file of date/infections for the state of Idaho

jennyfothergill commented 4 years ago

Sam, I'm going to reopen this because it's a good one :)

I've found a good simple data source for current csv dates and infections. It is the New York Times GitHub Repo: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nytimes/covid-19-data/master/us-states.csv

data includes all states, and extra data(deaths) so it would need a program to sort through it I'm not sure how to continue

Nice! This data looks good, and how convenient to find a csv ready to go! Recall that project 1 required you to read in and sort through a csv. Try writing a script that reads in this csv. The difference here is you'll be working with strings, which numpy doesn't handle by default. You could try using numpy's dtype function to tell the reader how to parse the data or you could try the csv module or you could try using pandas.
