US state totals are missing from time series data files

[JamesFrancisco]

In prior updates to the repo. Time series data for the United States was broken out by state. In the 3/26 updates, that data has been aggregated into a single U.S. data point, This reduction in available data makes it impossible to assess state and regional differences in the spread of COVID-19. This is a critical defect for data scientists trying to quantify regional effects and needs to be addressed as soon as possible.

Agreed. We were relying on this data to provide reports on the US territories that often get ignored and now have no recourse.

Please point me to US data. If you decide to split this data: global and country data, why do you keep reporting Canada by region?

I have built a derived dataset based on JHU dataset, where (among other fixes and features) I also aggregate the data for US at both state and country level, and merge everything in a single dataset for easy usage:

• https://github.com/cipriancraciun/covid19-datasets
• I have described it in this issue #1281 or the readme in the repo above;

(I try as much as possible not to change the format too much, mainly I only add new rows and columns.)
