A few weeks ago I posted about the .csv files I am producing that have counts of new COVID-19 cases *per day* for all USA counties. My code has been changed so it now uses the Johns Hopkins cumulative timeseries data instead of their daily files. In addition, I am also now using the Hopkins cumulative timeseries data to produce .csv files with counts of deaths *per day* for all USA counties.
These files are designed to be easy to import into GIS or spreadsheet software. The files also now include the county FIPS code so this data can easily be merged with other datasets that also have the county FIPS code.
To keep all this straight, the addresses for the .csv files has been tweaked as follows. The addresses for the March 2020 .csv files are shown below (data starts March 24th). To download data for other months, replace ‘03’ with the 2 digit code for other months.

There is an errata file on the Hopkins GitHub site where they make a note whenever they change the timeseries data. I plan to monitor that errata file so I can keep my csv files in sync. That errata file is at:

Reminder: Commercial use of this data is not allowed.
Finally, if you use these .csv files, please credit both Johns Hopkins University and Joseph Elfelt, MappingSupport.com
