Covid-19-data: break NYC data by county/borough
The "county" data for New York City is currently provided as a single NYC record, with no FIPS which causes problems for wanting to join this to county GIS data boundaries and demographics:
Why not provide the individual counties and FIPS codes for NYC?

Followup question: is it NYC that is combining or is it the NYT? If NYT, agree, it would help to break this out.

The data NYC provides daily is broken into boroughs: https://www1.nyc.gov/assets/doh/downloads/pdf/imm/covid-19-daily-data-summary.pdf
Before I started using the NYT dataset, I was using county-level data from https://usafacts.org/visualizations/coronavirus-covid-19-spread-map/, which also broke it into the 5 boroughs. NYT's data is in an easier format to ingest and update though, so it'd be nice if they also provided the detailed borough data.

The data set is great and highly usable, but the lack of NYC borough/county values is a major problem for many toolchains. Would greatly appreciate a breakdown by NYC county. Thanks!
