Instead of using default colors from matplotlib, assign colors to regions using a list of generated distinct colors.

What is needed: A function that takes arguments:

• n = number of colors needed
• (min, max) = tuple of min and max luminosity
• (min, max) tuple of min and max saturation
• return a list of hex rgb string values

With the pending changes at JHU data source, we have been using state/county data from USA Facts. Concerns with this data source includes:

• Data latency: Data seems to be delayed. Comparing our state numbers to media shows a significant gap.
• Data integrity: Found a couple of issues with extra info in the file causing trouble with pandas csv reader. Dropped unnamed columns addresses the issue.

Questions:

• Are others having issues with USA Facts data? @millerbarr
• Does anyone know the status of the JHU time series files? Are they expecting users to compile it from their posted daily case?
• Is there a better alternative for reliable, lower latency time series data?
