Description
This is an amazing resource - thanks! I noticed that South Carolina has a "county" level for the data of "Upstate," but that's not a county but a region/combo of counties. They actually have county-level case counts on the state health department website now. Wondering if you could update and also add a note to make it clear that sometimes "county" doesn't exactly mean county (also an issue in Utah and Virginia, where actually shows health department region, which may be the best you can do in those cases, and then some metro areas like the Twin Cities, NYC, Greater Boston, Nashville Metro). Thanks!

Research direction
Review the current county-level data sources for South Carolina, Utah, Virginia, and the named metro areas, starting with the relevant state health department websites. Determine which areas have true county counts versus regions or metropolitan areas, then update the data and add explanatory notes where the geography is not a county. Verify that the revised geographic labels and counts match their sources.
