The best resource for case numbers, IMO, is https://flutrackers.com/forum/.

I could not find any downloadable corona data at their website. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong area?

Here is a thread with a compilation based on their tracking: https://flutrackers.com/forum/forum/-2019-ncov-new-coronavirus/united-states-2019-ncov/826435-cdc-case-counts-us-15-000-cases-245-fatalities-as-of-march-20-2020/page8#post839319

I don’t know if that’s helpful for what you are doing.

Thanks for the link and your kind assistance. I'm looking for raw data files I can pull down daily.

I've got an email request to https://coronavirus.1point3acres.com/#stat. I'm waiting to see if they will allow me access. JHU has the data in the detail I need, but as you can see below, the numbers are almost double the average.

I've discovered that our CDC data is not to be trusted. The most accurate data appears to be that which is created by volunteers compiling news and state reports from around the world.

Example of variations in the data:

CDC website 201
Worldofmeters: 263
EU: 150
JHU: 250
JHU by province: 112
JHU raw data after corrected WA: 451
1point3acres.com: 262
