The NYT spent more effort patting themselves on the back than they did compiling the data.

Their data is of higher quality than upstream sources like the Johns Hopkins CSSE set. Notably, it's in long-form (one record per day per area) instead of wide-form and the schema is consistent.

This takes some know-how and a bunch of ETL effort. There is significant value in their transformation of upstream data.

That map looks good from a global level, but when you zoom in, it kind of falls down.

For example, two towns in my state have confirmed cases, are ported by the state health authorities and the local newspapers, but neither is on that map.

usafacts.org has daily county data from 1/23 forward.
