Getting CDC data for Louisiana, Montana, and Nebraska all fail when getting the csv data (geometry = False).

Error appears to be coming from the call to readr::read_csv(), and may be caused by some issue related to downloading the file and saving it to the tempfile location. The error does not occur when I manually download the file in the browser and open the csv directly into R.

When attempting to open the file, R does not throw an error, but rather crashes immediately with a message saying "R encountered a fatal error", so this issue can not be fixed with a simple try statement.

One option to fix could simply be to check if user is requesting data for these states, and if so download data with geometry and pass to st_drop_geometry() before returning.

Other fixes will require a better understanding of what specifically is causing the bug.

1. When state has leading zero (AKA single digit) in FIPS code, causes error in validating the fips code when argument is given as a numeric rather than a character (06 vs "06"). Error says 6 is not a valid FIPS code because the valid code is "06".

Fix should be a minor tweak to check for single digit numeric and add the leading zero.
