Scraper class for general federal COVID data

Description

Federal data comes from an api that reports information for official federal prisons, private facilities contracted out by federal government, and rrc facilities i.e. recovery rehabilitation centers. RRC data does not have detailed facility data only a city location. Not mentioned here is the location data that is available for all facilities including information on the kind of facility like max or min security and sex of residents. At present we know that residents.confirmed is consistently lower than residents.recovered this is because federal only reports confirmed for the current inmate population.
