US_pop_sampler          Samples synthetic points from US census
                        geographies (tracts or counties) with
                        probabilities proportional to population.
assign_dates_to_pts     Assign dates to synthetic spatial points
                        generated by 'US_pop_sampler()' using observed
                        COVID-19 temporal distributions.
covid_data_example      Example COVID-19 county case data
df_bg_example           Example Census block group population data
load_bg_data            Downloads the preprocessed 'df_bg' dataset
                        containing 2020 Census block-group information,
                        geometries, and population counts from Zenodo.
load_covid_data         Downloads the COVID-19 event dataset from
                        Zenodo used by 'assign_dates_to_pts()'.
load_synthetic_covid    Downloads one of the synthetic COVID-19
                        datasets stored as a Parquet file on Zenodo and
                        loads it into memory.
