genomics locations: can't get to a particular location

[flaneuse]

b117_nyc = getPrevalence(pangolin_lineage = "B.1.1.7", location="New York")

... if you know you want to look at the county New York, there's no way to access this info without going through the dialogue box to say Y/N.

b117_nyc = getPrevalence(pangolin_lineage = "B.1.1.7", location="New York City")

ideally, should be able to supply a location_id rather than just a name, and within the geo lookup function, to filter by admin level (e.g. look for name: New York + admin_level == 1

Similar issue as above. All my other queries for other locations work fine, but query for New York requires a reply to a console prompt and this doesn't work when I want to knit and render the document as html output using Rmarkdown.

XBB.1.5_NY <- getPrevalence(pangolin_lineage = "XBB.1.5", location="New York")

XBB.1.5_NY <- getPrevalence(pangolin_lineage = "XBB.1.5", location="New York")
New York, United States (state/province)
Is this a location of interest? (Y/N): y

@kevinmcdermott062 thanks for the comment. We agree it would be useful to be able to select a location based on an ISO code rather than a name. We plan on adding this feature but haven't had the bandwidth to refactor it yet.
