  1. A five day moving average would be great to really see the trend of the infection

    I agree. Also, it's difficult to tell when statistics are cumulative over the whole time period going back months or if its for a specific time window.

    For example, I was looking for % positive tests in both the Laboratory Testing and in the Summary sections, where today it says we have 22% rate for PCR tests, and it looks like it's being aggregated over the week (because the previous collection period was 1 week ago).

    "Date of Specimen Collection: June 28, 2020
    Number of tests: 18,639
    Percent Positive: 22%"

    "Date of Specimen Collection: June 21, 2020
    Number of tests: 96,881
    Percent Positive: 20%"

    But then I see this below, which suggests that it is being aggregated over the entire time period data was being tracked, going back months, because it is for "all people with COVID-19 testing completed in AZ." Or maybe I'm misunderstanding it. Which is it being aggregated by, by week or over the whole time period since testing started?

    "Percent positive is defined as number of people with a positive test result, out of all people with COVID-19 testing completed in AZ."
