They have decided to stop showing that graph of total COVID cases over time because,
I would assume, once diagnosed, the total can only rise or level off but never go 
down.  Also, the time period has stretched out since March, so, is the older data
important?  So, they show positivity rate -- which mostly is based on people who
choose to get a test done.  Is it lagging because it takes time to get results?
They don't say,  But, they are now showing "recent average daily cases", and they
show it like on a speedometer that goes from green to yellow to red -- but it 
doesn't show any history.  The heading doesn't make much sense, but a google search
implies it's probably giving the number per 100K, so that makes more sense.
