#1104: [NE] Clear Confirmed Cases

State: Nebraska

We have been storing NE cases in the Confirmed cases field (as well as the Total cases field, where it will remain) because they call them "Positive Cases" on their website. However, there is no indication anywhere (or from our outreach) to clarify that these positives are PCR only, or that they don't include any type of probable cases.

#743: [NE] Backfill Total PCR Tests (People) to 3/27

Describe the problem From 8/12 outreach (https://covid-tracking.slack.com/archives/C010RFJ0ZD3/p1597273411010100), we have confirmed that NE reports total test units in people. Using screenshots, we can backfill Total PCR Tests (People) through 3/27.

Our NE data should be as of the previous day, however, as I began backfilling, I noticed that testing values were lagged by two days.

It turns out that on 5/14, we have positive and negative values from 5/13 (correct!), but we logged the 5/12 testing value (incorrect) -- it's weird because this thread from 5/12 shows them using the correct numbers: https://covid-tracking.slack.com/archives/CUQ4MMTPD/p1589312845314300?thread_ts=1589312845.314300, but somehow, that value got shifted

I'm lumping this fix in with this issue, correcting Total PCR Test (People) from 49799 to 53427 and moving 49799 to 5/13 and 48019 to 5/12. Then, I'll backfill through 3/27.

All values are taken from state screenshots

The timing of each screenshot was variable, so I went off of the values in the positive column as well, recording the corresponding total test value with the positive values we already had.

Death values are historically recorded in both the "Deaths" and "Deaths (Confirmed)" columns for NE. However, NE’s death values are unclear about what they represent, so they should only be recorded in the main "Deaths" field.
