New Jersey: March 17, 2020

The NJ dashboard has cumulative confirmed cases back to March 5 "by date reported to NJDOH", which appears to correspond to what we would call "dashboard time" since they match what data entry collects once our Positive Cases (PCR) column begins. They also almost match our Positives column. I've used those numbers to extend our Positive Cases (PCR) column from 4/29 back to 3/5. For now, leaving Positives alone.

Weekly backfill of NJ probable deaths using state-provided probable deaths by date of death time series. Total deaths recalculated from probable + confirmed (confirmed deaths are dashboard date). This updates historical data only; no change to today or yesterday since this backfill matches the recent NJ dashboards.

Updated New Jersey probables based on the revised probable death time series released on 8/14 (though dated 8/11). Our probables column now matches this time series and our total deaths has been updated to be the sum of our existing confirmed + the new probables. I've also extended our confirmed column back into March based on the assumption pre-5/3 total deaths were all confirmed.
