The state added antigen probable cases. Backfill the probables and adjust positives with both confirmed and the new probables.

Updated entire probables and total deaths columns for NJ based on its routine weekly release of probable deaths. There's no change to the last two days, just minor updates to historical data.

Weekly backfill of NJ probable deaths, updating total deaths as well. This is actually for two weeks since we skipped last week after they took an unusually long time to provide the "weekly" data update.

As usual, NJ has updated their probable death time series this week. The data runs through Tuesday but was only released on Thursday (9/3). When they do this, we replace our probable deaths column with their time series and update total deaths to be daily sum of our existing confirmed column plus the new probables.

Our weekly backfill of NJ's probable deaths time series, including updating the total deaths to account for the modified probables data. This removes an apparent drop in NJ total deaths on 8/26.

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.

Since 5/11. NJ has been reporting tests in "tests" units, but CTP has been capturing them in the "people" column. This moves all the values from 5/11-8/16 from "Total Tests PCR (People)" column to "Total Tests (PCR)" column
