New Mexico: July 16, 2020

We were previously calcaulating Negative (People or Cases) in New Mexico because our system relied on adding positive+negative to get total tests. Since this is no longer the case, we are removing the calculated negatives timeseries.

We used to store New Mexico cases in the Positive Cases (PCR) field because New Mexico calls them "Positive test results" on their website. However, there is no indication anywhere on the website, nor in our outreach to the state, that clarifies that these positives are PCR only. Moreover, reports such as KHN's have implied that New Mexico includes individuals with positive antigen tests in the figure. On December 27, 2020 we are clearing the Positive Cases (PCR) history to reflect that there is no evidence for this classification.

Shift time series by 1-day to match state reporting dates.

New Mexico clarified that they report in tests, not unique people. This shifts their time series to the correct column.
