Modifications:

From the COVIDcast Epidata API: These signals are taken directly from the JHU CSSE COVID-19 GitHub repository without changes. The 7-day average signals are computed by Delphi by as moving averages of the preceding 7 days, so the signal for June 7 is the average of the underlying data for June 1 through 7, inclusive.
Furthermore, the data has been limited to a very small number of rows, formatted into an epi_df, and the signal names slightly altered.

Data dictionary
