Case counts and test data by date of report can vary significantly from day to day for a variety of reasons. In addition to changes due to actual changes in disease incidence, trends are strongly influenced by testing patterns (who gets tested and why), testing availability, lab analysis backlogs, lab reporting delays, new labs joining our electronic laboratory reporting system, mass screenings, etc.

Trend Line
Averaging method: averages are a moving 2-sided calculation that smooth unstable data. For each data point, five values are averaged: the data point, the two values before and two values after. Toward the end of the time series, when there are only one or two values after a data point, instead of averaging five values, only the available three or four values are used in the calculation.
