[DSEW CPR] Verify that naat_pct_positive is in fact a percent or rename to rate #1575

Open dshemetov opened 2 years ago

The signal covid_naat_pct_positive_7dav comes from the column "NAAT positivity rate - last 7 days (may be an underestimate due to delayed reporting)".

This signal is a percent reported as a decimal, with values falling between 0 and 0.95. We usually report percentages on a 0-100 scale. I'm not sure if we should change the name to "rate" or multiply all the old values by 100. This source and signal are no longer active, so any fix would be a one-time change to the database.
