Back in July Peter and I noticed this pattern in the "hospital admissions" signals in Texas. Dmitry investigated it and concluded (1) it is already present in the raw signal we receive; and (2) in that signal it is only present in data from Texas but not from other states. The current signal (Doctors Visits) is from the same source. :-(
@dshemetov Did I remember your conclusions correctly? And did we ever file an issue about it? If so, we should link/consolidate them.
Actual Behavior:
When looking at the data from the Doctor Visits signal, it shows a weekly trend, similar to signals that have weekly reporting (where there is a spike at the beginning of the week).
Expected behavior
Roni and I were looking through this yesterday and didn't seem to understand why this was. Since this is a daily reported signal, we expected it to be much more smooth.
