@benubah, @christophsax can you please update readme file to explain how the data_all.csv file is created and used by the tracker? Currently the below is written, which is not true, since data_all.csv is used by the Shiny app.

The R package {FindCovTracker}, which powers most of the automated actions run via GitHub Actions, takes this data and writes processed/coronavirus_test.csv which is then taken as input for the final Shiny App.

Also, please add a section about the summary functions that create the grouped values.

Part of the confusion arouse because we had two READMEs:

https://github.com/finddx/FINDCov19TrackerData

https://github.com/finddx/FINDCov19Tracker

I merged them now. Everything is in the first one, and the second one links to it.

Also cleaned up and polished a bit, and added a minimal intro, a paragraph on aggregation and a paragraph on how we combine test data with JHU data.

Ready for review.
