Hi @bnjmacdonald , could you please explain the meaning of the "EPOCH_DATE" in utils? I'm not sure if it's a date tag that needs to be updated. Thanks!

It's a fixed date that serves as part of a kludge for the grapher to display YYYYMMDD on the x-axis (instead of YYYY on the x-axis, as it was originally designed for). e.g. you can see it in owidTypes.ts. So this shouldn't need any updating until Grapher's use of epoch_date changes.
