The numbers in the chart seem suspicious. In two instances there is very clearly bad data because they represent maximum values for a 32-bot integer. Another one says 611 MILLION PERCENT increase for a population of 12 thousand. That doesn't make sense to me. Open the tab labeled Data Table for Wastewater Surveillance Percent Change in Last 15 Days

And sort by the last column

If it reaches integer overflow, the number is pretty damn high
