Very nice deep dive into the data!

I find it very curious that many of the national curves have very sharp, flat-topped "peaks" of about a week's duration. Do you know of an explanation for this feature? I suspect that they are reporting errors, and it would be useful to know their origin and appropriate data-cleaning techniques.

I've been using ColorData for many years, and learned something new about it today: one can get the colors reversed directly with

ColorData[{"RedBlueTones","Reversed"}][#]&

Isn't that really a bug though? those should be equivalent no?

ColorData[{"RedBlueTones","Reversed"}][#]&[0.3]

would evaluate to:

ColorData[{"RedBlueTones","Reversed"}][0.3]

so then, they are the same?

Unless ColorData[…] is recognized in some special way of course…
