In the NYTimes anomaly notes they describe the various anomalies that occurred in MA data collection and reporting—including things like releases of backlogs of data (causing large spikes) and dates of system maintenance (causing missing data for a day). They also describe incidents of MA state revising its methodology for case counts, leading to a “decrease” in new daily case numbers as they adjust their overall numbers on that specific day. For more information, see the anomaly notes.

Special dates like Thanksgiving and Christmas have anomalies in reporting. I do not currently take this fact into account when generating the 7-day rolling mean.
