| We import the NSSP Emergency Department Visit data, including percentage and smoothed percentage of ER visits attributable to a given pathogen, from the CDC website. The data is provided at the county level, state level and national level; we do a population-weighted mean to aggregate from county data up to the HRR and MSA levels. | |||

Mention that there are some difference that's significant; I actually got 4% of the data having more that .1 difference and I would also mention this to logan/daniel/etc as an fyi
specifically for hhs region 7 seems to be the least similar... at least in this run

Yea it's expected that hhs got wilder differences since the primary source signal values at hhs geo-level were 1. aggregated from state level data 2. using 2020 population weights, rather than something directly published by the source like the equivalent secondary signals for hhs geos. The public facing docs mentions this weighing already, but I'll update it and link stuff here with more info after the pipeline is in a good spot.
Description
Add 4 signals:
pct_ed_visits_covid_secondary,pct_ed_visits_influenza_secondary,pct_ed_visits_rsv_secondary,pct_ed_visits_combined_secondaryto nssp.These secondary signals are vailable at geo levels
state,hhsandnation.Adding 4 signals from this secondary nssp source dataset. They report essentially the same data as the main dataset, but only available at state level and above. However, it appears this secondary source updates quicker than the main source recently.
