Truncation in UK test positive estimates. about covid-rt-estimates HOT 6 CLOSED

Yes - add truncation = 123 to the dataset list.
Tangent: Should we also expose the 12 week number in the same way for completeness? it seems odd to have param for one side of the window but not the other. If so I'll pop open a low priority ticket.

Great - yes I think that is a good idea but as you say low priority.

This is now critical. Looking at the UK page it appears that Rt is decreasing for test-positive cases. We need to know if this is due to truncation or is a real signal. @kathsherratt any progress on data changes?

@joeHickson can you open a dummy PR indicating how to set truncation for just UK data sets (each one likely needs to be different).

Unfortunately, I am on annual leave until Thursday so not available but happy to make these changes/do the exploration if no one else has any time.
