We are trying to reconcile the data from this chart

Let's look at week 36, as that's what @theosanderson used in his FOI request
whatdotheyknow.com/request/689515…
whatdotheyknow.com/request/689515…
From the data for week 36 (in the data report for week 40 here assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/upl…
the positivity data for week 36 is:
P1 cases 1096
P2 cases 14167
P1 positivity 0.7%
P2 positivity 4.0%
That's consistent with the graph

Those positivity figures are slightly different from Theo's FOI request, but that is to be expected as figures can be updated. I assume the latest data issue doesn't go *that* far back to be significant
What data do we have on people tested or number of tests carried out?
PHE seem to take on surveillance from the point of cases being recorded, and testing is done by NHST&T so we have to look there (I'm excluding Pillar 4 surveillance testing here)

What is reported on the dashboard?
Let's download the data.
Questions
- are we looking at specimen date rather than processed date?
- is this for England or the UK?
