The current updated dataframe df_all_data is storing the date as a string instead of as a date object because it was giving me errors when I tried to display the dataframe on the app user interface. It may not be a problem if we are just storing the data and then using it for visualization.
What needs to be done: Test out the app if today is captured as a date and then used for visualization instead of just displaying the raw dataframe (which is ugly anyway!). If it works, then we can just store it as a date, which would probably be ideal anyway.
