Each bar is the 7 days ending on the date below it.

Case fatality is best read as a range: 48% of confirmed cases have died, 52% allowing for the delay between confirmation and death, and 65% of cases with a known outcome.

Estimates, not official figures. The 7-day windows end on 1 Oct, the latest day the reported total moved, because the source is updated in batches. How this is calculated.
