Local COVID-19 updates
As of 4PM today, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts is reporting 50 newly reported confirmed COVID-19 deaths (for a total of 6,944 confirmed deaths), 248 newly reported confirmed cases (for a total of 97,539) and 5,852 patients tested by molecular tests (for a total of 605,771). The ratio of newly confirmed cases to molecular test results is 4.3%. The state reported zero probable deaths (leaving the total at 141), 110 newly reported probable cases (for a total of 3,624), and 885 patients tested by antibody tests (for a total of 46,565). In total, the state reported 50 new deaths (for a total of 7,085) and 358 new cases (for a total of 101,163).
The daily number of confirmed deaths ticked up slightly, but the daily number of confirmed cases dropped significantly, and the percentage of (molecular) tests coming back positive is dropping as well. Perhaps we're finally getting close to the point where stuff is under control. Of course, I'd feel much more hopeful about that if we weren't also in the middle of huge and growing protests against blatant racism in American society in general and American police forces in particular.
Nothing new from the town of Acton regarding COVID-19 caseloads; yesterday's report was of 169 cumulative cases, 39 individuals in isolation, 109 persons recovered from the virus, and 21 fatalities.
