Local COVID-19 updates
Oct. 13th, 2020 04:34 pmAs of 4PM today, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts is reporting 12 newly reported confirmed deaths (1 less than yesterday - down 7.7%) for a total of 9,413 deaths, 632 newly reported confirmed cases (133 less than yesterday - down 17.4%) for a total of 137,565 cases, and 13,744 new patients tested by molecular tests (5,057 less than yesterday - down 26.9%) for a total of 2,443,894 individuals tested. There were 42,116 new molecular tests reported (25,279 less than yesterday - down 37.5%) with a total of 4,857,515 molecular tests administered to date. The ratio of newly confirmed cases to individuals tested by molecular test is 4.6%, compared to 4.1% yesterday. The state also reported 1 newly reported probable death (1 more than yesterday) for a total of 217 deaths, and 117 newly reported probable cases (117 more than yesterday) for a total of 2,847 cases. The state also reported 107 patients tested by antibody tests (32 less than yesterday - down 23.0%) for a total of 123,089 patients, and 3,492 patients tested by antigen tests (3,131 more than yesterday - up 867.3%) for a total of 154,194 patients. Combining the confirmed and probable numbers gives 13 new deaths for a total of 9,630 and 749 new cases for a total of 140,412.
The seven day average number of newly confirmed cases per day is 600.9 compared to 588.0 last week (up 2.2%) and 482.4 two weeks ago (up 24.5%). The seven day average number of newly confirmed deaths per day is 12.9 compared to 16.1 last week (down 20.4%) and 13.1 two weeks ago (down 2.2%). The seven day average number of newly tested individuals per day is 16,176.9 compared to 15,836.9 last week (up 2.1%) and 16,374.3 two weeks ago (down 1.2%). The seven day average percentage of individuals coming back confirmed positive per day is 3.7% compared to 3.8% last week and 3.0% two weeks ago. (The above averages are calculated from today's raw data download.)
Of the Commonwealth's four "key metrics" listed on page 2 of the report, the seven-day weighted average positive test rate is 1.2%, 51% above the lowest observed value of 0.8% on September 21. The three-day average number of COVID-19 patients in hospital is 509, 68% above the lowest observed value of 302 on August 29. The number of hospitals using surge capacity is 3, 3 above the lowest observed value of 0 on September 5. The three-day average number of COVID-19 deaths is 13, 36% above the lowest observed value of 9 on September 7.
Day-to-day confirmed deaths down by one, but a probable death leaves the total level with yesterday. Confirmed cases are also down, but newly-tested people is down more, so the ratio grows ever higher. The really bad news is in the seven-day average case count, which is back on the upswing; as well as the state's "key metrics", which are mostly trending upward. The state is still far better off than during the worst part of the spring, but things are going in entirely the wrong direction.
And we get the town-by-town numbers tomorrow. Joy.

No question about it; the second wave is coming - assuming it's not already here.
