Local COVID-19 updates
Dec. 31st, 2020 06:39 pmThe state won't be releasing a daily dashboard tomorrow, so neither shall I. Ghu only knows what sort of statistical mess the weekend numbers end up looking like; today's numbers are depressing enough.
( Wall-o-text, with fittingly bad news for the end of a bad year )
Well, this stinks. Good to see day-by-day deaths down, but very bad to see an upsurge in cases and terrible to see positivity continue to climb. In fact, the 6,887 newly reported cases are the highest single-day count ever for the state; the only dashboard with a higher value was ... last Saturday, whose 7,424 cases covered both December 25 and 26.
The weekly numbers are mixed, with a drop in daily incidence rate but a higher positivity rate. Oh, and now we're up to 190 cities and towns in the high-risk category, up from 188 last week; Boston moved up into the high-risk category for the first time in a month.
The town of Acton's current Google Data Studio dashboard is showing 41 active and 536 cumulative cases as of December 31. The most recent "newsflash style update" at 9PM on December 15 reported 433 cumulative cases with 63 individuals in isolation, 345 persons recovered and 25 fatalities.
