Local COVID-19 updates
Jan. 5th, 2021 06:35 pmWell, I've got my wall-o-text builder (mostly) working with the new data format. Now all we need is some good news...
( Wall-o-text )
Day-to-day, cases are down which is always nice, but deaths and (more scarily) percent-positive are up, which are bad. Also bad is the continued rise in hospitalization counts, and the concurrent drops in availabilty of hospital beds.
I must confess that the new interactive dashboard has some nice features; I particularly like how the user can actually see the definitions of these different numbers. It's also nice that the "overview trends" section shows information since the beginning of the pandemic. I do not like what appears to be a complete lack of versioning, especially for the front page values - I've yet to figure out if there's a way to have a URL to the report as of a specific date.
The town of Acton's current Google Data Studio dashboard is showing 41 active and 557 cumulative cases as of January 5. 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.
