Local COVID-19 updates
Jan. 14th, 2021 05:49 pmOf course the state mucked around with their data formats again. Of course. (Obviously, somebody's manually updating that raw data spreadsheet.)
( Wall-o-text, and we're up to 229 of 351 high-risk cities and towns )
Today's data isn't entirely bad; day-to-day deaths are down a bit, as are the number of patients in the ICU, and the percent-positive rate. However, there's no shortage of bad news: newly reported cases are up again, the hospital bed availability percentage is down, and the state is now up to 229 out of 351 cities and towns in the red "high risk" category. Overall, the situation still stinks (even if things are worse elsewhere in the country).
I really wonder if Governor Baker is trying to silently ignore that "high risk" count; certainly, the fancy-pants new Tableau dashboard doesn't show that anywhere I can find. The state used to have a nice map coloring each town with its risk code (https://www.mass.gov/info-details/community-level-covid-19-data-reporting), but that appears to have disappeared as well.
The town of Acton's current Google Data Studio dashboard is showing 62 active and 596 cumulative cases as of January 12. The most recent "newsflash style update" at 10:30PM on January 13, 2021 reported 596 cumulative cases with 62 individuals in isolation, 504 persons recovered and 30 fatalities.
