Local COVID-19 updates

I'm glad to see day-to-day drops in deaths, cases, percent-positive and hospitalizations; I'll be even gladder if downward trends continue past the weekend (with its typical reporting lags). On the other hand, I'm less happy that the total estimated active case count jumped upward. On the gripping hand, I can see a noticeable drop in the virus signal in the MWRA wastewater testing data over the last couple of days; hopefully that's a sign that maybe, just maybe, we're past the worst of that holiday surge?
In much less happy news, Massachusetts is doing much worse than most of the rest of the US at getting vaccines into arms, with just over five percent of the population having gotten even a first shot:
( throwing away our shot? )
Way to go, Governor. Spectacular leadership, there. </sarcasm>
The town of Acton's current Google Data Studio dashboard is showing 47 active and 652 cumulative cases as of January 22. 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.
