Local COVID-19 updates
Feb. 14th, 2021 05:16 pm( Wall-o-text )
Very nice to see newly reported deaths and cases drop while newly reported tests rise; hopefully that's an indicator that today's day-to-day case drop isn't due to weekend reporting delays. Also nice to see the seven-day average percent positivity ratio and the current hospitalization counts continuing to drop. Not so nice to see the seven-day average of newly reported cases going up, although it's not surprising given how the newly reported case numbers climbed all last week.
Still trying to figure out if there's an easy way to grab vaccination data from the state and add it to these daily updates; unfortunately, so far the state isn't providing the same sort of raw-data feed for vaccinations that they do for cases, deaths, etc. (Writing code to parse PDFs is ... painful, shall we say? And thus the folks who write those packages tend to charge money for them.)
The town of Acton's current Google Data Studio dashboard is showing 25 active and 717 cumulative cases as of February 11, and has apparently not been updated since. The most recent "newsflash style update" at 3PM on February 12, 2021 reported 717 cumulative cases with 25 individuals in isolation, 661 persons recovered and 31 fatalities.
