Not a local COVID-19 update - yet again

For the second day in a row, the state is reporting issues with their COVID-19 dashboard. Today's notice reads:

NOTE: Due to technical issues being experienced by the Tableau hosting platform on all of their public sites, today’s COVID-19 interactive dashboard is only intermittently available. We are working with Tableau to restore full access as soon as possible.

Yeah, sure, blame it on the vendor.

Local COVID-19 updates

The state is still having problems with their dashboard, but I was able to download the underlying data file, so here we go:

( Wall-o-text )

Day-to-day deaths and cases both down, which is nice; on the other hand, they were up yesterday, which wasn't. Hospitalization counts continue to drop, and most of the seven-day averages are down compared to yesterday. (All of them are down compared to two weeks ago.)

The weekly city and town stats also look good, with only nineteen towns in the highest-risk category this week.

The town of Acton's current Google Data Studio dashboard is showing 16 active and 775 cumulative cases as of March 2, and has apparently not been updated since. The most recent "newsflash style update" at 5PM on February 26, 2021 reported 766 cumulative cases with 27 individuals in isolation, 707 persons recovered and 32 fatalities.
