Local COVID-19 updates
Mar. 5th, 2021 05:25 pm( Wall-o-text )
Day-to-day deaths down (always good) but cases up (not good); tests are also up, but by much less proportionately than cases. That might explain why the positivity rate is up; that's never good, even if the absolute value is still nice and low. Overall hospitalizations are down, but ICU and ventilator populations are up, and that's not great either. All in all, not a particularly great set of numbers to go into the weekend with.
Something I learned today, courtesy of this front-page story in today's Boston Globe: Massachusetts has been working on a mass-vaccination plan (based on public health departments) for the past two decades, only to throw the plan away in favor of outsourcing the effort once COVID-19 hit:
( private sector, yay? )
Follow the money, I guess.
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.
