Local COVID-19 updates
May. 7th, 2021 06:04 pmAnother day, another "technical issue" for Massachusetts' interactive dashboard. Today's notice reads:

Day-to-day deaths held constant; cases dropped, but tests dropped proportionately more, which may explain the uptick in the seven-day positivity average. The estimated active case count dropped again, and is down below twenty thousand for the first time since November 6, 2020, back when the fall surge was getting underway.

The data have been added to the raw file and the dashboard has been updated to include these data.The code I use to read the raw data file doesn't (currently) use that tab, so I didn't notice yesterday.
