Not a local COVID-19 update - yet

Thus saith the Commonwealth of Massachusetts:

Please note: today's data report has been delayed and will be published as soon as it is available.

Harumph. At least they could give something vaguely resembling an explanation why the report is delayed.

Local COVID-19 updates

( Wall-o-text )

Unsurprisingly, the day-to-day deaths are up compared to yesterday's zero day. Cases are also up, though, for the second day in a row, which isn't good to see. On the brighter side, the estimated active cases tally continues to drop, and the hospitalization counts dropped as well. The seven-day averages are all down compared to yesterday (once the missing average in yesterday's raw data file is accounted for) and compared to two weeks ago. The various "updated on Wednesdays" data points are a mostly positive bag; test turnaround time is up a bit, but the fourteen-day daily incidence number is well down, and that's good news indeed.

Now, if they'd only explain what the delay earlier today was about ...

The town of Acton's current Google Data Studio dashboard is showing 11 active and 971 cumulative cases as of May 11. The most recent "newsflash style update" at 6PM on April 27, 2021 reported 951 cumulative cases with 13 individuals in isolation, 906 persons recovered and 32 fatalities.
