Not a local COVID-19 update - yet again

Once again, the state's COVID-19 dashboard is ... delayed:

Due to system updates, today’s COVID-19 data report will be delayed. It will be published as soon as it is available.

Sigh.

Local COVID-19 updates (finally)

Well, the state finally recovered from this afternoon's "system updates".

( Wall-o-text )

Day-to-day deaths are constant, while cases and tests are both down. The continued drops in estimated active cases and the various hospitalization counts are definite good news, as are the downticks in the seven-day averages.

But I really do wish I knew why the state keeps on having problems getting the daily numbers out on time.

The town of Acton's current Google Data Studio dashboard is showing 5 active and 977 cumulative cases as of May 21, and has not been updated since. The most recent "newsflash style update" at 12PM on May 17, 2021 reported 975 cumulative cases with 6 individuals in isolation, 937 persons recovered and 32 fatalities.
