Local COVID-19 updates
May. 27th, 2021 05:56 pmThe state is providing plenty of advanced warning for this upcoming outage, at least:
( Wall-o-text - only one town in the red zone! )
Day-to-day deaths up (never good) but cases down (good), hospitalizations down (good) and estmated active cases down again (better still); once again, today's estimated active cases count is the lowest since the state started reporting that number. The seven-day averages are all either down day-to-day or at the lowest observed values; they're also all down compared to two weeks ago. The percent-positive average is almost at the lowest observed value (0.80% today, LOV 0.77% on September 21, 2020).
The city and town level weekly report shows continued improvement; only one town (Tisbury, on Martha's Vineyard) is in the red, high-risk category, while only 19 are in the yellow, moderate-risk category. This is a vast improvement over even four weeks ago, when the state had 173 communities in the yellow and 26 in the red. The state as a whole would have qualified for a green color code, had they actually calculated it, due to the daily incidence being all the way down to 6.1 average daily cases per 100k population.
The town of Acton's current Google Data Studio dashboard is showing 2 active and 977 cumulative cases as of May 25, 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.
Please note: The COVID-19 dashboard report will NOT be published on Memorial Day, Monday, May 31. The report published on Tuesday, June 1 will include two days of COVID-19 data.So figuring trends next week will be wonkier than usual. Noted.
