Local COVID-19 updates
Jul. 12th, 2021 08:13 pm( Wall-o-text )
Nope, not good news. Cases are up a bunch - granted, this is three day of data, but the average is still over one hundred new cases per day. Deaths are up minimally, but hospitalizations are up quite a bit. Worse, we are now above the Lowest Observed Values on all four seven-day averages, and the trends are upward for all of them. Unfortunately, I haven't seen any news coverage mentioning these trends, so I have no idea how much attention the state is paying. I do know that the good folks at Covid Act Now are currently still showing Massachusetts as a low risk state, based on an incidence of 1.0 average daily new cases per 100k population - but they update their data early in the afternoon. I have a bad feeling that we're losing that rating tomorrow ...
