Local COVID-19 updates

Well, this stinks. Deaths ticked up slightly, but cases and hospitalizations are up by more, and the seven-day averages for cases, percent-positive, and hospitalizations are all up. In further unpleasant news (see below), my own town of Acton reported three new cases - the first such cases for over a month.
On the Covid Act Now site, Massachusetts jumped all the way from green (low-risk) on June 12 to orange (high risk) today, courtesy of both a seven-day incidence rate of 2.1 (double the June 12 number) and a calculated infection rate of 1.31. That, frankly, sucks.
The town of Acton's current Google Data Studio dashboard is showing 3 active and 984 cumulative cases as of July 14. There hadn't been any new cases reported since June 2, over a month ago. The most recent "newsflash style update" at 11:45AM on May 28, 2021 reported 978 cumulative cases with 3 individuals in isolation, 943 persons recovered and 32 fatalities.
