Local COVID-19 updates
Aug. 11th, 2021 06:35 pm( Wall-o-text )
Day-over-day deaths are down, but cases and hospitalizations are up again. Today's case count of 1,368 is the highest single-day count since the 1,392 reported on April 28, while today's 346 total number of COVID-19 patients in hospital is the highest since the 352 total number of patients on May 14. All four seven-day averages are up day-over-day and compared to two weeks ago. Not a whole lot of good news - except in comparison to places like Florida and Louisiana, I guess. (Based on today's data at Covid Act Now, Massachusetts "only" has 15.3 daily new cases per 100k population; Florida is running at 93.4, and Louisiana is worst-in-the-nation at 119.8.)
The town of Acton's current Google Data Studio dashboard is showing 10 active and 1,015 cumulative cases as of August 10. 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.
