Local COVID-19 updates
Jan. 3rd, 2022 05:46 pmThe state's fancy Tableau visualizer doesn't appear to be visualizing at the moment, but the raw data file is available, and it's not painting a pretty picture:
( Wall-o-text, covering 3 days, with 31k cases and 19.87% positivity )
It's the first Monday of 2022, and New Year's Day was Saturday, which means we have (a) three days (b) of really wonky weekend case data being reported today. The raw count of cases reached 31,184, shattering the old record of 21,397 set all of three days ago. Newly reported confirmed deaths were down (although Friday was New Year's Eve, which probably had some impact on reporting); tomorrow's deaths number will cover Saturday through Monday and thus will be as wonky as today's case count. Hospitalizations were up a bunch; today's 2,221 patient census is the highest it's been since 2,226 were reported on January 14, 2021. As for the seven-day averages ... well, holy shit. Average case counts leapt thirty percent to 12,300 (first time that's ever been above ten thousand) and percent-positive jumped another percentage point to 19.87%. Hospitalizations are also up, with a seven-day average of 1,901.
Basically, we're sitting at roughly triple the numbers from two weeks ago. And Governor Charlie Baker is doing diddly-squat.
The town of Acton's current Google Data Studio dashboard is showing 101 active and 1,768 cumulative cases as of January 2. The most recent "newsflash style update" at 7PM on December 21, 2021, the town reported 1538 cumulative cases with 89 individuals in isolation, 1417 recovered and 32 fatalities.
