Local COVID-19 updates
Feb. 10th, 2022 05:22 pm( Wall-o-text )
Deaths, cases and hospitalizations all down compared to yesterday, which is encouraging; three of the four seven-day averages are lower than yesterday, which is also encouraging. Percent-positive, in particular, is down below four percent, to 3.80%. Less encouraging: hospitals are still nearly full, with just over 8.1% of all non-ICU and 16.3% of all ICU beds available. Frankly, case counts remain way too damn high, even while they're trending in good directions.
The weekly city/town data also came out today; again, the trends are good but the numbers themselves still stink. If the state were still bothering with their risk color codes (they're not), it'd be down to "only" 248 communities in the highest-risk "red" category (with Boston notably being one of the forty no longer at highest risk). My own town of Acton remains firmly in the "red" category, as do most of the neighboring towns.
The town of Acton's current Google Data Studio dashboard is showing 30 active and 2,738 cumulative cases as of February 9. 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.
