Yeah, kinda figured yesterday might be a bit of an outlier. Today's death totals supposedly cover the weekend, so not a huge surprise that they're up a bunch, nor that the averaged number is down. The raw case numbers today are down, but yesterday's count covered the entire weekend, and today's count (1,209) is more than twice yesterday's average per day of 544; that isn't encouraging at all. Hospitalizations are down again, which is encouraging; today's 394 COVID-19 patient count is the first time that number has been reported below four hundred since August 13, 2021. It's also encouraging to see all four of the seven-day averages down again.
The Johns Hopkins COVID-19 Dashboard is showing the US having reported 79,075,115 COVID cases as of March 1, 2022; however, new Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates based on commercial laboratory bloodwork sugggest the real count is more than double that, with 43% of the total population and over half the children having been infected at least once:

The town of Acton's current Google Data Studio dashboard is showing 13 active and 2,780 cumulative cases as of February 28. 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.
