Local COVID-19 updates
May. 23rd, 2022 05:16 pm( Wall-o-text, covering 3 days of case data )
Should I even bother with day-to-day comparisons on Mondays anymore? Or any other day, for that matter, given how much noise seems to be showing up in the deaths and cases numbers? Hospitalizations (which aren't affected by the state's weird weekend reporting patterns) are down a tad, which is nice to see. Compared to Friday, the seven-day averages are a mixed bag, although percent-positive dropping by better than a full percentage point (8.30% today, 9.59% Friday) is definitely good news. I feel a bit more encouraged by the fact that the seven-day averages for cases and percent-positive are both down from last Monday's report. But these numbers remain too damn high for my liking.
The town of Acton's current Google Data Studio dashboard is showing 39 active and 3,348 cumulative cases as of May 22. In 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.
