Local COVID-19 updates
Jun. 13th, 2022 05:35 pm( Wall-o-text, covering 3 days of case data )
It's a Monday, which means three days of cases/tests data, which means day-to-day comparisons get even weirder than usual. That said, newly confirmed deaths are way up. Cases are way up, but cases averaged over three days are way down; in fact, today's 4,002 (while still too damn high) is the lowest Monday report since an even four thousand cases were reported on April 11. Hospitalizations are up, which is discuouraging; on the other hand, three of the four seven-day averages are down compared to Friday, with percent-positive dropping nearly a full percentage point (from 6.53% to 5.61%).
Comparing the seven-day averages today to those one or two weeks ago, it certainly looks like Massachusetts is starting to come down off the early May peaks of this latest surge. On the other hand, case rates are still far, far above the levels from a year ago, when the state (briefly) got below a hundred cases a day and a total hospital census under a hundred. So things are better, but nowhere near the same as good.
The town of Acton's current Google Data Studio dashboard is showing 31 active and 3,537 cumulative cases as of June 12. 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.
