Local COVID-19 updates
Jun. 23rd, 2022 06:52 pm( Wall-o-text )
Day-over-day deaths are down by a bunch compared to yesterday; this makes me suspect that, despite what the state says on their dashboard, they lumped four days of deaths data into the Wednesday report this week (the second day of the week with a report) rather than the Tuesday report (which, courtesy of Juneteenth, was the first day of the week with a report this week). Cases are up slightly, as were hospitalizations. The seven-day averages for cases and percent-positive were both up as well compared to yesterday; compared to last week and the week before, they're both down; compared to last year, they're way up.
The state's city/town data is also out; overall, the state is doing better than last Thursday, but still has 138 towns (mine included) in the highest-risk category. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have updated their COVID Community Level maps; none of Massachusetts' counties are now at High level, and only one (Dukes, aka Martha's Vineyard) is even at Medium level; the other thirteen are at Low, courtesy of both case rates dropping below 200 cases per 100k population per week and new hospitalizations dropping below 10 per 100k per week. Most of the state still has high community transmission, though, so as far as I'm concerned, there's no reason to stop masking indoors. (I regret to note that, based on today's shopping runs, I remain distinctly in the minority. On the other hand, I also have successfully managed not to get COVID yet.)
The town of Acton's current Google Data Studio dashboard is showing 21 active and 3,586 cumulative cases as of June 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.
