edschweppeThe state's new COVID-19 Interactive Data Dashboard is down hard, with the following apologetic note:
Rises in cases and test positivity are never, in my not terribly humble opinion, good things. (Broken data sources aren't good, either, but at least that's relatively easy to fix. And, yes, that URL with "2020" is in fact the one the state is providing for today's raw data.)
The town of Acton's current Google Data Studio dashboard is showing 49 active and 544 cumulative cases as of January 3; it apparently has not been updated since yesterday. The most recent "newsflash style update" at 9PM on December 15 reported 433 cumulative cases with 63 individuals in isolation, 345 persons recovered and 25 fatalities.
PLEASE NOTE: Due to high volumes of web traffic, some users have experienced difficulty accessing today’s COVID-19 Dashboard. We are working quickly to address this issue and we expect to re-post the dashboard soon. We thank you for your patience.Meanwhile, I've been able to figure out at least some of the new spreadsheet format. No automated processing yet, but I can say that as of 5PM today, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts is reporting 60 new confirmed deaths from COVID-19 (down 43% from yesterday), 4,358 new confirmed cases (up 40% from yesterday) and 55,570 molecular tests (up 24% from yesterday). The seven-day average positivity rate is 8.50%, up from 8.42% yesterday.
