As of 5PM today, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts is reporting 98 newly reported confirmed deaths (55 more than yesterday - up 127.9%) for a total of 14,154 deaths, 2,781 newly reported confirmed cases (1,441 less than yesterday - down 34.1%) for a total of 491,642 cases, and 86,197 newly reported molecular tests (30,766 less than yesterday - down 26.3%). The seven day average positivity rate is 4.28%, compared to 4.44% yesterday. Excluding higher education, the seven day average positivity rate is 6.19%, compared to 6.34% yesterday. The number of estimated active cases was 74,595 (3,576 less than yesterday - down 4.6%). The state also reported zero newly reported probable deaths (1 less than yesterday) for a total of 290 and 337 newly reported probable cases (72 less than yesterday - down 17.6%) for a total of 25,610. Combining the confirmed and probable numbers gives 98 new deaths for a total of 14,444 and 3,118 new cases for a total of 517,252. There were 1,789 COVID-19 patients in hospital (89 less than yesterday - down 4.7%), 412 COVID-19 patients in ICUs (30 less than yesterday - down 6.8%) and 248 COVID-19 patients on ventilators (intubated) (7 less than yesterday - down 2.7%).
Of the four overview trends (formerly the Page 2 "key metrics"), the 7-day average of newly confirmed cases is 2,411.0 (226 less than yesterday - down 8.6%), 1,435% above the lowest observed value of 157.0 on 7/4/2020 and 62.0% below the highest observed value of 6,241.0 on 1/8/2021. The 7-day weighted average of positive molecular test rate is 4.28% (0 less than yesterday - down 3.7%), 455% above the lowest observed value of 0.8% on 9/21/2020 and 85% below the highest observed value of 27.7% on 4/15/2020. The 7-day average number of COVID-19 patients in hospital is 1,950.0 (46 less than yesterday - down 2.3%), 1,158% above the lowest observed value of 155.0 on 8/26/2020 and 50% below the highest observed value of 3,874.0 on 4/27/2020. The 7-day average number of COVID-19 deaths is 57.0 (4 more than yesterday - up 7.5%), 418% above the lowest observed value of 11.0 on 9/9/2020 and 68% below the highest observed value of 175.0 on 4/24/2020.
Statewide, hospitals reported 9,223 non-ICU beds, of which 6,594 (71.5%) were occupied by non-COVID patients, 1,377 (14.9%) were occupied by COVID patients, and 1,252 (13.6%) remained available. Hospitals also reported 1,483 ICU beds, of which 775 (52.3%) were occupied by non-COVID patients, 412 (27.8%) were occupied by COVID patients, and 296 (20.0%) remained available. By comparison, hospitals reported yesterday a total of 9,245 non-ICU beds, of which 6,665 (72.1%) were occupied by non-COVID patients, 1,436 (16%) were occupied by COVID patients, and 1,144 (12.4%) remained available. Hospitals also reported yesterday a total of 1,484 ICU beds, of which 762 (51.3%) were occupied by non-COVID patients, 442 (29.8%) were occupied by COVID patients, and 280 (18.9%) remained available.
Two weeks ago, the 7 day confirmed case average was 3,591.0, the 7 day confirmed deaths average was 66.0, the 7 day hospitalization average was 2,236.0, and the 7 day weighted average positivity rate was 6.45% (or 7.74% excluding higher education).
The daily raw data file used to create this report is available here.
Given the data glitch, today's day-to-day changes are ... mixed, at best. Newly reported deaths weren't impacted by the issue and are way up (more than double yesterday). Percent-positive continues to decline, which is always good, as do the various counts of COVID-19 patients in hospital. Things are noticeably better than a couple of weeks ago; but "noticeably better" is nowhere near "good". Meanwhile, two of Massachusetts's representatives in the House have announced they've tested positive for COVID-19: Steven Lynch, and my own Congressperson, Lori Trahan. Both reportedly have no symptoms, will be self-quarantining, and will be voting by proxy for the forseeable future.
The town of Acton's current Google Data Studio dashboard is showing 52 active and 676 cumulative cases as of January 28. The most recent "newsflash style update" at 1:30PM on January 25, 2021 reported 655 cumulative cases with 49 individuals in isolation, 575 persons recovered and 31 fatalities.

A technical issue delayed the reporting of almost 24,800 laboratory results (both positive and negative) which would normally have been included in today’s counts. This has resulted in lower than usual total molecular tests and new cases in today’s report (1/29). These results will be included in tomorrow’s numbers.
