The seven day average positivity rate is 2.55%, compared to 2.65% yesterday. Excluding higher education, the seven day average positivity rate is 4.08%, compared to 4.24% yesterday. The number of estimated active cases was 48,280 (2,064 less than yesterday - down 4.1%). The state also reported 2 newly reported probable deaths (1 more than yesterday - up 100.0%) for a total of 307 and 188 newly reported probable cases (49 less than yesterday - down 20.7%) for a total of 28,326. Combining the confirmed and probable numbers gives 89 new deaths for a total of 15,358 and 2,416 new cases for a total of 553,812. There were 1,223 COVID-19 patients in hospital (90 less than yesterday - down 6.9%), 300 COVID-19 patients in ICUs (4 less than yesterday - down 1.3%) and 180 COVID-19 patients on ventilators (intubated) (5 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 1,512.0 (101 less than yesterday - down 6.3%), 863% above the lowest observed value of 157.0 on 7/4/2020 and 76.0% below the highest observed value of 6,242.0 on 1/8/2021. The 7-day weighted average of positive molecular test rate is 2.55% (0 less than yesterday - down 3.6%), 231% above the lowest observed value of 0.8% on 9/21/2020 and 91% below the highest observed value of 27.7% on 4/15/2020. The 7-day average number of COVID-19 patients in hospital is 1,378.0 (42 less than yesterday - down 3.0%), 789% above the lowest observed value of 155.0 on 8/26/2020 and 65% below the highest observed value of 3,874.0 on 4/27/2020. The 7-day average number of COVID-19 deaths is 47.0 (1 more than yesterday - up 2.2%), 327% above the lowest observed value of 11.0 on 9/9/2020 and 74% below the highest observed value of 175.0 on 4/24/2020.
Statewide, hospitals reported 9,257 non-ICU beds, of which 6,954 (75.1%) were occupied by non-COVID patients, 923 (10.0%) were occupied by COVID patients, and 1,380 (14.9%) remained available. Hospitals also reported 1,456 ICU beds, of which 825 (56.7%) were occupied by non-COVID patients, 300 (20.6%) were occupied by COVID patients, and 331 (22.7%) remained available. By comparison, hospitals reported yesterday a total of 9,250 non-ICU beds, of which 6,920 (74.8%) were occupied by non-COVID patients, 1,009 (11%) were occupied by COVID patients, and 1,321 (14.3%) remained available. Hospitals also reported yesterday a total of 1,462 ICU beds, of which 845 (57.8%) were occupied by non-COVID patients, 304 (20.8%) were occupied by COVID patients, and 313 (21.4%) remained available.
Two weeks ago, the 7 day confirmed case average was 2,411.0, the 7 day confirmed deaths average was 57.0, the 7 day hospitalization average was 1,950.0, and the 7 day weighted average positivity rate was 4.28% (or 6.19% excluding higher education).

Well, foo. Newly reported deaths and cases up day-to-day, while the number of newly reported tests actually dropped; that's a bad combination. Weirdly, while the number of cases by day of report has been going up all week, the seven day average of cases by date of test has been going down all week. Not sure what's going on there; off the top of my head, I would expect both to trend in the same direction.
And, in a very sad milestone, the total number of confirmed deaths statewide has now passed fifteen thousand; if you didn't crack open the cut tags above, the grim total is 15,051.
The town of Acton's current Google Data Studio dashboard is showing 25 active and 717 cumulative cases as of February 11. The most recent "newsflash style update" at 3PM on February 12, 2021 reported 717 cumulative cases with 25 individuals in isolation, 661 persons recovered and 31 fatalities.
