The seven day average positivity rate is 2.40%, compared to 2.55% yesterday. Excluding higher education, the seven day average positivity rate is 3.84%, compared to 4.08% yesterday. The number of estimated active cases was 46,413 (1,867 less than yesterday - down 3.9%). The state also reported 1 newly reported probable death (1 less than yesterday - down 50.0%) for a total of 308 and 134 newly reported probable cases (54 less than yesterday - down 28.7%) for a total of 28,460. Combining the confirmed and probable numbers gives 66 new deaths for a total of 15,424 and 2,083 new cases for a total of 555,895. There were 1,149 COVID-19 patients in hospital (74 less than yesterday - down 6.1%), 291 COVID-19 patients in ICUs (9 less than yesterday - down 3.0%) and 196 COVID-19 patients on ventilators (intubated) (16 more than yesterday - up 8.9%).
Of the four overview trends (formerly the Page 2 "key metrics"), the 7-day average of newly confirmed cases is 1,433.0 (79 less than yesterday - down 5.2%), 812% above the lowest observed value of 157.0 on 7/4/2020 and 78.0% below the highest observed value of 6,242.0 on 1/8/2021. The 7-day weighted average of positive molecular test rate is 2.40% (0 less than yesterday - down 5.8%), 212% 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 1,334.0 (44 less than yesterday - down 3.2%), 760% above the lowest observed value of 155.0 on 8/26/2020 and 66% below the highest observed value of 3,874.0 on 4/27/2020. The 7-day average number of COVID-19 deaths is 48.0 (1 more than yesterday - up 2.1%), 336% above the lowest observed value of 11.0 on 9/9/2020 and 73% below the highest observed value of 175.0 on 4/24/2020.
Statewide, hospitals reported 9,195 non-ICU beds, of which 6,963 (75.7%) were occupied by non-COVID patients, 858 (9.3%) were occupied by COVID patients, and 1,374 (14.9%) remained available. Hospitals also reported 1,467 ICU beds, of which 838 (57.1%) were occupied by non-COVID patients, 291 (19.8%) were occupied by COVID patients, and 338 (23.0%) remained available. By comparison, hospitals reported yesterday a total of 9,257 non-ICU beds, of which 6,954 (75.1%) were occupied by non-COVID patients, 923 (10%) were occupied by COVID patients, and 1,380 (14.9%) remained available. Hospitals also reported yesterday a total of 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.
Two weeks ago, the 7 day confirmed case average was 2,414.0, the 7 day confirmed deaths average was 60.0, the 7 day hospitalization average was 1,905.0, and the 7 day weighted average positivity rate was 3.89% (or 5.70% excluding higher education).
The daily raw data file used to create this report is available here.
Nice to see newly reported deaths and cases both drop day-to-day; the steady upward trend in newly reported cases between Monday's count of 1,276 and Friday's of 2,228 had been disconcerting, to say the least. The continuing downward trend in percent-positive is also encouraging.
The town of Acton's current Google Data Studio dashboard is showing 25 active and 717 cumulative cases as of February 11, and has apparently not been updated since. 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.
