edschweppeAs of 5PM today, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts is reporting 60 newly reported confirmed deaths (5 less than yesterday - down 7.7%) for a total of 15,176 deaths, 1,820 newly reported confirmed cases (129 less than yesterday - down 6.6%) for a total of 529,255 cases, and 110,894 newly reported molecular tests (10,979 more than yesterday - up 11.0%). The seven day average positivity rate is 2.17%, compared to 2.40% yesterday. Excluding higher education, the seven day average positivity rate is 3.53%, compared to 3.84% yesterday. The number of estimated active cases was 45,916 (497 less than yesterday - down 1.1%). The state also reported zero newly reported probable deaths (1 less than yesterday) for a total of 308 and 62 newly reported probable cases (72 less than yesterday - down 53.7%) for a total of 28,522. Combining the confirmed and probable numbers gives 60 new deaths for a total of 15,484 and 1,882 new cases for a total of 557,777. There were 1,125 COVID-19 patients in hospital (24 less than yesterday - down 2.1%), 290 COVID-19 patients in ICUs (1 less than yesterday - down 0.3%) and 183 COVID-19 patients on ventilators (intubated) (13 less than yesterday - down 6.6%).
Of the four overview trends (formerly the Page 2 "key metrics"), the 7-day average of newly confirmed cases is 1,483.0 (50 more than yesterday - up 3.5%), 844% above the lowest observed value of 157.0 on 7/4/2020 and 77.0% below the highest observed value of 6,242.0 on 1/8/2021. The 7-day weighted average of positive molecular test rate is 2.17% (0 less than yesterday - down 9.6%), 182% above the lowest observed value of 0.8% on 9/21/2020 and 92% below the highest observed value of 27.7% on 4/15/2020. The 7-day average number of COVID-19 patients in hospital is 1,293.0 (41 less than yesterday - down 3.1%), 734% above the lowest observed value of 155.0 on 8/26/2020 and 67% below the highest observed value of 3,874.0 on 4/27/2020. The 7-day average number of COVID-19 deaths is 46.0 (2 less than yesterday - down 4.2%), 318% 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 9,145 non-ICU beds, of which 6,791 (74.3%) were occupied by non-COVID patients, 835 (9.1%) were occupied by COVID patients, and 1,519 (16.6%) remained available. Hospitals also reported 1,465 ICU beds, of which 817 (55.8%) were occupied by non-COVID patients, 290 (19.8%) were occupied by COVID patients, and 358 (24.4%) remained available. By comparison, hospitals reported yesterday a total of 9,195 non-ICU beds, of which 6,963 (75.7%) were occupied by non-COVID patients, 858 (9%) were occupied by COVID patients, and 1,374 (14.9%) remained available. Hospitals also reported yesterday a total of 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.
Two weeks ago, the 7 day confirmed case average was 2,427.0, the 7 day confirmed deaths average was 55.0, the 7 day hospitalization average was 1,858.0, and the 7 day weighted average positivity rate was 3.61% (or 5.29% excluding higher education).
The daily raw data file used to create this report is available here.
Very nice to see newly reported deaths and cases drop while newly reported tests rise; hopefully that's an indicator that today's day-to-day case drop isn't due to weekend reporting delays. Also nice to see the seven-day average percent positivity ratio and the current hospitalization counts continuing to drop. Not so nice to see the seven-day average of newly reported cases going up, although it's not surprising given how the newly reported case numbers climbed all last week.
Still trying to figure out if there's an easy way to grab vaccination data from the state and add it to these daily updates; unfortunately, so far the state isn't providing the same sort of raw-data feed for vaccinations that they do for cases, deaths, etc. (Writing code to parse PDFs is ... painful, shall we say? And thus the folks who write those packages tend to charge money for them.)
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.
