The seven day average positivity rate is 1.73%, compared to 1.85% yesterday. Excluding higher education, the seven day average positivity rate is 2.88%, compared to 2.99% yesterday. The number of estimated active cases was 30,062 (49 less than yesterday - down 0.2%). The state also reported zero newly reported probable deaths (2 less than yesterday) for a total of 322 and 40 newly reported probable cases (144 less than yesterday - down 78.3%) for a total of 30,846. Combining the confirmed and probable numbers gives 52 new deaths for a total of 16,118 and 1,468 new cases for a total of 581,148. There were 760 COVID-19 patients in hospital (25 less than yesterday - down 3.2%), 183 COVID-19 patients in ICUs (21 less than yesterday - down 10.3%) and 124 COVID-19 patients on ventilators (intubated) (15 less than yesterday - down 10.8%).
Of the four overview trends (formerly the Page 2 "key metrics"), the 7-day average of newly confirmed cases is 1,232.0 (54 more than yesterday - up 4.6%), 684% above the lowest observed value of 157.0 on 7/4/2020 and 81.0% below the highest observed value of 6,242.0 on 1/8/2021. The 7-day weighted average of positive molecular test rate is 1.73% (0 less than yesterday - down 6.5%), 124% above the lowest observed value of 0.8% on 9/21/2020 and 94% below the highest observed value of 27.7% on 4/15/2020. The 7-day average number of COVID-19 patients in hospital is 847.0 (26 less than yesterday - down 3.0%), 446% above the lowest observed value of 155.0 on 8/26/2020 and 79% below the highest observed value of 3,874.0 on 4/27/2020. The 7-day average number of COVID-19 deaths is 37.0 (same as yesterday), 236% above the lowest observed value of 11.0 on 9/9/2020 and 79% below the highest observed value of 175.0 on 4/24/2020.
Statewide, hospitals reported 9,240 non-ICU beds, of which 7,105 (76.9%) were occupied by non-COVID patients, 577 (6.2%) were occupied by COVID patients, and 1,558 (16.9%) remained available. Hospitals also reported 1,428 ICU beds, of which 856 (59.9%) were occupied by non-COVID patients, 183 (12.8%) were occupied by COVID patients, and 389 (27.2%) remained available. By comparison, hospitals reported yesterday a total of 9,281 non-ICU beds, of which 7,360 (79.3%) were occupied by non-COVID patients, 581 (6%) were occupied by COVID patients, and 1,340 (14.4%) remained available. Hospitals also reported yesterday a total of 1,436 ICU beds, of which 880 (61.3%) were occupied by non-COVID patients, 204 (14.2%) were occupied by COVID patients, and 352 (24.5%) remained available.
Two weeks ago, the 7 day confirmed case average was 1,483.0, the 7 day confirmed deaths average was 46.0, the 7 day hospitalization average was 1,293.0, and the 7 day weighted average positivity rate was 2.17% (or 3.53% excluding higher education).
The daily raw data file used to create this report is available here.
Day-to-day deaths and cases both down - but tests are also down, so there may be some bit of weekend reporting weirdness still going on. Drops in patient counts are great, as are the drops in seven-day average of percent-positive; less happy-making is another uptick in the seven-day average of newly confirmed cases.
The town of Acton's current Google Data Studio dashboard is showing 27 active and 766 cumulative cases as of February 25, and has apparently not been updated since. The most recent "newsflash style update" at 5PM on February 26, 2021 reported 766 cumulative cases with 27 individuals in isolation, 707 persons recovered and 32 fatalities.
