The seven day average positivity rate is 1.25%, compared to 1.32% yesterday. Excluding higher education, the seven day average positivity rate is 2.14%, compared to 2.23% yesterday. The number of estimated active cases was 16,685 (834 less than yesterday - down 4.8%). The state also reported 1 newly reported probable death (1 more than yesterday) for a total of 355 and 134 newly reported probable cases (51 more than yesterday - up 61.4%) for a total of 44,453. Combining the confirmed and probable numbers gives 14 new deaths for a total of 17,712 and 760 new cases for a total of 699,187. There were 428 COVID-19 patients in hospital (13 less than yesterday - down 2.9%), 114 COVID-19 patients in ICUs (3 less than yesterday - down 2.6%) and 76 COVID-19 patients on ventilators (intubated) (same as yesterday).
Today being Wednesday, the weekly data points were also updated. The average age of hospitalized patients over the past week is 55 (5 less than last week - down 8.3%) while the average age of deaths over the last two weeks is 70 (same as last week). The fourteen-day average test turnaround time (from sample draw to DPH report) is 1.34 (compared to 1.25 last week). The average daily incidence per 100k population over the last 14 days is 12.5 (compared to 15.9 last week).
Of the four overview trends (formerly the Page 2 "key metrics"), the 7-day average of newly confirmed cases is 507.0 (44 less than yesterday - down 8.0%), 222% above the lowest observed value of 157.0 on 7/4/2020 and 92.0% below the highest observed value of 6,238.0 on 1/8/2021. The 7-day weighted average of positive molecular test rate is 1.25% (0 less than yesterday - down 5.0%), 62% above the lowest observed value of 0.8% on 9/21/2020 and 95% below the highest observed value of 27.7% on 4/15/2020. The 7-day average number of COVID-19 patients in hospital is 448.0 (12 less than yesterday - down 2.6%), 189% above the lowest observed value of 155.0 on 8/26/2020 and 89% below the highest observed value of 3,874.0 on 4/27/2020. The 7-day average number of COVID-19 deaths is 6.0 (6 more than yesterday), 20% above the lowest observed value of 5.0 on 5/11/2021 and 97% below the highest observed value of 175.0 on 4/24/2020.
Statewide, hospitals reported 9,186 non-ICU beds, of which 7,582 (82.5%) were occupied by non-COVID patients, 314 (3.4%) were occupied by COVID patients, and 1,290 (14.0%) remained available. Hospitals also reported 1,373 ICU beds, of which 922 (67.2%) were occupied by non-COVID patients, 114 (8.3%) were occupied by COVID patients, and 337 (24.5%) remained available. By comparison, hospitals reported yesterday a total of 9,053 non-ICU beds, of which 7,038 (77.7%) were occupied by non-COVID patients, 324 (4%) were occupied by COVID patients, and 1,691 (18.7%) remained available. Hospitals also reported yesterday a total of 1,369 ICU beds, of which 883 (64.5%) were occupied by non-COVID patients, 117 (8.5%) were occupied by COVID patients, and 369 (27.0%) remained available.
Two weeks ago, the 7 day confirmed case average was 916.0, the 7 day confirmed deaths average was 8.0, the 7 day hospitalization average was 637.0, and the 7 day weighted average positivity rate was 1.71% (or 2.92% excluding higher education).
The daily raw data file used to create this report is available here.
Unsurprisingly, the day-to-day deaths are up compared to yesterday's zero day. Cases are also up, though, for the second day in a row, which isn't good to see. On the brighter side, the estimated active cases tally continues to drop, and the hospitalization counts dropped as well. The seven-day averages are all down compared to yesterday (once the missing average in yesterday's raw data file is accounted for) and compared to two weeks ago. The various "updated on Wednesdays" data points are a mostly positive bag; test turnaround time is up a bit, but the fourteen-day daily incidence number is well down, and that's good news indeed.
Now, if they'd only explain what the delay earlier today was about ...
The town of Acton's current Google Data Studio dashboard is showing 11 active and 971 cumulative cases as of May 11. The most recent "newsflash style update" at 6PM on April 27, 2021 reported 951 cumulative cases with 13 individuals in isolation, 906 persons recovered and 32 fatalities.
