edschweppeAs of 5PM today, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts is reporting 4 newly reported confirmed deaths (6 less than yesterday - down 60.0%) for a total of 17,544 deaths, 216 newly reported confirmed cases (39 more than yesterday - up 22.0%) for a total of 662,028 cases, and 40,091 newly reported molecular tests (11,061 less than yesterday - down 21.6%). The seven day average positivity rate is 0.56%, compared to 0.57% yesterday. Excluding higher education, the seven day average positivity rate is 0.79%, compared to 0.82% yesterday. The number of estimated active cases was 4,486 (249 less than yesterday - down 5.3%). The state also reported zero newly reported probable deaths (same as yesterday) for a total of 363 and 1 newly reported probable case (22 less than yesterday - down 95.7%) for a total of 45,912. Combining the confirmed and probable numbers gives 4 new deaths for a total of 17,907 and 217 new cases for a total of 707,940. There were 181 COVID-19 patients in hospital (12 less than yesterday - down 6.2%), 65 COVID-19 patients in ICUs (3 less than yesterday - down 4.4%) and 32 COVID-19 patients on ventilators (intubated) (6 less than yesterday - down 15.8%).
Of the four overview trends (formerly the Page 2 "key metrics"), the 7-day average of newly confirmed cases is 108.0 (4 more than yesterday - up 3.8%), 0% above the lowest observed value of 108.0 on 6/4/2021 and 99.0% below the highest observed value of 6,238.0 on 1/8/2021. The 7-day weighted average of positive molecular test rate is 0.56% (0 less than yesterday - down 1.9%), 0% above the lowest observed value of 0.6% on 6/4/2021 and 98% below the highest observed value of 27.7% on 4/15/2020. The 7-day average number of COVID-19 patients in hospital is 215.0 (7 less than yesterday - down 3.2%), 38% above the lowest observed value of 155.0 on 8/26/2020 and 95% below the highest observed value of 3,874.0 on 4/27/2020. The 7-day average number of COVID-19 deaths is 4.0 (same as yesterday), 0% above the lowest observed value of 4.0 on 6/3/2021 and 98% below the highest observed value of 175.0 on 4/24/2020.
Statewide, hospitals reported 9,170 non-ICU beds, of which 7,736 (84.4%) were occupied by non-COVID patients, 116 (1.3%) were occupied by COVID patients, and 1,318 (14.4%) remained available. Hospitals also reported 1,361 ICU beds, of which 907 (66.6%) were occupied by non-COVID patients, 65 (4.8%) were occupied by COVID patients, and 389 (28.6%) remained available. By comparison, hospitals reported yesterday a total of 9,214 non-ICU beds, of which 7,811 (84.8%) were occupied by non-COVID patients, 125 (1%) were occupied by COVID patients, and 1,278 (13.9%) remained available. Hospitals also reported yesterday a total of 1,359 ICU beds, of which 916 (67.4%) were occupied by non-COVID patients, 68 (5.0%) were occupied by COVID patients, and 375 (27.6%) remained available.
Two weeks ago, the 7 day confirmed case average was 310.0, the 7 day confirmed deaths average was 8.0, the 7 day hospitalization average was 324.0, and the 7 day weighted average positivity rate was 0.99% (or 1.51% excluding higher education).
The daily raw data file used to create this report is available here.
Deaths are down day-to-day. However, cases were up and tests were down; hopefully, that's just statistical noise rather than a sign of increasing positivity. The estimated active case count keeps on dropping, which is great, as do the hospitalization counts. The seven-day average case count ticked up slightly, but those for deaths, hospitalizations and percent-positive are all either holding steady or dropping.
The town of Acton's current Google Data Studio dashboard is showing 3 active and 981 cumulative cases as of June 4. The most recent "newsflash style update" at 11:45AM on May 28, 2021 reported 978 cumulative cases with 3 individuals in isolation, 943 persons recovered and 32 fatalities.
