edschweppeAs of 5PM today, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts is reporting 8 newly reported confirmed deaths (1 more than yesterday - up 14.3%) for a total of 17,574 deaths, 121 newly reported confirmed cases (36 more than yesterday - up 42.4%) for a total of 662,665 cases, and 36,074 newly reported molecular tests (4,247 less than yesterday - down 10.5%). The seven day average positivity rate is 0.47%, compared to 0.51% yesterday. Excluding higher education, the seven day average positivity rate is 0.65%, compared to 0.71% yesterday. The number of estimated active cases was 2,967 (224 less than yesterday - down 7.0%). The state also reported zero newly reported probable deaths (same as yesterday) for a total of 363 and 10 newly reported probable cases (25 less than yesterday - down 71.4%) for a total of 46,045. Combining the confirmed and probable numbers gives 8 new deaths for a total of 17,937 and 131 new cases for a total of 708,710. There were 150 COVID-19 patients in hospital (21 less than yesterday - down 12.3%), 53 COVID-19 patients in ICUs (1 more than yesterday - up 1.9%) and 25 COVID-19 patients on ventilators (intubated) (2 more than yesterday - up 8.7%).
Of the four overview trends (formerly the Page 2 "key metrics"), the 7-day average of newly confirmed cases is 87.0 (10 less than yesterday - down 10.3%), 0% above the lowest observed value of 87.0 on 6/10/2021 and 99.0% below the highest observed value of 6,237.0 on 1/8/2021. The 7-day weighted average of positive molecular test rate is 0.47% (0 less than yesterday - down 8.0%), 0% above the lowest observed value of 0.5% on 6/10/2021 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 175.0 (7 less than yesterday - down 3.8%), 12% above the lowest observed value of 155.0 on 8/26/2020 and 96% 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 9,182 non-ICU beds, of which 8,021 (87.4%) were occupied by non-COVID patients, 97 (1.1%) were occupied by COVID patients, and 1,064 (11.6%) remained available. Hospitals also reported 1,355 ICU beds, of which 977 (72.1%) were occupied by non-COVID patients, 53 (3.9%) were occupied by COVID patients, and 325 (24.0%) remained available. By comparison, hospitals reported yesterday a total of 9,222 non-ICU beds, of which 7,982 (86.6%) were occupied by non-COVID patients, 119 (1%) were occupied by COVID patients, and 1,121 (12.2%) remained available. Hospitals also reported yesterday a total of 1,366 ICU beds, of which 951 (69.6%) were occupied by non-COVID patients, 52 (3.8%) were occupied by COVID patients, and 363 (26.6%) remained available.
Two weeks ago, the 7 day confirmed case average was 183.0, the 7 day confirmed deaths average was 5.0, the 7 day hospitalization average was 263.0, and the 7 day weighted average positivity rate was 0.74% (or 1.12% excluding higher education).
The daily raw data file used to create this report is available here.
The day-to-day changes are ... mixed, at best. Deaths are up, cases are up, and tests are down; these are all bad. On the other hand, the estimated active cases count is down again (below three thousand for the first time ever), hospitalizations are also down, and the seven-day averages are all either down, at their Lowest Observed Values, or both; these are all good. Hopefully today's upticks are just statistical noise.
The town of Acton's current Google Data Studio dashboard is showing 3 active and 981 cumulative cases as of June 10. (There have been no new cases shown on this dashboard since June 2.) 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.
