edschweppeAs of 5PM today, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts is reporting 6 newly reported confirmed deaths (3 more than yesterday - up 100.0%) for a total of 17,602 deaths, 91 newly reported confirmed cases (20 more than yesterday - up 28.2%) for a total of 663,210 cases, and 33,510 newly reported molecular tests (6,452 less than yesterday - down 16.1%). The seven day average positivity rate is 0.35%, compared to 0.37% yesterday. Excluding higher education, the seven day average positivity rate is 0.46%, compared to 0.50% yesterday. The number of estimated active cases was 1,940 (60 less than yesterday - down 3.0%). The state also reported zero newly reported probable deaths (same as yesterday) for a total of 364 and zero newly reported probable cases (5 less than yesterday) for a total of 46,144. Combining the confirmed and probable numbers gives 6 new deaths for a total of 17,966 and 91 new cases for a total of 709,354. There were 107 COVID-19 patients in hospital (3 less than yesterday - down 2.7%), 32 COVID-19 patients in ICUs (same as yesterday) and 19 COVID-19 patients on ventilators (intubated) (same as yesterday).
Of the four overview trends (formerly the Page 2 "key metrics"), the 7-day average of newly confirmed cases is 63.0 (same as yesterday), 0% above the lowest observed value of 63.0 on 6/18/2021 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 0.35% (0 less than yesterday - down 6.2%), 0% above the lowest observed value of 0.3% on 6/18/2021 and 99% below the highest observed value of 27.7% on 4/15/2020. The 7-day average number of COVID-19 patients in hospital is 122.0 (6 less than yesterday - down 4.7%), 0% above the lowest observed value of 122.0 on 6/18/2021 and 97% below the highest observed value of 3,874.0 on 4/27/2020. The 7-day average number of COVID-19 deaths is 3.0 (same as yesterday), 0% above the lowest observed value of 3.0 on 6/16/2021 and 99% below the highest observed value of 175.0 on 4/24/2020.
Statewide, hospitals reported 9,110 non-ICU beds, of which 7,896 (86.7%) were occupied by non-COVID patients, 75 (0.8%) were occupied by COVID patients, and 1,139 (12.5%) remained available. Hospitals also reported 1,356 ICU beds, of which 966 (71.2%) were occupied by non-COVID patients, 32 (2.4%) were occupied by COVID patients, and 358 (26.4%) remained available. By comparison, hospitals reported yesterday a total of 9,139 non-ICU beds, of which 7,942 (86.9%) were occupied by non-COVID patients, 78 (1%) were occupied by COVID patients, and 1,119 (12.2%) remained available. Hospitals also reported yesterday a total of 1,350 ICU beds, of which 990 (73.3%) were occupied by non-COVID patients, 32 (2.4%) were occupied by COVID patients, and 328 (24.3%) remained available.
Two weeks ago, the 7 day confirmed case average was 108.0, the 7 day confirmed deaths average was 4.0, the 7 day hospitalization average was 215.0, and the 7 day weighted average positivity rate was 0.56% (or 0.79% excluding higher education).
The daily raw data file used to create this report is available here.
Day-to-day changes are mixed; deaths and cases are both up, but estimated active cases and hospitalizations are both down. The seven-day averages, on the other hand, are all once again either steady at or setting new marks for the Lowest Observed Value, and that's all to the good.
Particularly worthy of note, I think: the number of estimated active cases is now below two thousand for the first time ever (1,940).
The town of Acton's current Google Data Studio dashboard is showing zero active and 981 cumulative cases as of June 18. 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.
