edschweppeAs of 5PM today, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts is reporting 2 newly reported confirmed deaths (1 more than yesterday - up 100.0%) for a total of 17,628 deaths, 41 newly reported confirmed cases (10 more than yesterday - up 32.3%) for a total of 663,666 cases, and 13,665 newly reported molecular tests (7,639 less than yesterday - down 35.9%). The seven day average positivity rate is 0.29%, compared to 0.29% yesterday. Excluding higher education, the seven day average positivity rate is 0.40%, compared to 0.39% yesterday. The number of estimated active cases was 1,422 (10 less than yesterday - down 0.7%). The state also reported zero newly reported probable deaths (same as yesterday) for a total of 364 and zero newly reported probable cases (same as yesterday) for a total of 46,144. Combining the confirmed and probable numbers gives 2 new deaths for a total of 17,992 and 41 new cases for a total of 709,810. There were 95 COVID-19 patients in hospital (1 less than yesterday - down 1.0%), 31 COVID-19 patients in ICUs (5 more than yesterday - up 19.2%) and 11 COVID-19 patients on ventilators (intubated) (1 more than yesterday - up 10.0%).
Of the four overview trends (formerly the Page 2 "key metrics"), the 7-day average of newly confirmed cases is 55.0 (2 more than yesterday - up 3.8%), 0% above the lowest observed value of 55.0 on 6/27/2021 and 100.0% below the highest observed value of 6,236.0 on 1/8/2021. The 7-day weighted average of positive molecular test rate is 0.29% (0 more than yesterday - up 1.6%), 0% above the lowest observed value of 0.3% on 6/27/2021 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 98.0 (1 less than yesterday - down 1.0%), 0% above the lowest observed value of 98.0 on 6/27/2021 and 98% below the highest observed value of 3,874.0 on 4/27/2020. The 7-day average number of COVID-19 deaths is 2.0 (same as yesterday), 0% above the lowest observed value of 2.0 on 6/25/2021 and 99% below the highest observed value of 175.0 on 4/24/2020.
Statewide, hospitals reported 8,968 non-ICU beds, of which 7,276 (81.1%) were occupied by non-COVID patients, 64 (0.7%) were occupied by COVID patients, and 1,628 (18.2%) remained available. Hospitals also reported 1,349 ICU beds, of which 898 (66.6%) were occupied by non-COVID patients, 31 (2.3%) were occupied by COVID patients, and 420 (31.1%) remained available. By comparison, hospitals reported yesterday a total of 9,003 non-ICU beds, of which 7,506 (83.4%) were occupied by non-COVID patients, 70 (1%) were occupied by COVID patients, and 1,427 (15.9%) remained available. Hospitals also reported yesterday a total of 1,356 ICU beds, of which 960 (70.8%) were occupied by non-COVID patients, 26 (1.9%) were occupied by COVID patients, and 370 (27.3%) remained available.
Two weeks ago, the 7 day confirmed case average was 85.0, the 7 day confirmed deaths average was 4.0, the 7 day hospitalization average was 157.0, and the 7 day weighted average positivity rate was 0.42% (or 0.57% excluding higher education).
The daily raw data file used to create this report is available here.
Newly reported deaths and cases are up day-to-day, albeit from very low levels. The estimated active cases count dropped again (after actually rising yesterday for the first time in months), and the total number of COVID-19 patients hospitalized also dropped. All four seven-day averages remained at their Lowest Observed Values. Hopefully the daily upticks in deaths and cases are more statistical noise than anything resembling a trend.
The town of Acton's current Google Data Studio dashboard is showing zero active and 981 cumulative cases as of June 27. 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.
