Any day with zero deaths is by definition a good day. And there were fewer cases reported today than yesterday - but yesterday covered three days of data. Nearly two hundred newly reported cases is Not Good At All. At least the total number of hospitalizations dropped slightly. However, three of the four seven-day averages are up again.
The town of Acton's current Google Data Studio dashboard is showing zero active and 981 cumulative cases as of July 12. There have been no new cases shown on this dashboard since June 2, over a month ago. 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.
