edschweppeAs of 5PM today, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts is reporting 13 newly reported confirmed deaths (10 more than yesterday - up 333.3%) for a total of 17,743 deaths, 1,109 newly reported confirmed cases (1,478 less than yesterday - down 57.1%) for a total of 682,240 cases, and 39,358 newly reported molecular tests (60,903 less than yesterday - down 60.7%).
Note that the previous days's data covers 3 days. Averaged over that period, there were 1.0 newly reported deaths per day and today's newly reported deaths are 12 more than the previous day's values - up 1,200.0%. There were 862.3 newly reported cases per day and today's newly reported cases are 247 more than the previous day's values - up 28.6%. There were 33,420.3 newly reported molecular tests per day and today's newly reported tests are 5,938 more than the previous day's values - up 17.8%.
The seven day average positivity rate is 2.88%, compared to 2.72% yesterday. The state also reported 1 newly reported probable death (1 more than yesterday) for a total of 369 and 225 newly reported probable cases (160 more than yesterday - up 246.2%) for a total of 48,141. Combining the confirmed and probable numbers gives 14 new deaths for a total of 18,112 and 1,334 new cases for a total of 730,381. There were 334 COVID-19 patients in hospital (20 more than yesterday - up 6.4%), 78 COVID-19 patients in ICUs (2 more than yesterday - up 2.6%) and 33 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 771.0 (9 less than yesterday - down 1.2%), 1,104% above the lowest observed value of 64.0 on 6/25/2021 and 88.0% below the highest observed value of 6,233.0 on 1/8/2021. The 7-day weighted average of positive molecular test rate is 2.88% (0 more than yesterday - up 5.8%), 834% above the lowest observed value of 0.3% on 6/25/2021 and 90% below the highest observed value of 27.7% on 4/15/2020. The 7-day average number of COVID-19 patients in hospital is 278.0 (15 more than yesterday - up 5.7%), 227% above the lowest observed value of 85.0 on 7/9/2021 and 93% 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 (1 more than yesterday - up 50.0%), 200% above the lowest observed value of 1.0 on 7/12/2021 and 99% below the highest observed value of 175.0 on 4/24/2020.
Statewide, hospitals reported 8,988 non-ICU beds, of which 7,578 (84.3%) were occupied by non-COVID patients, 256 (2.8%) were occupied by COVID patients, and 1,154 (12.8%) remained available. Hospitals also reported 1,342 ICU beds, of which 883 (65.8%) were occupied by non-COVID patients, 78 (5.8%) were occupied by COVID patients, and 381 (28.4%) remained available. By comparison, hospitals reported yesterday a total of 8,965 non-ICU beds, of which 7,435 (82.9%) were occupied by non-COVID patients, 238 (3%) were occupied by COVID patients, and 1,292 (14.4%) remained available. Hospitals also reported yesterday a total of 1,342 ICU beds, of which 882 (65.7%) were occupied by non-COVID patients, 76 (5.7%) were occupied by COVID patients, and 384 (28.6%) remained available.
Two weeks ago, the 7 day confirmed case average was 400.0, the 7 day confirmed deaths average was 3.0, the 7 day hospitalization average was 124.0, and the 7 day weighted average positivity rate was 1.83%.
The daily raw data file used to create this report is available here.
Big jump in deaths day-over-day - today's thirteen confirmed deaths are the highest since May 19, when fourteen deaths were reported. Fewer cases were reported today, but AsYouKnowBob, yesterday's report covered three days, and today's count was quite a bit higher than dividing yesterday's number by three. Hospitalizations are also up again, as are the seven-day averages for deaths, hospitalizations and percent-positive.
The state has started adding information on cases in fully vaccinated individuals to its Daily COVID-19 Vaccine Report - but only on Tuesdays, and only as a PDF file (the underlying data is, as far as I can tell, not being published anywhere). Based on today's report, last week (August 1-7) saw 2,232 new cases among fully vaccinated individuals, 50 hospitalizations and 6 deaths. According to today's raw data file, there were 6,629 new cases, 79 net new hospitalizations and 19 new deaths over that same time frame. This would imply that last week, fully vaccinated individuals made up 33.7% of the new cases, 63.3% of the new hospitalizations, and 31.6% of the new deaths.
The fact that sixty-four percent of the population are fully vaccinated and they're less than thirty-five percent of the cases is a pretty good indication that the vaccines are (a) effective and (b) not perfect. Masking up is still a necessity, even if Governor Charlie Baker can't be arsed to make it mandatory.
The town of Acton's current Google Data Studio dashboard is showing 9 active and 1,011 cumulative cases as of August 9. 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.
