Statewide, hospitals reported 8,775 non-ICU beds, of which 7,314 (83.4%) were occupied by non-COVID patients, 428 (4.9%) were occupied by COVID patients, and 1,033 (11.8%) remained available. Hospitals also reported 1,290 ICU beds, of which 809 (62.7%) were occupied by non-COVID patients, 163 (12.6%) were occupied by COVID patients, and 318 (24.7%) remained available. By comparison, hospitals reported yesterday a total of 8,671 non-ICU beds, of which 7,164 (82.6%) were occupied by non-COVID patients, 447 (5%) were occupied by COVID patients, and 1,060 (12.2%) remained available. Hospitals also reported yesterday a total of 1,285 ICU beds, of which 811 (63.1%) were occupied by non-COVID patients, 156 (12.1%) were occupied by COVID patients, and 318 (24.7%) remained available.
Two weeks ago, the 7 day confirmed case average was 891.0, the 7 day confirmed deaths average was 4.0, the 7 day hospitalization average was 377.0, and the 7 day weighted average positivity rate was 2.82%.

Deaths way up day-over-day. Cases were down in raw numbers, but yesterday's data covered three days; today's newly reported case counts are higher than the average of that three-day report. In somewhat better news, the hospitalization count is down compared to yesterday. The seven-day averages are mixed; cases are down, while percent-positive and hospitalizations are up.
The town of Acton's current Google Data Studio dashboard is showing 14 active and 1,056 cumulative cases as of August 30. 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.
