The state also reported 4 newly reported probable deaths (3 more than yesterday - up 300.0%) for a total of 377 and 208 newly reported probable cases (34 more than yesterday - up 19.5%) for a total of 50,893.

The 7-day weighted average of positive molecular test rate is 2.43% (0 less than yesterday - down 0.6%), 689% above the lowest observed value of 0.3% on 6/25/2021 and 91% below the highest observed value of 27.7% on 4/15/2020. The 7-day average number of COVID-19 patients in hospital is 596.0 (6 more than yesterday - up 1.0%), 601% above the lowest observed value of 85.0 on 7/9/2021 and 85% below the highest observed value of 3,874.0 on 4/27/2020. The 7-day average number of COVID-19 deaths is 8.0 (1 more than yesterday - up 14.3%), 700% above the lowest observed value of 1.0 on 7/12/2021 and 96% below the highest observed value of 175.0 on 4/24/2020.
Statewide, hospitals reported 8,953 non-ICU beds, of which 7,688 (85.9%) were occupied by non-COVID patients, 447 (5.0%) were occupied by COVID patients, and 818 (9.1%) remained available. Hospitals also reported 1,314 ICU beds, of which 862 (65.6%) were occupied by non-COVID patients, 162 (12.3%) were occupied by COVID patients, and 290 (22.1%) remained available. By comparison, hospitals reported yesterday a total of 8,950 non-ICU beds, of which 7,741 (86.5%) were occupied by non-COVID patients, 437 (5%) were occupied by COVID patients, and 772 (8.6%) remained available. Hospitals also reported yesterday a total of 1,320 ICU beds, of which 901 (68.3%) were occupied by non-COVID patients, 158 (12.0%) were occupied by COVID patients, and 261 (19.8%) remained available.
Two weeks ago, the 7 day confirmed case average was 930.0, the 7 day confirmed deaths average was 5.0, the 7 day hospitalization average was 412.0, and the 7 day weighted average positivity rate was 2.81%.
The daily raw data file used to create this report is available here.
The day-over-day changes are, once again, a mixed bag, with deaths down but cases and hospitalizations up. The seven-day average for percent-positive is down slightly, but the other three are all up noticeably. And, in hyper-local news, my home town is seeing a significant uptick in cases over the last couple of days (from eight active cases last Thursday to 25 currently). Not good at all.
The long Labor Day weekend is upon us, which means the state won't report anything until Tuesday. Not that I expect any good news the next few days.
The town of Acton's current Google Data Studio dashboard is showing 25 active and 1,072 cumulative cases as of September 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.
