edschweppeAs of 5PM today, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts is reporting 24 newly reported confirmed deaths (5 more than yesterday - up 26.3%) for a total of 18,015 deaths, 1,453 newly reported confirmed cases (3,299 less than yesterday - down 69.4%) for a total of 731,564 cases, and 65,226 newly reported molecular tests (177,611 less than yesterday - down 73.1%).
Note that the previous days's data covers 3 days. Averaged over that period, there were 6.3 newly reported deaths per day and today's newly reported deaths are 18 more than the previous day's values - up 278.9%. There were 1,584.0 newly reported cases per day and today's newly reported cases are 131 less than the previous day's values - down 8.3%. There were 80,945.7 newly reported molecular tests per day and today's newly reported tests are 15,720 less than the previous day's values - down 19.4%.
The seven day average positivity rate is 2.28%, compared to 2.22% yesterday. The state also reported zero newly reported probable deaths (same as yesterday) for a total of 378 and 190 newly reported probable cases (143 less than yesterday - down 42.9%) for a total of 52,186. Combining the confirmed and probable numbers gives 24 new deaths for a total of 18,393 and 1,643 new cases for a total of 783,750. There were 716 COVID-19 patients in hospital (41 more than yesterday - up 6.1%), 172 COVID-19 patients in ICUs (2 more than yesterday - up 1.2%) and 88 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 1,362.0 (77 more than yesterday - up 6.0%), 2,028% above the lowest observed value of 64.0 on 6/25/2021 and 79.0% below the highest observed value of 6,232.0 on 1/8/2021. The 7-day weighted average of positive molecular test rate is 2.28% (0 more than yesterday - up 2.6%), 640% above the lowest observed value of 0.3% on 6/25/2021 and 92% below the highest observed value of 27.7% on 4/15/2020. The 7-day average number of COVID-19 patients in hospital is 641.0 (17 more than yesterday - up 2.7%), 654% above the lowest observed value of 85.0 on 7/9/2021 and 84% 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 less than yesterday - down 11.1%), 700% above the lowest observed value of 1.0 on 7/11/2021 and 96% below the highest observed value of 175.0 on 4/24/2020.
Statewide, hospitals reported 8,873 non-ICU beds, of which 7,330 (82.6%) were occupied by non-COVID patients, 544 (6.1%) were occupied by COVID patients, and 999 (11.3%) remained available. Hospitals also reported 1,304 ICU beds, of which 833 (63.9%) were occupied by non-COVID patients, 172 (13.2%) were occupied by COVID patients, and 299 (22.9%) remained available. By comparison, hospitals reported yesterday a total of 8,825 non-ICU beds, of which 7,234 (82.0%) were occupied by non-COVID patients, 505 (6%) were occupied by COVID patients, and 1,086 (12.3%) remained available. Hospitals also reported yesterday a total of 1,306 ICU beds, of which 823 (63.0%) were occupied by non-COVID patients, 170 (13.0%) were occupied by COVID patients, and 313 (24.0%) remained available.
Two weeks ago, the 7 day confirmed case average was 1,144.0, the 7 day confirmed deaths average was 6.0, the 7 day hospitalization average was 581.0, and the 7 day weighted average positivity rate was 2.61%.
The daily raw data file used to create this report is available here.
Deaths way up day-over-day, even given yesterday's numbers covering three days. The twenty-four newly reported deaths are the highest single-day amount since the 30 reported on April 3, 2021, and the highest reported any day since April 5 (with April 4 not having any report, for reasons never explained). The raw numbers of newly reported cases are down from yesterday, and even down compared to yesterday averaged over three days, so there's something. On the other hand, hospitalizations are up compared to yesterday; today's 716 patients are the first time since April 19 that that figure has exceeded seven hundred. In further bad news, the seven-day metrics for cases, hospitalizations and percent-positive are all up.
Not that Governor Charlie Baker gives a rat's ass.
The town of Acton's current Google Data Studio dashboard is showing 14 active and 1,090 cumulative cases as of September 13. 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.
