The state also reported 5 newly reported probable deaths (5 more than yesterday) for a total of 383 and 154 newly reported probable cases (5 more than yesterday - up 3.4%) for a total of 52,650. Combining the confirmed and probable numbers gives 21 new deaths for a total of 18,445 and 2,178 new cases for a total of 790,953. There were 704 COVID-19 patients in hospital (29 more than yesterday - up 4.3%), 176 COVID-19 patients in ICUs (3 more than yesterday - up 1.7%) and 98 COVID-19 patients on ventilators (intubated) (1 more than yesterday - up 1.0%).
Of the four overview trends (formerly the Page 2 "key metrics"), the 7-day average of newly confirmed cases is 1,312.0 (21 less than yesterday - down 1.6%), 1,950% 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 2.26% (0 less than yesterday - down 1.6%), 634% 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 670.0 (10 more than yesterday - up 1.5%), 688% above the lowest observed value of 85.0 on 7/9/2021 and 83% below the highest observed value of 3,874.0 on 4/27/2020. The 7-day average number of COVID-19 deaths is 10.0 (same as yesterday), 900% above the lowest observed value of 1.0 on 7/11/2021 and 95% below the highest observed value of 175.0 on 4/24/2020.
Statewide, hospitals reported 9,001 non-ICU beds, of which 7,728 (85.9%) were occupied by non-COVID patients, 528 (5.9%) were occupied by COVID patients, and 745 (8.3%) remained available. Hospitals also reported 1,315 ICU beds, of which 870 (66.2%) were occupied by non-COVID patients, 176 (13.4%) were occupied by COVID patients, and 269 (20.5%) remained available. By comparison, hospitals reported yesterday a total of 9,018 non-ICU beds, of which 7,830 (86.8%) were occupied by non-COVID patients, 502 (6%) were occupied by COVID patients, and 686 (7.6%) remained available. Hospitals also reported yesterday a total of 1,319 ICU beds, of which 871 (66.0%) were occupied by non-COVID patients, 173 (13.1%) were occupied by COVID patients, and 275 (20.8%) remained available.
Two weeks ago, the 7 day confirmed case average was 1,116.0, the 7 day confirmed deaths average was 8.0, the 7 day hospitalization average was 596.0, and the 7 day weighted average positivity rate was 2.43%.
The daily raw data file used to create this report is available here.
Compared to yesterday, newly reported deaths are constant, while newly reported cases and the overall hospitalization rate are both up. Newly reported cases are back above two thousand a day, while hospitalizations are back above seven hundred; both of these statistics are back up to the levels we saw back in April and, frankly, that stinks. The seven-day averages for cases and percent-positive are both down slightly, but that for hospitalizations keeps climbing.
And, of course, the weekend is coming up, which means the state won't be arsed to file any reports until Monday. I guess Governor Baker doesn't think he needs up-to-date information anymore?
The town of Acton's current Google Data Studio dashboard is showing 16 active and 1,101 cumulative cases as of September 15. 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.
