edschweppeAs of 5PM today, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts is reporting 7 newly reported confirmed deaths (9 less than Friday - down 56.2%) for a total of 18,069 deaths, 4,364 newly reported confirmed cases (2,340 more than Friday - up 115.6%) for a total of 742,667 cases, and 239,375 newly reported molecular tests (131,760 more than Friday - up 122.4%).
Note that today's data covers 3 days. Averaged over that period, there were 2.3 newly reported deaths per day (14 less than Friday - down 85.4%), 1,454.7 newly reported cases per day (569 less than Friday - down 28.1%), and 79,791.7 newly reported molecular tests per day (27,823 less than Friday - down 25.9%).
The seven day average positivity rate is 2.00%, compared to 2.26% Friday. The state also reported 3 newly reported probable deaths (2 less than Friday - down 40.0%) for a total of 386 and 226 newly reported probable cases (72 more than Friday - up 46.8%) for a total of 52,876. Combining the confirmed and probable numbers gives 10 new deaths for a total of 18,455 and 4,590 new cases for a total of 795,543. There were 641 COVID-19 patients in hospital (63 less than Friday - down 8.9%), 169 COVID-19 patients in ICUs (7 less than Friday - down 4.0%) and 108 COVID-19 patients on ventilators (intubated) (10 more than Friday - up 10.2%).
Of the four overview trends (formerly the Page 2 "key metrics"), the 7-day average of newly confirmed cases is 1,377.0 (65 more than Friday - up 5.0%), 2,051% above the lowest observed value of 64.0 on 6/25/2021 and 78.0% below the highest observed value of 6,232.0 on 1/8/2021. The 7-day weighted average of positive molecular test rate is 2.00% (0 less than Friday - down 11.8%), 548% above the lowest observed value of 0.3% on 6/25/2021 and 93% below the highest observed value of 27.7% on 4/15/2020. The 7-day average number of COVID-19 patients in hospital is 682.0 (12 more than Friday - up 1.8%), 702% 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 Friday), 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 8,785 non-ICU beds, of which 7,207 (82.0%) were occupied by non-COVID patients, 472 (5.4%) were occupied by COVID patients, and 1,106 (12.6%) remained available. Hospitals also reported 1,312 ICU beds, of which 815 (62.1%) were occupied by non-COVID patients, 169 (12.9%) were occupied by COVID patients, and 328 (25.0%) remained available. By comparison, hospitals reported Friday a total of 9,001 non-ICU beds, of which 7,728 (85.9%) were occupied by non-COVID patients, 528 (6%) were occupied by COVID patients, and 745 (8.3%) remained available. Hospitals also reported Friday a total of 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.
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.
Once again, we're coming off a weekend and the state's report covers three days of data, making day-over-day comparisons somewhat less than useful. That said, averaged over the three days, today's newly reported deaths and cases are both noticeably lower than Friday's were, and today's hospitalization count is also well below Friday's. The seven-day averages are rather mixed; those for cases and hospitalizations are up, while percent-positive is down and deaths are holding steady.
The town of Acton's current Google Data Studio dashboard is showing 15 active and 1,102 cumulative cases as of September 19. 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.
