Well, this stinks. Deaths up again day-to-day (tying last Wednesday's total of 27), cases up again day-to-day, hospitalizations up day-to-day. The seven-day average for patients in hospital ticked down a tad compared to yesterday, but the averages for deaths, cases and percent-positive are all up. This surge isn't over yet. And winter is coming.
The town of Acton's current Google Data Studio dashboard is showing 27 active and 1,155 cumulative cases as of October 5. 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.
