Statewide, hospitals reported 9,115 non-ICU beds, of which 7,999 (87.8%) were occupied by non-COVID patients, 357 (3.9%) were occupied by COVID patients, and 759 (8.3%) remained available. Hospitals also reported 1,289 ICU beds, of which 935 (72.5%) were occupied by non-COVID patients, 145 (11.2%) were occupied by COVID patients, and 209 (16.2%) remained available. By comparison, hospitals reported yesterday a total of 9,040 non-ICU beds, of which 8,006 (88.6%) were occupied by non-COVID patients, 362 (4%) were occupied by COVID patients, and 672 (7.4%) remained available.

Sigh. Day-over-day cases are up again; at least deaths and hospitalizations are down. The seven-day averages for deaths, cases, and percent-positive are all up; the average for cases is back above one thousand.
I missed this in the writeup, but the state broke the eight-hundred-thousand confirmed case threshold yesterday. Not a good milestone.
The town of Acton's current Google Data Studio dashboard is showing 14 active and 1,207 cumulative cases as of November 4. 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.
