The state also reported 1 newly reported probable death (1 more than yesterday) for a total of 417 and 659 newly reported probable cases (97 more than yesterday - up 17.3%) for a total of 68,159.

Statewide, hospitals reported 9,063 non-ICU beds, of which 7,481 (82.5%) were occupied by non-COVID patients, 972 (10.7%) were occupied by COVID patients, and 610 (6.7%) remained available. Hospitals also reported 1,280 ICU beds, of which 831 (64.9%) were occupied by non-COVID patients, 266 (20.8%) were occupied by COVID patients, and 183 (14.3%) remained available. By comparison, hospitals reported yesterday a total of 9,102 non-ICU beds, of which 7,527 (82.7%) were occupied by non-COVID patients, 978 (11%) were occupied by COVID patients, and 597 (6.6%) remained available. Hospitals also reported yesterday a total of 1,254 ICU beds, of which 826 (65.9%) were occupied by non-COVID patients, 261 (20.8%) were occupied by COVID patients, and 167 (13.3%) remained available.
Two weeks ago, the 7 day confirmed case average was 1,940.0, the 7 day confirmed deaths average was 12.0, the 7 day hospitalization average was 718.0, and the 7 day weighted average positivity rate was 0.00%.
One year ago, the 7 day confirmed case average was 3,108.0, the 7 day confirmed deaths average was 42.0, the 7 day hospitalization average was 1,498.0, and the 7 day weighted average positivity rate was 5.67%.

Well, I suppose the news is slightly better today: newly reported deaths held constant compared to yesterday, while cases are down (though still over five thousand) and one less person is hospitalized. The seven-day averages are a mixed bag, with cases down by one but hospitalizations, deaths and percent-positive all up. Not quite as bad as on this date last year, but way worse than two weeks ago, and the trendlines look bad.
Oh, and the state hit the unenviable milestone of nine hundred thousand confirmed cases today, reporting a total of 901,430. Joy.
The town of Acton's current Google Data Studio dashboard is showing 65 active and 1,429 cumulative cases as of December 9. The most recent "newsflash style update" at 1PM on November 22, 2021 reported 1304 cumulative cases with 54 individuals in isolation, 1218 persons recovered and 32 fatalities.
