edschweppeAs of 5PM today, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts is reporting 32 newly reported confirmed deaths (15 less than yesterday - down 31.9%) for a total of 19,604 deaths, 10,040 newly reported confirmed cases (998 more than yesterday - up 11.0%) for a total of 980,055 cases, and 122,785 newly reported molecular tests (10,720 more than yesterday - up 9.6%).The seven day average positivity rate is 8.32%, compared to 7.60% yesterday. The state also reported 7 newly reported probable deaths (6 more than yesterday - up 600.0%) for a total of 446 and 957 newly reported probable cases (208 more than yesterday - up 27.8%) for a total of 75,464. Combining the confirmed and probable numbers gives 39 new deaths for a total of 20,050 and 10,997 new cases for a total of 1,055,519. There were 1,595 COVID-19 patients in hospital (37 less than yesterday - down 2.3%), 358 COVID-19 patients in ICUs (4 less than yesterday - down 1.1%) and 223 COVID-19 patients on ventilators (intubated) (10 more than yesterday - up 4.7%).
Of the four overview trends (formerly the Page 2 "key metrics"), the 7-day average of newly confirmed cases is 5,386.0 (568 more than yesterday - up 11.8%), 8,315% above the lowest observed value of 64.0 on 6/25/2021 and 14.0% below the highest observed value of 6,229.0 on 1/8/2021. The 7-day weighted average of positive molecular test rate is 8.32% (0 more than yesterday - up 9.4%), 2,597% above the lowest observed value of 0.3% on 6/25/2021 and 70% below the highest observed value of 27.7% on 4/15/2020. The 7-day average number of COVID-19 patients in hospital is 1,565.0 (15 more than yesterday - up 1.0%), 1,741% above the lowest observed value of 85.0 on 7/9/2021 and 60% below the highest observed value of 3,874.0 on 4/27/2020. The 7-day average number of COVID-19 deaths is 26.0 (same as yesterday), 2,500% above the lowest observed value of 1.0 on 7/11/2021 and 86% below the highest observed value of 175.0 on 4/24/2020.
Statewide, hospitals reported 8,815 non-ICU beds, of which 6,750 (76.6%) were occupied by non-COVID patients, 1,237 (14.0%) were occupied by COVID patients, and 828 (9.4%) remained available. Hospitals also reported 1,274 ICU beds, of which 699 (54.9%) were occupied by non-COVID patients, 358 (28.1%) were occupied by COVID patients, and 217 (17.0%) remained available. By comparison, hospitals reported yesterday a total of 8,849 non-ICU beds, of which 6,831 (77.2%) were occupied by non-COVID patients, 1,270 (14%) were occupied by COVID patients, and 748 (8.5%) remained available. Hospitals also reported yesterday a total of 1,249 ICU beds, of which 705 (56.4%) were occupied by non-COVID patients, 362 (29.0%) were occupied by COVID patients, and 182 (14.6%) remained available.
Two weeks ago, the 7 day confirmed case average was 3,405.0, the 7 day confirmed deaths average was 18.0, the 7 day hospitalization average was 1,130.0, and the 7 day weighted average positivity rate was 5.17%.
One year ago, the 7 day confirmed case average was 2,854.0, the 7 day confirmed deaths average was 52.0, the 7 day hospitalization average was 1,982.0, and the 7 day weighted average positivity rate was 5.76%.
The daily raw data file used to create this report is available here.
Well, at least the day-over-day counts of newly reported confirmed deaths and current hospitalizations are down. On the other hand, newly reported confirmed cases set a new record for the third day in a row, breaking the ten-thousand-case milestone and coming in at a total of 10,040 cases. The seven-day cases average continues to skyrocket; at 5,386. it's less than a thousand cases per day below the highest observed value. And the seven-day percent-positive average is up again, now over eight percent for the first time since early January at 8.32%.
There's nothing on the state's website to indicate whether or not they'll treat Monday as an observed holiday, so I don't know if there will be any reporting then. Looking at the current trends, though, the next report (whenever it comes out) is quite likely to break both the one-million-confirmed-cases mark and set a new highest observed value for the seven-day average case count.
Guess the Omicron wave is really here. Merry Christmas?
