edschweppeI have no idea how much longer this will be a daily feature, since Massachusetts is thinking about scrapping its daily updates in favor of once-a-week. But for now ...
As of 5PM today, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts is reporting 18 newly reported confirmed deaths (3 more than yesterday - up 20.0%) for a total of 19,750 deaths, 1,115 newly reported confirmed cases (2,975 less than yesterday - down 72.7%) for a total of 1,772,542 cases, and 15,662 newly reported molecular tests (42,573 less than yesterday - down 73.1%). Note that yesterday's death data covers 4 days. Averaged over that period, there were 3.8 newly reported deaths per day and today's newly reported deaths are 14 more than yesterday's values - up 380.0%. Note that yesterday's case/test data covers 4 days. Averaged over that period, there were 1,022.5 newly reported cases per day and today's newly reported cases are 92 more than yesterday's values - up 9.0%. There were 14,558.8 newly reported molecular tests per day and today's newly reported tests are 1,103 more than yesterday's values - up 7.6%. The seven day average positivity rate is 7.09%, compared to 6.66% yesterday. The state also reported 8 newly reported probable deaths (6 more than yesterday - up 300.0%) for a total of 1,246 and 202 newly reported probable cases (194 less than yesterday - down 49.0%) for a total of 159,804. Combining the confirmed and probable numbers gives 26 new deaths for a total of 20,996 and 1,317 new cases for a total of 1,932,346. There were 518 COVID-19 patients in hospital (9 more than yesterday - up 1.8%), 44 COVID-19 patients in ICUs (1 less than yesterday - down 2.2%) and 15 COVID-19 patients on ventilators (intubated) (same as yesterday).
Of the four overview trends (formerly the Page 2 "key metrics"), the 7-day average of newly confirmed cases is 936.0 (98 less than yesterday - down 9.5%), 1,362% above the lowest observed value of 64.0 on 6/25/2021 and 96.0% below the highest observed value of 23,202.0 on 1/8/2022.

Deaths are up compared to yesterday, which is very bad news (especially as yesterday's report supposedly covered four days of data). Cases are down in raw numbers, but are up compared to averaging yesterday's total across the four days it covered. Also, cases are still over a thousand, which still sucks. Hospitalizations are also up compared to yesterday, which just plain isn't good. The seven-day averages are a mixed bag, as those for cases and deaths are down while those for hospitalizations and percent-positive are both up. Percent-positive is back over seven percent.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's data API for community transmission was last updated on July 5, and is showing six counties in Massachusetts with high community transmission and eight with substantial. That'd be great news, as Massachusetts has been at constant high transmission levels for months now - except that today's COVID Data Tracker website is showing all fourteen counties in Massachusetts having high community transmission as of July 6. Obviously the data flows at CDC aren't quite what I'd hope for.
The town of Acton's current Google Data Studio dashboard is showing 23 active and 3,658 cumulative cases as of July 5. In the most recent "newsflash style update" at 7PM on December 21, 2021, the town reported 1538 cumulative cases with 89 individuals in isolation, 1417 recovered and 32 fatalities.
