Deaths (19) are up slightly from yesterday, marking the third day in a row with at least eighteen newly reported deaths. Cases are also up compared to yesterday; today's 1,850 newly reported cases are the highest Friday total since June 10. Hospitalizations, at least, ticked down slightly. On the other hand, all four of the seven-day averages are up from yesterday, with percent-positive up to 7.87%.
The state is saying they'll have a new dashboard out next Thursday (July 11). I'm going to guess (from their press release) that they'll be changing their raw data file format as well, which (from experience) will break my wall-o-text builder. And, since I plan to be on Star Island next week, my interest in debugging stuff is going to be just about nonexistent. I might try to do something with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention datasets that I could run on weekdays; on the other hand, I might not bother trying until after I get back. So this is likely the last update for a while.
I do wish there was some good news to be included in it.
The town of Acton's current Google Data Studio dashboard is showing 31 active and 3,668 cumulative cases as of July 6, and has not been updated since.
