MA COVID-19 Cluster Review 04-Feb-2021

You know what I love?  When people say that kids don't spread COVID-19 as much as adults do.  Let's take another look at the clusters being reported by MA shall we?

For the currently outstanding clusters, in order by number of clusters that have come up in the last 4 weeks:
  • God Tier: Child Care at 142 clusters... 142!  want to know why I'm putting an exclamation mark after that? Take a look at the next tier's counts.
  • Second Tier:
    • Organized Athletics/Camps: 38
    • K-12 Schools: 26 (but no, spread doesn't happen at schools)
  • Teens Tier:
    • Restaurants & Food Courts: 18
    • Social Gatherings: 17 (yep, these are the only cause of the spread, right?)
    • Retail & Services: 15
    • Colleges & Universities: 15
    • Industrial Settings: 14
    • Hospitals: 13
  • Pre-Teens Tier:
    • Other Healthcare: 12
    • Other Workplaces: 10
  • Lowest:
    • Other Food Establishments: 15
    • Offices: 5
    • Places of Worship: 2
    • Recreational/Cultural: 1
If we review by looking at all new cases from new and ongoing clusters:
  • God Tier: Child Care: 651... 6 FUCKING 51!  
  • 200's:
    • Hospitals: 256
    • Industrial Settings: 211
  • High 100's:
    • K-12 Schools: 181 (yep, still pressuring K-12 to be in-person and saying there's no risk there)
    • Social Gatherings: 179 
    • Organized Athletics/Camps: 159 (I love all the ice hockey parents complaining that athletics get canceled when cases pop up in their community)
  • Low 100's
    • Restaurants & Food Courts: 117
    • Retail & Services: 114
  • Mid 10's:
    • Colleges & Universities: 69
    • Recreational/Cultural: 63
    • Other Healthcare: 58
    • Other Workplaces: 53
  • Lower 10's:
    • Other Food Establishments: 35
    • Offices: 26
    • Places of Worship: 24 (17 of which were from the 2 clusters, btw)
    • Other: 20

MA Wastewater Tracking (23-Jan-2024 data)

See that little uptick at the end of each graph? This didn't happen in 2022 but did in 2023. We understood the goal in 2022 (to some degree) but since ... is there some portion of the population who says "covid spread must be down so let's go nuts"? I suspect this is partially colleges reconvening their students on campuses where in 2022 they were still trying to get their students to maintain some precautions and they haven't been since... but I also don't think this is just college campuses.

Fun with MA COVID-19 reporting 07-Oct-2020 Greater-Greater Somerville local edition

Image
(All average cases listed are 14-day averages and are per 100,000, which means that it's comparable between cities without regard for each city's population) Arlington (green) - I mean, good job at staying in green but... try to get back where you were (even if everybody else is just trying to get to green): 0.2->0.6->1.6->2.3->2.2->1.9->3.1->2.5. Boston (getting redder) - Continuing to get worse, going from 8.5 last week to 10 this week... glad you decided to go remote for your public schools. Cambridge (green) - You're really liking the mid 2's which you've now been for 3 weeks. You're in a race with Arlington for greenest neighbor of Somerville. Chelsea (RED!) - I was so excited last week ... but no, you've regressed 2 weeks now. Get better soon. 31.9->29.4->25->22.9->22.4->18.8->22.4.  Fitchburg (green) - Took a turn toward yellow but still very green... there's pretty much a three-way tie for snapshot green but...
