Fun with MA COVID-19 Reporting 20-May-2021 (Clusters)

It's been 3 weeks, so let's see how the clusters are doing and which ones have shifted in the race.  Just a friendly reminder that the residence-based settings are removed on account of, well, you can't really prevent spread within a place of living, the whole effort has to be preventing it from spreading outside and coming in.
  • Child Care Tier - I'm gonna go ahead and relabel "God Tier" since Child Care is always the highest spreading non-residence setting by such a long shot.  
    • Child Care - 224 clusters causing 255 cases.
  • High Tier - Colleges & Universities come in next as is the new normal, at least until summer.  Industrial Settings shoots up in comparison to others, bypassing High Tier, but really is just remaining consistent with itself between reviews.
    • Colleges & Universities - 51 clusters causing 109 cases.
    • Industrial Settings - 39 clusters causing 91 cases
  • Medium-High Tier -   K-12 and Organized Athletics stick to the tier and Social Gatherings make a hook shot to get in on the tier this time.
    • K-12 Schools (totally safe though, right?) - 59 clusters causing 76 cases
    • Organized Athletics & Camps (but sure, no masks needed anymore) - 48 clusters causing 60 cases
    • Social Gatherings - 29 clusters causing 58 cases
  • Medium Tier - Recreation/Cultural jumps up to a new tier 
    • Restaurants & Food Courts - 38 clusters causing 37 cases
    • Recreation/Cultural - 9 clusters causing 35 cases
    • Retail & Services - 27 clusters causing 26 cases
  • Medium-Low Tier - Hospitals climb to the medium-low tier by virtue of remaining right about how many cases they caused last review.  
    • Hospitals - 11 clusters causing 13 cases
    • Other Workplaces - 13 clusters causing 11 cases
    • Places of Worship - 10 clusters causing 10 cases
  • Low Tier - 
      • Offices - 14 clusters causing 9 cases
      • Other Food Establishments - 9 clusters causing 4 cases
      • Other Healthcare - 2 clusters causing 2 case

    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 13-Oct-2020 edition

    Last week's case count is already higher than any other week going back until May 17... which was the case last week but now we're able to report that again because, even though cases will keep increasing for last week for a couple more days, we're over the total from the previous week by 189, or an average of 27/day. Also... we've now seen 2 straight weeks with every single weekday having more new cases than any single day from May 29 through Sept 23 (and that run of large-case-count weekdays starts on Sep 28... so...) Last week also saw 4 straight days with only 1 day of higher case count going back through May 27... including the immediately preceding week. Testing, with 1 exception, has been above 3.0% for individuals for the last 20 days. For comparison, the same rate was below 2.5%, with the exception of 1 day, from July 5 through September 2.... oh, and 13 of the last 20 days that percentage was 3.5% or higher and 4 of the last 15 were 4.0% or higher.... 2 of the...

    Fun with MA COVID-19 Reporting 27-Oct-2020 edition

    Well, yesterday we had 2 weekdays under 1000 cases last week, today we have no weekdays under 1050, which means that there is NO day between May 19 and the start of last week that reaches the count of ANY weekday last week. This far exceeds my prediction that the average for the weekdays last week would have had 900+ cases by the close of this week... the average weekday cases was 1,111.6. Thursday of last week now has reached 1343 cases, which brings us back to May 12 looking for a day as bad. The week saw an average of 923 cases per day (Sunday has 327 and Saturday, which is still increasing, saw 581) which means we are no longer looking at the week of May 17 for a week that exceeded and now have to look at May 10. Oh, also, the comparison of the average from last week to the one before? Yeah, we increased by 30 percent! Month over month? We DOUBLED! Hospital usage, ICU usage, and intubation counts are all up too, so no bright spot there. The 3-day average hospital usage from exactly...
