Fun with MA COVID-19 Reporting 12-Jun-2021 Edition

There's only good news right now... ok, there's good news with warning signs?

Cases per day continue to fall.  Sure, we went from decreasing week over week by over a hundred cases per day (503.8->360.4->196.3) or by single digits of cases per day per 100k people (7.3->5.2->2.8) and that has slowed considerably for the week of May 30 (133.4 cases per day or 1.9 cases per day per 100k), but that's still slowing the spread.  

Deaths fell to below 5 per day for the week of May 30!  In "post covid" times I would hope that we would see fewer than single digits but perhaps that just means we're not in "post covid" times as has been suggested by some.  And this past week, while seeing a couple days above 5 so far (numbers aren't in for yesterday or today and Thursday's are bound to increase) the average appears to still about 5 (just below, currently)

Hospital use is also still decreasing, though only single digit hospital beds per day. ICU and ventilator use has also continued to decrease, though less than 3 people per day in each case with intubations only decreasing by about 1 person per day, but that's still better than the week of May 23 where we saw fewer than 1 person per day leaving the ICU and being taken off intubation.  

Stay safe. Stay sane. Stay informed.

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.

(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...
