Fun with MA COVID-19 Reporting 29-Jul-2021 Greater-Greater Somerville Edition

Just a friendly reminder that I'm using state numbers for total cases in reporting from each week but using a calculation that is a better approximation of the cases we've seen every 2 weeks by taking the totals from the report 2 weeks ago and comparing to the report of the week.  For an explanation of why this is more appropriate, read over my post about it: https://funwithmacovid-19reporting.blogspot.com/2020/10/why-weekly-community-numbers-reported.html

  • Green - Less than 4 cases per 100,000 people per day
  • Yellow - Greater than or equal to 4 and less than 8 cases per 100,000 people per day
  • Orange - Greater than or equal to 8 and less than 16 cases per 100,000 people per day
  • Red - Greater than or equal to 16 and less than 24 cases per 100,000 people per day 
  • Maroon- Greater than or equal to 24 and less than 40 cases per 100,000 people per day
  • Purple- Greater than or equal to 40 and less than 64 cases per 100,000 people per day
  • Black - Greater than or equal to 64 cases per 100,000 people per day
Information right next to the city/town name is the most recent information and the furthest to the right is the furthest back. I'm keeping in the furthest back references (going back to August 2020) so that a comparison can be made not just to the worst spread or the last few weeks' but going back to last summer.... Aka, it's a reminder that as good as things look in comparison to January, we're not back to where we were yet.

Number of cities/towns with each designation with my calculation:
  • Green - 192 (112 fewer than last week) (Less than 4 cases per 100,000 people per day)
  • Yellow - 130 (93 more than last week) (Greater than or equal to 4 and less than 8 cases per 100,000 people per day)
  • Orange - 27 (24 more than last week) (Greater than or equal to 8 and less than 16 cases per 100,000 people per day)
  • Red - 2 (2 more than last week) (Greater than or equal to 16 and less than 24 cases per 100,000 people per day) 
  • Maroon- 0 (same as last week) (Greater than or equal to 24 and less than 40 cases per 100,000 people per day)
  • Purple- 0 (same as last week) (Greater than or equal to 40 and less than 64 cases per 100,000 people per day)
  • Black - 0 (same as last week)(Greater than or equal to 64 cases per 100,000 people per day).

Summary: Well, at least 2 of the cities/towns I monitor stayed green... but there's also now 3 that turned orange, including Cambridge which has now doubled it's 2-week new case count for the third week in a row.  Also, 231 cities/towns got worse vs 13 which got better.

Have a city/town you'd like me to keep track of?  Let me know and I'll get started.

Stay safe. 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...
