Outside MA: Each US State (and some Territories) 14-Day Comparison (30-Jul-2021)

It's been a couple weeks so let's take another 14-day comparison of how states are doing.

One quick note, when doing my outside MA reporting, I always use the "report date" instead of the more accurate "test date" data that I use for the MA reporting ("report date" data are just easier to locate).

Adding in the color coding for cases/100k
  • 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

Explanation of Data Points:
  • The first number is the current spread in average cases per 100,000 people per day over the last 7 days (as of yesterday's figures).
  • The second number is the percentage increase from the 7 days leading up to 02-Jul-2021 was vs the 7 days leading up to 16-Jul-2021.
  • The third number is the percentage increase from the 7 days leading up to 16-Jul-2021 was vs the 7 days leading up to 29-Jul-2021.
  • The fourth number is the current fully-vaccinated rate.
  • The fifth number is the at-least-one-dose rate, which gives us a good idea of what the backlog looks like (ie how the fully-vaccinated rate may increase to in the next month)
  • The sixth number is the percent per day they are increasing their at-least-one-dose (ie, how quickly they're getting new vaccinations)

Summary:
  • North Mariana Islands continues to be a rockstar with no spread at all..
  • Guam is the only location that is reducing cases and happens to be the only place seeing low spread (N. Mariana Islands doesn't count because they have no spread rather than low)
  • 53 of 55 states/territories increased by at least 10%
  • 42 states/territories more than doubled!
  • 14 more than tripled and Rhode Island quadrupled!
Stay safe. Stay informed.

Switching to Wastewater Monitoring Only

Case counts were already somewhat misleading so, if people were actually paying attention to the wastewater and had a target and/or threshold for concern, that would actually be potentially a more reasonable thing to monitor... with that in mind, let's look at some time points to try to find some measures to consider.  Let's start with establishing a few thresholds.   Early on in the pandemic, we said 8 cases per 100,000 people per day was the highest threshold of concern (ie, that was the introduction to the highest risk-rating we had).  Later, we relaxed this a bit because we realized that this would keep us on high alert and never allow us to go back to normal ... sort of like saying that everybody is smoking so the threshold that for risking cancer shouldn't be smoking 3 cigarettes a day but instead should be a pack a day.  Based on this relaxing of concern, let's go ahead and add in 16 cases per 100,000 people per day as a threshold to monitor for, just as we did w

MA Wastewater Tracking (23-Jan-2024 data)

Image
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 18-Jun-2020 edition

For those of you who like to see fun with numbers and accounting of Covid cases in Massachusetts (and also to get depressed in the morning)... Yesterday's report included an increase in the overall number of probable and confirmed cases of 266 an increase in the overall number of confirmed cases of 180 a change in the number of confirmed and probable cases that were originally traced to the last 44 days of 171 That means that at least 9 newly found confirmed cases and at least 78 OTHER newly found probable cases FROM BEFORE 44 DAYS AGO were uncovered sometime between 4pm on Tuesday and 4pm on Wednesday. Once we get past 4 days, we only see single-digit increases/decreases in uncovered cases so those numbers seem to be relatively static. We are likely to get to the 7,750 dead mark today and the 8,000 dead mark by early July. Daily hospital admissions has only slightly decreased in the last 44 days but our number of people remaining in the hospital on a given day has decreased from a
