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"?

(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.

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...

Fun with MA COVID-19 Reporting 04-Oct-2020

We're really increasing cases fast... and we're back to mid-May numbers of cases Already this past week (we're days away from seeing last week's numbers not increase daily), Monday through Thursday have more new cases than any day from May 29 through Sep 8 (and 4 days since May 29 through Sep 27 surpass Thursday, only 1 day surpasses Wednesday). Already this past week has more new cases than any week since May 17 (and not by a little... at 541 per day on average, it's 92 more per day than the previous week and 42 more than the week of May 24, both of which had more cases than any week in between). Already this past week has had more deaths than any week since July 5. PLEASE behave as you did back in late April/early May, because that's where we very much are about to be, regardless of what the Governor says. Stay safe. Stay sane. Stay informed
