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

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, so the effort has to be preventing it from spreading outside and coming in. 

Notable this week:  K-12 Schools did the previously imagined impossible and have surpassed Child Care as they each pushed hard to expand dramatically.  K-12 increased by 32%, edging out Child Care which increased "just" 11%... K-12 had a greater number of cases than all non-Child Care/non-residence-based settings combined and Child Care had a greater number than the next 9 combined. Social Gatherings, Organized Athletics reduced slightly but not sufficiently to outpace the increases we're seeing in K-12 Schools and Child Care.  Oh, and Colleges & Universities nearly tripled their spread and Hospitals nearly doubled their's, but since they were low on the list previously, this isn't as alarming as the Child Tier increases.  

  • Child Tier
    • K-12 Schools - 87 clusters causing 329 cases 
        • Child Care - 224 clusters causing 319 cases 
      • High Tier
        • Social Gatherings - 34 clusters causing 78 cases 
        • Organized Athletics & Camps - 34 clusters causing 50 cases 
      • MediumTier
          • Industrial Settings - 18 clusters causing 38 cases
          • Recreational/Cultural - 7 cluster causing 32 cases
          • Colleges & Universities - 10 clusters causing 31 cases
          • Hospitals - 15 clusters causing 31 cases 
        • Low Tier
          • Places of Worship - 6 cluster causing 19 cases 
          • Offices - 7 clusters causing 15 cases
          • Other Workplaces - 12 clusters causing 11 cases 
          • Retail & Services - 9 cluster causing 11 cases 
            • Other Healthcare - 6 cluster causing 7 cases
              • Restaurants & Food Courts - 9 cluster causing 3 cases 
              • Other Food Establishments - 1 cluster causing 2 cases 
            • No spread but clusters remain open
              • Other - 3 clusters causing 0 cases
            • No open clusters
                • Travel & Lodging
              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.

              Fun with MA COVID-19 reporting 07-Oct-2020 Greater-Greater Somerville local edition

              Image
              (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...
