Fun with MA COVID-19 Reporting 11-Dec-2021 Edition (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:  Child Care continues to rocket ahead, increasing speed even, gaining 34% more cases than they had seen last week (last week they gained 23%).  Child Care is now nearly twice the next highest spreading non-residential-based setting, K-12 Schools... K-12 Schools which itself is four times the next highest spreading non-residential-based setting thereafter, Hospitals.  Hospitals, by the way, increased by a third and jumped over Social Gatherings (though just barely).... Hospitals which are filling up quickly and thus likely to experience further spread due to that increase in cases being in the confined space.  Recreational/Cultural increased by 42%.  Colleges & Universities reduced their spread by 36%, but that reduction doesn't cover any single one of the aforementioned increases.

            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...
