Fun with COVID-19 reporting in MA (and elsewhere)

A note of explanation on the below data: each number is the outcome of taking this week's data, subtracting the data from 2 weeks ago, and dividing by 14 (to get the per day) and then dividing by the population of the location (to get the per person) and then multiplying by 100,000 (to get the per 100,000 people per day) Information closest to the city/town name is the most recent information and spans backward in time so that a comparison can be drawn of how we went from doing ok in the summer of 2020, to doing really badly over the winter, to doing really well in the spring of 2021, and then how we've done since.  We were able to get the spread down to "Low transmission" briefly in all but 2 regions while still in phase 3 of our re-opening plan (including multiple weeks in some regions and  for longer than a month  in 3 of the 14 regions) so beating COVID-19 is entirely possible, we just have to try as a wider community to get there.  Blue  - Less than 1.5 cases per
