Boston-Proper COVID-19 Update (28-Jan-2022 data)

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 100,000 people per day (this is approximately the "Low transmission" from the CDC)
• Green - Greater than or equal to 1.5 and less than 4 cases per 100,000 people per day (included in "Moderate transmission" spread from the CDC)
• Yellow - Greater than or equal to 4 and less than 8 cases per 100,000 people per day (included in "Moderate transmission" spread from the CDC)
• Orange - Greater than or equal to 8 and less than 16 cases per 100,000 people per day (this is approximately the "Substantial transmission" spread from the CDC)
• Red - Greater than or equal to 16 and less than 24 cases per 100,000 people per day (this and above is approximately the "High transmission" spread from the CDC)
• 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 and less than 100 cases per 100,000 people per day
• Black w/Bold Italics - Greater than or equal to 100 and less than 200 cases per 100,000 people per day
• Black w/Underlined Bold Italics - Greater than or equal to 200 and less than 300 cases per 100,000 people per day
• Red Text w/Bold on Black - Greater than or equal to 300 and less than 400 cases per 100,000 people per day
• Red Text w/Bold Italics on black - Greater than or equal to 400 and less than 500 cases per 100,000 people per day
• Red Text w/Underlined Bold Italics on black - Greater than or equal to 500 cases per 100,000 people per day

*Back Bay, Beacon Hill, Downtown, North End and West End combined

Summary: Many of the regions have gotten close to back to where they were a month ago or are slightly better than they were back then.  Outliers include Charleston and South Boston which are dramatically better than they were a month ago and Fenway which is dramatically worse.... but none of the regions are below the 80 cases per 100,000 people per day which is itself five times the starting point of the CDC's highest level of spread.

Stay safe. Stay informed.
