Fun with MA COVID-19 Reporting 13-Apr-2022 Edition

Let's start where we always do on Wednesdays with new hospitalizations.  Last week it seemed like new hospitalizations had stopped going up... this week we can see that this hasn't been born out as we return to increasing the number of people entering hospitals.

Time period              - new hospitalizations (not increased headcount, these are newly admitted patients)
June 2021                  -  15.0
July 2021                   -  19.0 
August 2021              -  61.1 
September 2021        -  72.4
October 2021            -  60.3
November 2021        -  82.5
December 2021         -186.8
January 2022             -341.4
Jan 9-15 2022            -436.7 (peak week)
February 2022           -100.5
Feb 27-Mar 5 2022   -  43.3
Mar 6-12 2022          -  33.9
Mar 13-19 2022        -  29.3
Mar 20-26 2022        -  33.7
Mar 27-Apr 2 2022   -  33.4
Apr 3-9 2022             -  37.9

And the first three days of this week averaged 51 per day.  Hospital use itself appears to also be back to increasing and the first 3 days of this week averaged an increase of hospital use of 14 more beds being used per day.

Heading to cases, last week is now the fourth week in a row of increasing spread, with another 25% week-over-week increase.

June 2021                  -     91.7 cases per day (    1.33 cases per 100,000 people per day)
July 2021                  -    364.8 cases per day (    5.29 cases per 100,000 people per day)
August 2021             -  1259.0 cases per day (  18.26 cases per 100,000 people per day)
September 2021       -  1589.9 cases per day (  23.06 cases per 100,000 people per day)
October 2021            -  1204.7 cases per day (  17.48 cases per 100,000 people per day)
November 2021       -   2301.8 cases per day (  33.39 cases per 100,000 people per day)
December 2021        -  7470.1 cases per day (108.37 cases per 100,000 people per day)
January 2022            -12829.2 cases per day (186.12 cases per 100,000 people per day)
Jan 2-8 2022             -23203.1 cases per day (336.61 cases per 100,000 people per day) (peak week)
February 2022          -  1627.3 cases per day (  23.6 cases per 100,000 people per day)
Feb 27-Mar 5 2022  -    748.9 cases per day (  10.86 cases per 100,000 people per day)
Mar 6-12 2022         -    600.7 cases per day (    8.71 cases per 100,000 people per day)
Mar 13-19 2022       -    660.1 cases per day (    9.58 cases per 100,000 people per day)
Mar 20-26 2022       -    911.3 cases per day (  13.22 cases per 100,000 people per day)
Apr 3-9 2022           -  1454.7 cases per day (  21.10 cases per 100,000 people per day)

Deaths, being the lagging indicator that they are, continued to go down ever so slowly.

June 2021                  -  3.4 per day
July 2021                   -  2.6 per day
August 2021              -  6.3 per day
September 2021        - 12.8 per day
October 2021            - 11.7 per day
November 2021        - 13.7 per day
December 2021        -  28.7 per day
January 2022             - 61.3 per day
Jan 16-22 2022          - 72.9 per day (peak week)
February 2022           - 37.0 per day
Feb 27-Mar 5 2022   - 24.1 per day
Mar 6-12 2022          - 13.3 per day
Mar 13-19 2022        -   6.3 per day
Mar 20-26 2022        -   4.9 per day
Mar 27-Apr 2 2022   -   4.5 per day
Apr 3-9 2022             -   4.0 per day

And we'll end with the closest to real-time indicator we have: wastewater tracking.  Well, suffice to say, we're continuing to see a steady rapid increase with no sign of slowing.  

Stay safe. Stay informed. Stay keeping your friends, family, and neighbors safe.

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

(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...
