Mass Covid 19 update - 2/28

Mass Covid 19 update.

More good news to report today.

Cases ticked down, to 1,428, and they did 102,571 tests, so the Positive Test Rate stayed nice and low at 1.4%. Last time we had a PTR this low was November 2nd. It peaked at 8.6% on January 5th.

Deaths ticked up a little, to fifty two.

Total Confirmed Cases: 544,674

Total Confirmed Deaths: 15,838

Another good day in the hospitals. Twenty five people got out of the hospital today, and another twenty one got out of the ICU. That brings those numbers down to 760 and 183, respectively. Last time we had under 200 people in the ICU was November 22nd. We got down to as low at 48 on November 5th. Our most recent peak was 461 on January 13th. Back in April we were over a thousand, and we only had 50,000 cases at that point. In the last 46 days we've had 122,500 cases, and we went down 278 ICU patients. Definitely a different virus now. It's much much less deadly now. By the time we had 122,500 cases in the beginning we had 9,000 deaths. In the last 122,500 cases we've had 2,700 deaths. And that's ticked up. In the 122,500 cases before that we had 1,700 deaths.

Mass Covid 19 update. Very good news to report today. Cases came in at 2,888 over the weekend, which works out to 963 per day, which is a lot lower than it has been. They only did 115,201 tests, or only 38,400 per day, so the Positive Test Rate ticked up to 2.5%. Deaths though, came in at ZERO, which for three days is absolutely fantastic. The last day we had zero deaths was July 13th of last year, and that was just one day. There were only four other days during this entire pandemic that we had zero deaths. I hope it becomes a trend. Total Confirmed Cases: 1,563,869 Total Confirmed Deaths: 19,006 Slight improvement in the hospitals. Eight people got out of the hospital and two got out of the ICU. That brings those numbers down to 216 and 31, respectively.

I've gotten a bit behind on the Covid thing these past couple weeks. This report is for last Tuesday. I'll be catching up over the next day or so.

They did 148,111 tests, or about only 37,028 per day, so the Positive Test Rate jumped up to 4.4%. Deaths were extremely low, with only TWO over four days, which is great. Total Confirmed Cases: 1,589,305 Total Confirmed Deaths: 19,061 Relatively good news in the hospitals. Fifteen people got out of the hospital, and two got out of the ICU.
