#COVID19MA cases broke 2K today. The good news is that the positivity rate is flat. We are just testing much more (pic). Finding cases promptly reduces spread, so keep it up!

COVID sewage counts are up sharply in Mass, an ominous leading indicator. Ages 20-29 are the main holdouts. Anyone who teaches or employs or leads this age group should not be passive! Glad to see several Pillar companies starting formal mandatory policies. #covid19ma

Pro-vaccine Massachusetts just hit its lowest 7-day death count since the entire crisis started. Hospital count hasn't dropped substantially yet, but new cases *are* dropping and so hospitals should follow. Hoping for a great summer. #covid19 #Covid19MA

It appears employers have a legal right to require vaccination as a condition for employees to return to the office. Should they? #COVID19 #covid19MA

Interesting data from Mayor: "Newtonians who are partially or fully vaccinated include 95%+ of those who are 75+, 95%+ of those 65-74 years old, 69% who are 50-64 years old, 52% who are 30-49 years old, 30% that are 20-29 years old, and 5% who are 0-19 years old." #COVID19MA

▶️🚨 Boston metro viral sampling in sewers vs case numbers👇 😲
#COVID19MA numbers are NOT improving.
▶️ Viral signal in sewers stations continues to increase
▶️ As new cases lag from sewer data, increases are "baked in" (short- and medium-term)

How about patient ICU counts? Last time we hit 1000 in mid-April. Now:
10/19 - 86
11/2 - 96 (+ 9)
11/16 - 159 (+63)
11/30 - 244 (+85)
Today is 298 (+108 per 2 weeks)
=> We are still below but *accelerating*.
Why not act now? (Is Gov waiting for Xmas?)

Massachusetts is one of the fastest growing states in the USA, and we are already nearing the old highs. Rt=1.24
We missed our Sep/Oct window to gracefully return to Phase II and head this off in advance. :(
Suspect we will see a lockdown announced next week.

Positive rate climbing steadily. COVID is spreading *exponentially* in MA. In other countries, the initial surge in young people spreads ~4 weeks later into elderly. That means MA is setting up for a grim December.
@MassGovernor needs to be more aggressive NOW.

Added 700 cases today and Massachusetts will likely exceed 150,000 this weekend.
Positive rate is now up to 5.8%.
Back to Phase II!
Every day we delay action now, will make the economy and public health exponentially worse later.

We are entering a new surge in MA, with hospitalized patients up from 300 to 500, and positivity raised to 3.5-5% which is getting too high for effective contact tracing.
@MassGovernor please tighten up more now, so we don't need a total lockdown later!

This week sadly Massachusetts jumped to second fastest spread rate in the USA.
@MassGovernor take action on Friday! Return to Phase II; close colleges that won't test; K12 all remote.
We must get Rt < 1 to stop the surge. Then we can retry.

In the past 80 hours, we've jumped from 375 in the hospital to 425 #COVID19MA.
@MassGovernor we are clearly surging. Please act now to return to Phase II. Please don't wait for an even bigger surge that sends us back to Phase I.

#COVID19MA In the past month, our COVID hospital population climbed from 300 to 375, even though test positivity has remained flat.
Maybe certain groups are tested frequently and their spread stays low, but COVID is rising for the rest??
-> We need broader surveillance.
