COVID-19 Numbers

Here’s what I have for today:

• Methuen, MA
  • Total Cases: 396 (up 6 from yesterday)
  • Deaths: 19
  • Death Rate: 4.80%
• Massachusetts
  • Total Cases: 41,199 (up 1,556 from yesterday)
  • Deaths: 1961
  • Death Rate: 4.76%
• United States
  • Total Cases: 814,587 (up 31,297 from yesterday)
  • Deaths: 43,796
  • Death Rate: 5.38%

An interesting coincidence, both the city of Methuen and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts had exactly the same number of new cases today as yesterday.  I don’t think that means anything, just a bit of statistical weirdness.

More importantly though, Methuen hasn’t had a death since April 18th.
