Unfortunately, I have come to the conclusion that I need to resume publishing weekly excess mortality reports for Massachusetts.
I‘ve been monitoring this all summer but stopped publishing when we had many weeks without excess deaths.
Today, I see signs that our streak ended.

In addition, I should add that I believe our relatively long shelter in place and phased re-opening meant that we could see this coming.
Cases were <200 per day for a while.
Now we see that doubled.

The point of reopening when cases are low is to be willing to make behavioral modifications (partial shutdown/restrictions) in MOMENTS LIKE THIS.

We need to ban indoor dining immediately.
We need some other restrictions as well for a few weeks.
If we don’t, our R could skyrocket and a full shutdown may become necessary.
That would be bad.
