Criteria to begin relaxing social distancing revision AJames Orr
Latest weekly update (on weekend) of my projection of the number of Coronavirus case per day by state. Prior predictions modeled following three weeks. Mode VII two weeks ago and Model IX on week ago appear as accurate as randomness in data allows, or new pockets of outbreaks. This version looks at where states are at plateauing or being pose peak new cases per day. Also looks at criteria to begin to relax social distancing guidelines. Revision A corrects Alaska (missing a 0) and Nevada population (one extra 0).
This document summarizes statistical data on various social injustices and inequalities. It presents data showing the proportion of populations that suffer from issues like delinquency, exclusion from society, financial difficulties, lack of access to transportation, and depression.

The Franklin Downtown Partnership is developing the Ladybug Cultural & Historical Trail to highlight Franklin's unique downtown sites. The trail will feature 25 sites tied together with ladybug sculptures, each having an informational sign. It began as a public art project in 2014 and the partnership took over coordinating outdoor sites in 2018. Their goal is to encourage foot traffic downtown and remind residents of Franklin's history, like how it became the state bug. They have partnered with local groups and have 12 business and 13 cultural and historical sites planned. Installations will continue through 2022 with an unveiling planned for Spring 2022.

This document summarizes Massachusetts' COVID-19 vaccine timeline and distribution plan. It outlines that 300,000 vaccine doses will be available in phase one in December through February for priority groups like healthcare workers, long term care residents and staff, first responders, and those with two or more comorbidities. Phase two from March through April will include 1.9 million additional doses for groups like educators, grocery workers, those 65 and older, and those with one comorbidity. By phase three, the vaccine will be available to the general public. It emphasizes that the vaccine will only be distributed once the FDA confirms it is safe, and that the state will promote equitable access, with 20% of doses going to hard-hit communities
