Quincy returns to COVID-19 Yellow Zone status per weekly state report update.

As could have only been expected given last week’s weekly COVID-19 risk report from the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, this week’s report moved Quincy back into Yellow Zone risk status as well as solidly so.

In fact, before the Department of Public Health recently downgraded its ratings criteria, Quincy would most likely now be in Red Zone status per its old ratings criteria.

Additionally, COVID-19 infections in Quincy are continuing to trend higher.

Breaking badly bad news© for Quincy notwithstanding, Quincy Mayor Thomas P. Koch’s COVID-19 YouTube update was inexplicably posted a day before the release of this week’s Department of Public Health report and in it Mayor Koch talked up how Quincy was doing just fine in Green Zone status in spite of the fact that both last week’s report as well as subsequent daily data clearly indicated that Quincy would surely be moved back into Yellow Zone risk status per the new and more demanding criteria than the old ratings scales when the weekly update was released the next day.

Mayor Koch also talked up the holiday season decorations that have recently been put up along Kim Jong Koch Plaza in front of Quincy’s two city halls.

Needless to say, after last week’s more candid for a rare change statements about local COVID-19 risks, Mayor Koch opted to walk things back in his COVID-19 update this week as well as move on to talking up the holiday season so as to change the subject away from the still raging pandemic.
