Yesterday's State report showed us UP 10 new cases (less than the day before) to a total of 69.

Here are the charts the State put up.
They've added to the description "cases are assigned by date of onset, diagnosis, or report - whichever is earliest..." Previously these charts were 'date of onset.' So, again, it seems to me, there is no consistent way to figure out the rate of increase of cases from this chart, even though it is on a timeline, because the numbers might mean different things and we aren't told why any given box is assigned the date it has. Or, if a given box on the chart today might be moved to a different date tomorrow. Maybe I'm wrong, but that's how I understand what that says. This chart does give a visual sense of the dominance of Anchorage cases. And the graphs below give us another chronological look of tests, but not of confirmed cases.
Is Ketchikan the second highest community (11) because the person who brought it into the community saw so many people? Because it was easier to track who he saw? Or because a larger proportion of people were tested?
1388 people have been tested according to the top chart. While they attach numbers to the cumulative chart, I don't know why they don't attach numbers to the daily chart. It would be much easier to figure out the numbers. As it is, we have to subtract yesterday's cumulative from today's to figure out a more precise number of those tested. But then we don't know if these numbers represent actual tests on a given day, or whether these are when the tests are reported to the State.
MY CHART: I've reformatted the chart because I was tracking data the State no longer provided. I hope this works better.
