Alaska COVID-19 Count - April 1, 2020 - New Cases = 0; New Deaths=0; New Hospitalizations =0

The number of new cases is NOT going up at an ever increasing rate.  At least for now.  That's good.  No new deaths in four days.  No new hospitalizations since yesterday.

My calendar chart, we're in April now.

State's Charts from their website.

 The chart above gives a visual sense of where the positive cases are, but as more days are added it seems to get less and less useful, since the days get further and further from the Y axis and it's harder to calculate how many.  And each color is one lump, so you can't count that way.

Of course those details are in the chart below.  What the chart above adds is time, but the time is ambiguous - "date of onset, diagnosis, or report - whichever is earlier."  So, the announcements of 14 new positive cases, 1 new hospitalization, and one new death on March 29, that date has nothing in the chart above.

There were 419 new tests.  Remember, the last date for all these charts was yesterday.

Finally, my other chart.

Dr. Zink said that tomorrow the State would put up some different ways of presenting this information.  Sounds good.
