Alaska COVID-19 Count April 6, 2020 - No New Deaths, 3 More Hospitalized, And 6 More Positives

I started these daily reports because a) the State's original reports were sparse and b) each report was replaced daily, so there was no way to track changes over time.  The State redid their posts with great interactive graphics last week, but you still can't track the daily increases in confirmed cases, hospitalizations, and deaths.  They do have graphs which track tests since the beginning to today.  But the numbers don't quite match.  Early on there were only State Lab tests, but they don't show up on the early days in their graphs.  And the daily up-dates often show 0 state tests.  The daily number of tests doesn't match the cumulative number of tests often.

But you can get the historical progression of cases, hospitalizations, and deaths here.  I also have the tests, but I'm less certain about the numbers because the State's numbers seem to be off.

STATE Charts

The chart above is a screenshot image - if you click on it, it will enlarge and focus.  But it's not interactive.  The same chart, below, IS interactive.  But it changes daily.  I put the screenshots are up here on the blog to preserve the day-to-day record of what was posted.



The State has been posting the Geographical Distribution of Confirmed Cases since the changed to the new reporting format.  I haven't duplicated it here, but every once in a while it gets copied with the other chart, so I'm leaving it in today.

Cases depicted above represent permanent residency of the infected person, and may not reflect where the person is located currently, or was located when exposed or diagnosed.

Check the cumulative test data and then compare it to the daily test data.  The new tests generally are less than the difference between today's cumulative tests and yesterday's.  It seems there's something odd going on with the State daily test numbers.   Today's says zero State tests and yesterday only shows 29.  That doesn't seem right.

My day-by-day tracking of the numbers.
