Alaska COVID-19 Count April 7, 2020 - 22 More Cases, Highest Ever

The most prominent numbers on the State's new charts have been:

• New Cases
• Total Cases
• Hospitalizations (total)
• Deaths

Today's chart drops new cases and replaces it with "Recovered."   I wrote a long complaint about the State dropping "New Cases".  But eventually I found that in the box that says "Total Cases" there's a tab that will let you switch to "New Cases."  So the info is there, but I've been checking these charts since March 11 and it took me a while to find the tab to make the switch.  (Can you see the tab in the April 7 version, under the 213?  Didn't think so.)

I think it would be better to:

• Make five slightly smaller boxes and have all five numbers visible at once, or
• Make "New Cases" and "Recovered Cases" the ones that have a tab, with "New Cases" the default statistic.
  
  
  
    

Enough editorial.  Here's my new calendar chart:
