Alaska COVID-19 Count Friday April 24, 2020 - Again 2 More Cases


The trend is good.  I'm tempted to point out that there were 469 new tests and only 2 positives.  But the dates of tests and when positives get on the State's charts don't necessarily match.  But still, the number of positives and tests over the last week or so means we have a very low number of positives.

And while reports elsewhere suggest that there are many more undetected positives than actually tested positives, we aren't seeing a surge in tested positives, new hospitalizations, or deaths.  That could mean that there aren't as many undetected positives, few people who get infected in Alaska get sick enough to get tested, that self-isolation is working, or . . . (I'm leaving that extra or in there because I'm sure I'm not coming up with all the possible explanations.)

For anyone who wants to see Alaska's numbers compared to those of other states, this Google Doc Spreadsheet (not sure who put it up) consolidates data from different sources.  It shows Alaska, as of today, the state with the fewest documented cases.  It also says we have 16 tests per 1000 people.  But it also says we have had more tests than the State numbers offered today.  And there are by my quick count, 16 states with higher test/capita scores.   One other note:  yesterday there were 209 recovered and today there are only 208.  I think it's good that the State corrects the numbers.  It would be nice if there was a place on the site that explained those corrections.
