Alaska COVID-19 Count Tuesday April 28, 2020 - 6 New Cases

We're moving back up, though I don't think this yet reflects the change in the Governor's or the Mayor's policies.  Instead I suspect it reflects that while we've had restrictive rules, lots of people have been out without masks.  I biked yesterday and I was the only person I saw who had his face covered.  Too many people aren't taking this seriously.  While most folks probably won't have to deal with much more than a week of illness, or less, if they get the virus, there are still many others who will have a much nastier illness and some will even die.  The more people out there spreading the virus (without a mask, asymptomatic folks will be giving it to others), the more people will get infected, the more that will get seriously sick, and the more who will die.

So we had six more cases with a total of 351 people who have tested positive.  37 have been sick enough to be hospitalized.  228 have recovered and 9 will never recover because they died.

My Day-To-Day Chart





This got posted late today because while it was almost finished, I had a zoom request from my granddaughter and that lasted on and off for several hours.  We did some of her homework, we took out the compost here and I showed her the daffodils coming up.  She showed me the dead daffodil flowers at her house and walked me around the place three times.  We played "Take Me Chess" which was a new game for me.  The winner is the one who loses their king first.  If you can take the other person's piece, you have to.  And then she told me she wanted to learn to knit.  She had two needles and some yarn.  So I found a learn to knit video and we used screen share and watched it as she learned how to make a slip knot and attach it to her needle.  Then she learned to do the first row of stitches.  Her battery was low so she couldn't move the computer to the keyboard where she had to practice piano.  So I called my friend in Chicago and while we were talking, Z got back on Zoom, so we got my friend to join us there.  One thing tends to lead to another.  I also got a request from someone to remove a link from an old post called "Who Owns Your Tattoo?"  The link wasn't working any more.  The emailer said he'd set up a 'playpen site' for a friend to experiment with but the account is no longer active and
"Would you mind removing that link? I'm looking at some server issues because the Google Bots, for one reason or another have taken a mad interest in it..."
So I was looking for an alternative to the link I'd had there when my granddaughter zoomed me.  So I've changed the link now.  Stuff just adds up.  We've had wonderful sunny days the last few days.

And talking about tattoos, it occurred to me yesterday, with the news that tattoo shops could open now, that possibly people might want Coronavirus tattoos.  So I called four local shops.  I had to leave messages at two.  But Trish, at The Hole Look, said they weren't open yet.  They needed a few days to be ready for the new guidelines.  When I asked about Coronavirus tattoos, she laughed and said, "You know, one artist joked about that, but said it would be bad juju to sign your name on it."
Christina, at Unique Ink, also said they won't open until May 1 and that you'll need an appointment, and they're making forms for people to fill out.  She hadn't thought about Coronavirus tattoos, but said, "Sure, we could do that.  Probably people will want that."

I'd like to mention my previous post.  It's one I think is important, so if you haven't seen it I'd recommend it.  Even if you just go to see the cartoon at the top which serendipitously showed up as I was starting to write the post.  It's about the book The Overstory, in which trees are the heroes and people the villains.  But the post pulls in a lot more related ideas as well.  It seems my title didn't get the message across.
