Here's a screenshot of today's data.  I'll put the interactive version below it.

You can click on the image above to enlarge and focus it.  But only the one below is interactive.


Scroll right to see the rest of the data, but remember to scroll back to the left to see the rest of the post.  And play with the tabs to see different visualizations.

*Cases depicted in the map above represent residency of the infected person, and may not reflect where the person was located when tested positive. For example, the case shown in Petersburg Borough represents an individual who had residency status in Petersburg but was not currently residing there at the time of infection.

Most of the numbers work for me today.  There is still a glitch with the daily test graph.  It shows 18 new tests, but the cumulative tests graph shows about 244 new tests.  Nevertheless, the Department of Health has come a long way with these beautiful interactive graphics.



Here's my chart which shows the numbers day-by-day from March 11.

Alaska Covid-19 Data NewFor... by Steve on Scribd

Here are a couple of graphs of total cases and total dead.  The gap is where I moved to April and left a blank row.

We're still going up pretty steadily.

We had a six day plateau, and then we started going up again.  Two of the six deaths are Alaskans who died out of state.


All COVID and no play makes Steve a dull boy.  I'm working on a longer post that combines idea from the book I'm reading - The Overstory - and ideas about the pandemic, capitalism, how we treat the natural world, and laws of nature rebalancing things.  It's way too complicated right now, but I think it's right on the mark.  Be patient with me please.  I'm putting this here to put more pressure on myself to get it done.
