Alaska COVID-19 Count Sunday April 19, 2020 - Below Rt = 1 - New #s Are Good


  • 5 new cases
  • No new deaths
  • No new hospitalizations
  • 6 more recovered


To put this into another context the chart below, shows Alaska's Rt value:

These are up-to-date values for Rt, a key measure of how fast the virus is growing. It’s the average number of people who become infected by an infectious person. If Rt is above 1.0, the virus will spread quickly. When Rt is below 1.0, the virus will stop spreading. Learn More.  (Link shows all states, spoiler - we're the 7th best, 15 are 1 or below.) (I added the red - it's not hard, but you have to pay attention.)



In early April we went below 1  (how many people each infected person infects) - which, means the virus will stop spreading.  If we continue at this rate.  Isolation matters.  And testing.  We're doing well on isolation, not well at all on testing.  Testing will allow more people to do limited work.  We need more tests in the US.

But let's also remember that without widespread testing, we don't really know how many people are infected.  But the slow growth of new cases and new hospitalizations and new deaths is a good sign.

State Charts


Like every other day, this chart can be enlarged and focused with a click.  But it's a screenshot, so you have to use the chart below for interactivity.  Just play with your cursor over the chart to find lots of interesting numbers and options.   Or go to the original at the State site.  




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.
