Alaska COVID-19 Count Wednesday April 29, 2020 - 4 New Cases

Four new cases.
One Hospitalization removed. (I guess they fixed an error)
Twelve more people listed as recovered.

Professor EJR David and his family reported a research project they did to find out how many people and which people are wearing masks.  It's rough because they did classifications of age and gender and race visually.  It was in today's Anchorage Daily News.  Here are the findings:

"Overall, we found that 49.1% of all the people we observed wore face masks. The data showed that 51.2% of Carrs shoppers, 52.4% of Fred Meyer shoppers, 35.4% of Walmart shoppers and 62.2% of Costco shoppers wore face masks (see Figure 1). In terms of age group, 80% of people who looked to be below 20 years old, 62.2% of people who looked to be 60 years old or above, and 57.3% of people who looked to be between 40-59 years old wore face masks, but only 29.4% of people who looked to be 20-39 years old wore face masks. We also found that 55.4% of females wore face masks, compared to only 40.3% of males.
In terms of race, we found that 38.5% of people who looked white wore face masks, whereas 66.7% of people who looked like they were people of color wore face masks. Among those who looked black, 68.6% wore face masks. Among those who looked Native, 50% wore face masks. Among those who looked Asian, 70.6% wore face masks. Finally, among those who looked like they were “brown” (maybe Pacific Islander, Latino, multiracial), 70.6% wore face masks. We conducted a series of chi-square tests of independence and all the results were statistically significant at the p < .05 level, suggesting that the type of store and a person’s age, sex and race mattered beyond chance in determining whether they wore a face mask or not."

A great COVID-19 family isolation project.  They checked from parking lots at Carr's (Safeway), Fred Meyer, Walmart, and Costco.

My Day-By-Day Chart

There was one less hospitalization today than yesterday.  I'm assuming they made some sort of adjustment as new information came in.
