Alaska COVID-19 Count Sunday May 31, 2020 - 27 NEW CASES - Most Ever

When the State is an hour past their "Updates will typically occur by 12:00 PM AKDT daily" promise (often their up before 11 am) I wonder if it's just because it's Sunday or whether they don't want to tell us the bad news.  The increased number of folks back out in the world, plus the demonstrations yesterday here (and other places) suggests a likely spike in a couple of weeks by the latest.

Meanwhile, while I'm waiting for the numbers, let me say once again, this is the last of these regular posts on the virus.  Instead, I'll update on a tab (what Blogger calls a Page) just below the header picture on top.


OK - the numbers were put up 15 minutes ago, now.  I guess it was the bad news that held things up.  27 NEW CASES.  That's the most we've ever had in one day.  The previous high was 22 on April 7.  This really shows the impact of hunkering down and then easing up the restrictions.  I'm hoping the governor and mayor get us back on hunkering down.  This isn't just a freak number.  This last week the numbers have been higher than the week before.

I'd note that yesterday's state chart (you can see the screenshot in yesterday's post) said there were 334 cases - so by my count that would mean we had 36 new cases to get us to 360.  But for various legitimate reasons the state adjusts numbers.  That's another reason why I'm tracking the original numbers and not adjusting daily.

It's going to get a lot bumpier from here on unless things get shut down again fast. This shows there have been a lot of untested folks out there and with the demonstrations in support of George Floyd yesterday, a lot more people were probably infected.
