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.

This Cumulative Cases By Day graph in the lower left of the chart above, appears to be new. I've checked my previous screenshots of this chart and it wasn't there.   And is a welcome addition.  Soon my posts will be redundant as the State puts up all the things I've felt were needed to be up.

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

Stay distanced. Stay healthy.  Lean on your legislators to get more tests out so we can go get out of isolation sooner than later.  I didn't say 'back to normal' because I hope we'll be rethinking what 'normal' means and find a new, more humane, normal.  One that puts people above profits.

Alaska COVID-19 Count April 11, 2020 - 11 More Pos, 1 New Death, 3 New Hospitalized

The State of Alaska says our population is 731,007.  Today's stats say that 7731 people have been tested for COVID-19.   So just slightly over 1 percent of Alaskans have been tested.
Worldometer reports (today) says the US has tested 7,929 people per million, while Alaska has tested 10,470 per million.  Twelve other states have a higher test per million score.  New York's on top with 22,478 per million.

You can see all these specific COVID-19 count posts here.   At this point there probably isn't much need to do that unless you want to see all the historical reports from the State.  The new charts allow you to go back and look at the charts to April 1.  What most people might need is probably in the tables  I've made.  

What The Governor Vetoed And What He Didn't

From an email from my State Senator Elvi Jackson-Gray.
I really am not sure what it all means.  There's not enough total context.  I put it up just to get it into people's consciousness and so you can all start asking more questions.

Senate Bill 205 Operating Budget  I have included a non-exhaustive list of line-item vetoes proposed by Governor Dunleavy below, but you can find a full list at the link: https://bit.ly/2wlvDhF $30 million in Education and Early Childhood Development $36.7 million Regional Educational Attendance Area Deposit $12.5 million University of Alaska $100 million School Bond Debt Reimbursement $4.3 million Pre-K $1.05 billion transfer to the corpus of the Permanent Fund for inflation proofing $15.5 million Alaska Marine Highway $16.2 million AMHS crew quarters $31 million Medicaid $3.4 million Ocean Rangers $2 million Public Broadcasting $1 million Spill Prevention and Response $2 million Behavioral Health Treatment and Recovery Grants $2.7 million Alaska Permanent Fund Corporation $1 million Alaska Recidivism Reduction and Recovery project $3 million Alaska Housing Finance Corporation Weatherization $5 million Alaska Housing Finance Corporation Homeless COVID-19 Response $2 million Alaska Housing Finance Corporation Special Needs Housing $2.7 million Alaska Housing Finance Corporation Teacher Health and Public safety Professional Housing $3.4 million Medicaid Services $4.7 million Designated Evaluation and Treatment $334,000 from Appellate Courts $150,000 Rural Real ID Implementation.

State Charts from their website which has a lot more data.

The screenshot below is hi res so you can click on it and see it much larger and sharper.  But it's an image, so it's not interactive.  The much bigger version below  is interactive.

In Passing - Dunleavy Recall Shifts Gears, Alaska Airlines Extends Elite Status To December 2021

Recall Dunleavy campaign adjusts to Corona virus

The recall campaign was set to get its 70,000 plus signatures pretty fast this year.  Then the virus and its social distancing requirements slowed things down greatly.
I have to acknowledge that Gov. Dunleavy has done reasonably well on the regular briefings on the Corona Virus.  He knows things.  He doesn't ramble too often.  And most importantly, he lets his superstar medical director Dr. Anne Zink explain things in her clear yet in-depth and dispassionate manner without interrupting her.  Or maybe he just looks good in comparison to someone else.
But off camera he continues to act in ways that remind us why so many people want him recalled - such as the $500,000 no bid, surprise contract for distance ed to a Florida organization.  And his recent vetoes of so much of the budget.

The recall campaign is now mailing petitions to people's homes.  Below are links to get your petition:

Thank you for working with us to save Alaska. 🌟

RECALL UPDATES

Alaska Airlines extends people's elite status until December 2021.

Alaska Airlines sent us a congratulatory letter letting us know we had reached elite status back when we were flying to LA once a month when my mom, in her 90s, was not doing well.  We even got to MVP Gold two years.  With grandkids in San Francisco and Seattle, it's not hard getting our 20,000 miles for MVP each year now.  (Along with donations to organizations fighting climate change as a form of carbon offset.)

MVP offers us a few perks worth having:

• early and better selection of seats when booking (though this has deteriorated a bit)
• occasional upgrades to premium seats or first class
• frequent designation as pre-check to get us through security with less hassle
• early boarding flights
• a phone number that gets us to an operator without any wait when we need to call

So with flying questionable this year for many people, getting MVP this year didn't seem likely.  Until Alaska Airlines emailed yesterday to say it would be extended through next year.  Thanks.

Today's email was that food service was pretty much ended on flights for the time being on flights under 350 miles and a water bottle for longer flights.  But that merely limits unnecessary closer than 6 foot contact.  

I'd note that I'm not comfortable with the term 'elite status.'  I guess in part because Conservatives throw around the word 'elite' to indicate anyone with an education and because it is something of a class distinction in our supposedly classless society.  But I don't see any Republicans refusing to take advantage of the perks that come with MVP.  Nor do I see egalitarian Democrats refusing their upgrades either.
