Crap, crap, crap. There is a #COVID19 case in rural Alaska (off the road system). Specific village isn& #39;t mentioned - it& #39;s only listed as Yukon-Koyukuk census area. It is unknown if it is community spread or travel at this point.

There are 11 new cases from yesterday and 15 hospitalizations (I think they are counting the Alaskan that died in Washington State as part of this hospitalization count). Of that 3 have died so there are 12 people in the hospital, currently.

Officially, 16 people have recovered, but Dr. Zink believes there are probably more.
My note: If we could test everyone, which we should be doing, then we& #39;d have a much better idea of how many have vs don& #39;t.

I& #39;m hoping recently approved blood test by FDA will help determine who has had COVID and who hasn& #39;t. That is the only way we are going to get a handle on this.
Alaskans are being asked to cover our nose/mouth with a cloth face cover for grocery shopping/picking up prescriptions or where you will encounter people in a building. Dr. Zink gave guidelines on use (how 2 remove, wash hands, not 2 protect YOU from virus, but 2 protect others).

Governor Dunleavy is talking about church services. He said they are not condoning gatherings. Someone in the religious community asked if they could have a service in a parking lot if they stayed in their cars.
Geez people, you can& #39;t not go to church for awhile?

I mean, can we be innovative and have online services where the pastor creates a recording and people can watch?
I guess I& #39;m a bad Christian.
