Scroll down the page to where is has the map titled "Big Picture". It shows all the areas in Alaska that have the Corona Virus. Even lists in those areas the names of the Towns , Cities and Villages that have Covid -19.

BUT!!! when it comes to the Yukon Koyukuk Census area , they only say (60, 1 DEAD) . What is so special about that section of Alaska , that they don't want to disclose what Towns, Cities, Villages have Covid-19; but they will for the rest of Alaska? Don't the RESIDENTS in those Towns have a right to know?

We are up to 64 cases this morning.

But the problem is HIPPA. Some of these places are small enough that IF they were identified, people could figure out who is sick.

Of course that seems eminently reasonable to you and to me. If you don't know who is sick, how can you assess your own possible exposure ?

I know if I become infected I plan to make it known so others may benefit......hopefully. To heck with their privacy regulations. It is MY data and I have a right to release it.

EDIT: 66 cases this afternoon

I think, as White17 mentioned, it is HIPPA plus the fact that in many of the villages that have imposed very restrictive travel bans on outsiders, but have infection problems cause by their own lack of enforcement of CV19 protocols on their own residents.

I think it would be rather embarrassing for these villages if the truth were known.

Apparently Trump is going to address the country tonight. Sounds like he will be talking about a breakthrough in treating covid. Maybe he finally fired the political doctors and took the advice from some of the doctors who have been curing covid for months now with HQ and the other parasite drug that has been so effective.

we are in the same situation. it makes no sence i talked to our doctor at the clinic the otherday and asked how many cases we had on acount the news is not saying the cases of trappercreek and talkeetna. she instintly clamed up. she did not exspect that qustion. i dont no why they are not saying. she only told me there was alot. a person i know told me evry one at mahays jet botes has the virus and are now quritening. after one of them has ben to the post ofice cubbys the gas station and more. i think king dunvley is haveing them not publish numbers so the tourist dollers keep things going.

Canvasback from the start the state has said they will only identify the area not the town if the population is under 1000. Take Dillingham census area for example 5 cases on the chart you looked at that encompases Dillingham,and all the following villages Aleknagik, Manakotak, Twin Hills, Togiak, Portage Creek, Clarks Point, Ekuk, New Stuyahok, and Koliganek . All those villages must be flown to from Dillingham and we don't necessarily know what village if someone test positive from a village but we do know if they are from Dillingham even though the state doesn't list it we get told, so it isn't just secrecy in the Yukon it is large portions of the state. Like Bethel it says Bethel 20 other 17 the 17 are from outlying villages
