Alabama and Massachusetts Are Handing the Addresses of People With Coronavirus Over to Police
*SNIP*
Two U.S. states — Alabama and Massachusetts — have begun providing the addresses of those known to have been diagnosed with COVID-19 to police in a bid to contain the spread and protect first responders who might answer a call where a coronavirus sufferer is involved.
Alabama began providing the addresses — but not names — to police and other emergency responders starting more than a week ago. The information is being distributed to 85 emergency communications districts in the state, and is then relayed to police officers and other first responders when they go out on calls.

It probably crashed because I was clicking on refresh every 60 seconds to be the first to report "1000"I think Alabama is working on the reporting site or something.
Last night for several hours, the site was crashed and kept showing "fatal error" (we had already hit 999 confirmed cases earlier). Now it is up, but now the confirmed cases are staying at 999.
Just guessing, but it seemed to me that for some reason the site locked up when they try to enter the new cases....guess 999 confirmed cases was as high as the programmer thought it would get. geez. In the meantime, I figure it will be a drastic increase if they ever get that little fault fixed.
