Just so happens your friendly neighborhood pede (me) has family that lives and works all over the state, including the villages

ANCHORAGE:

Business as normal.

Fact: patient to staff ratio is up.

Cause: they have less staff because of the jab mandate, tons of staff left in protest. Patient count is actually a little down.

.

Fact: sections of hospitals are closed.

Cause: same as above. Don't have staff to keep them open, so they mothballed sections just for now.

.

Suggested: ER is overrun, epidemic.

Fact: Completely false. They have busy nights and slow nights. Night my family went in to check it out, there were no patients, lots of staff on standby.

.

FAIRBANKS

Same as above: business as normal.

Clinics: same. Any reports about the state becoming a death wasteland is nothingburgers.

Sources: two sisters and my nieces/nefews (nurse, technician, IT staff) 37 years living in-state. None jabbed!
