Correction: death was AK resident, but out-of-state.
AK businesses gearing up to make PPE. Distilleries gearing up to make sanitizers.
Happy Big Mike is leading and not limpWalker or the Bagboy.

The first death of an Alaskan who contracted the Wuhan coronavirus was announced today. The person died out of state, said Dr. Anne Zink, chief medical officer for the State of Alaska. The person who died had been in Washington state for some time, acquired the virus there and died there. The person was older and had other health risk factors. Another six cases were announced today: Juneau -1, Sterling-1, Fairbanks-2, Ketchikan-2. A total of 42 cases are known across the state. Gov. Mike Dunleavy said he is preparing to announce ways the private sector is going to rise to help meet the need to create items needed to combat the pandemic: They’ll be making test swabs that are RDA approved, personal protective equipment like masks and gowns, and distilleries will start making hand sanitizer. The details about these efforts will be announced on Wednesday. Dunleavy and Zink reemphasized the need for all Alaskans to take the advice of experts, and to stay out of public, stay at home, and do whatever they can to not be close to other people except those in their immediate household. ‘The cases we see now are of people who got the disease over a week ago,” Zink said. https://mustreadalaska.com/first-alaskan-death-due-to-covid-six-new-cases/

That case in Sterling is a scary one. He is a young guy who wasnt traveling and is a cashier at Fred Meyers.

Just figure it is community wide at this point. With 45 known, a whole bunch presumptive, the estimates are there are anywhere from 250 (probably way low) to more than 2500 (likely high, but we will probably get there) active cases in the state. JBER is rumored to have just gone to delta.

BTW The governor has now banned intrastate travel except for essential people. Right now you aren't suppose to fly from Anchorage to Kodiak.

To be fair, the disease is centered mostly around the urban areas. The bush communities have dodged it so far.

Yup, this a son of a b_tch. Just saw a CTV piece where this has happened in Ontario. Not sure how well that health care system will respond.

And then there was Bethel... the first case there was announced yesterday and this could be the start of something very ugly. For a bunch of social and "cultural" reasons this could go screaming through the town and into a ton of villages throughout western AK. A lot of people's worst fear.

Hope they distance. Obviously a traveler.
