Delta Variant Surge Pushes Alaska's Sparse Health Care Infrastructure To The Brink

[Dana7360]

Alaska is having a hard time with the virus.

Half their problem is the lack of health care facilities. What makes things worse, they aren't right next door to another state so it's not easy or quick to transport someone out of state.

Yes, Alaska has a lot of remote areas that the only way to get to is by plane.

Which in my opinion is a reason to put health care facilities in those areas. Not the reason to not put health care facilities in those areas.

It's not profitable so the much needed facilities aren't built and established.

A community health care center for each county would also help people to get vaccinated.

People need to get vaccinated.

Covid is spreading faster in Alaska than any other state in the U.S.

In the past two weeks, Alaska’s case count increased by 72 percent, the highest in the country, as it tops state case and death records.

If you line up trumpkins populations and covid rates, you will note that the areas almost exactly overlap.

perhaps that confuses you.

This isn't a political thing. No matter how much the right wants to make it into a political thing.

This is a public health thing and people are dying.

Alaska is having to bring in health care workers from other states because they don't have enough people to handle the number of cases in the state.

Like I said, it's not easy to transport someone to another state from Alaska. It's not easy to transport someone from a remote area of Alaska to Fairbanks or Anchorage.

Which is why Alaska needs to wake up and start building health care centers outside the urban areas.

Trumpkins all over the world eh?

I knew he was popular, but damn.

Dana7360 You're working really hard to find areas "surging with Covid". A couple of our most sparsely popuated states with proportionately sparse health care facilities is dealing with a few hundred cases. Fake news SSDD.

Everything with you is a political thing and every post you make serves your Stalinist agenda.

The people dying hasn't changed, covid is still and always will be about pre-existing conditions. None of it warrants trying to force an experimental treatment on the masses.
