During this no-threat time, tyrant Mayor Berkowitz has shut down restaurants (fining Kriner’s Diner), churches, and mandates masks — says we’re “code red” with the “numbers spiking!”

I continue to closely monitor Alaska’s hospital capacity and rely on the best data to guide my decisions.

As of August 6, only 1.7% of our hospital beds are occupied by someone with COVID-19. Likewise, only three of the 349 ventilators statewide are being used by someone with COVID-19 – a ratio of under 1%.

By working together and practicing social distancing, wearing a mask in public, and staying home when sick we can help keep our hospitals from being overwhelmed.
