Emergency crisis protocols have been activated in Alaska, allowing 20 medical facilities to ration care as necessary during a COVID-19 spike in the U.S.
Three facilities covered by the declaration Saturday had already announced their own emergency protocols, including Alaska’s largest hospital, Providence Alaska Medical Center in Anchorage, The Associated Press reported .
“Today’s action recognizes that Alaska has an interconnected and interdependent health care system, requiring the need for activation of the state’s decision-making framework. That framework includes a progression of conventional, contingency and crisis standards,” said the state health department in its statement announcing the emergency protocol activation.
Alaska’s health commissioner, Adam Crum, said, “I want to stress that our health care facilities in Alaska remain open and able to care for patients. Alaskans who need medical care should not delay seeking it, even during these difficult times.”
The state activated emergency protocols as medical resources at some facilities grew scarce, staff was limited, and limited bed availability made it difficult to transfer patients, according to the AP.
One person in every 84 people in Alaska was diagnosed with COVID-19 from Sept. 22 to Sept. 29, according to data collected by Johns Hopkins University Center for Systems Science and Engineering. The next highest rate is in West Virginia, with one in every 164 people.
Fairbanks Memorial Hospital activated its own emergency protocols on Friday before it was covered by the state’s as it lacked enough beds, staff, and monoclonal antibody treatments, in addition to being unable to transfer patients, the wire service reported.

“The move to Crisis Standards of Care is not something we take lightly,” according to a statement by Fairbanks Chief Medical Officer Dr. Angelique Ramirez. “This is in response to a very serious surge of COVID in our community.”
The state reported 1,044 new cases on Friday, with 108 of them in the Fairbanks area. On Saturday, 35% of patients were being treated for COVID-19, the hospital said, according to the AP.There has been a total of 110,850 COVID-19 cases in Alaska since March 2020, which has about a 731,000 population.

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
