Covid continues in Alaska:

Alaska reports 21 COVID-19 deaths, and now has among the nation’s highest rates for recent fatalities

Health officials also reported a total of 3,878 new infections in residents over a 3-day period between Friday and Sunday, including a near-record of 1,575 resident cases reported for Sunday.

As of Monday, 62.9% of eligible Alaskans had received at least one dose of vaccine and 58.9% were considered fully vaccinated. Alaska ranked 30th in the country for vaccination rates, a slight uptick since last week.

Statewide, 9.18% of the tests conducted last week came up positive for the virus. Health experts say anything over 5% indicates there isn’t enough testing going on.

My wife and I have reservations for Pfizer booster shots on Friday.

Remember, 1 in every 7 residents have had confirmed Covid-19 diagnoses’.
