Thanks to GOP antivaxxers, Alaska is on fire with the delta variant

 

Welcome to Trump's COVID legacy

GOP Governor Mike Dunleavy 
masked and ready for work

New York Times, 10/3/2021
Since that night, more grim choices have had to be made as Alaska confronts what is currently the nation’s worst coronavirus outbreak. Nearly two years after the virus began circulating in the United States, some of the scenes here on the country’s northern frontier echo the darkest early days of the pandemic: testing supplies are depleted, patients are being treated in hallways and doctors are rationing oxygen. With emergency rooms overwhelmed, the governor has asked hundreds of medical workers to fly in from around the country to help.

Wouldn't it be a lot cheaper to mandate that Alaskans mask up and get vaccinated?
