Municipalities across the state have dropped pandemic restrictions, but a lot of people are still getting COVID-19. KTOO’s Claire Stremple talked with Dr. Anne Zink about how the state is tracking the pandemic and what people can do to be safe.
So, I myself got COVID last week — maybe you can hear some lingering congestion in my voice. It was a strange moment, after spending two years working to avoid getting sick, to get COVID while I’m hearing about a “post-pandemic” world. And I wasn’t alone. A lot of people I know here in Juneau are also getting sick lately.
[I’m] not surprised that many vaccinated people are getting COVID-19 right now, as it is so transmissible. But what’s great is to see some of our lowest hospitalization rates during the whole pandemic, is what we’re seeing right now. And we’re just not seeing the same rate of people getting really sick, needing to go to the emergency department, being hospitalized and dying from this disease.
The same is true with influenza and with other diseases where they have really gone to a surveillance reporting, so, looking at the overall state and getting a sampling to have a good sense of what’s happening with that disease progression.
