The doctors at the World Health Organizations say that we should wear face masks. The doctors at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention say that we should wear face masks. Doctor Fauci at the National Institute of Health says we should wear face masks. Alaska’s chief medical officer, Doctor Zink, says we should wear face masks. Alaska’s governor says it is optional. The infection rates and death rates continue to increase. Why is our governor, who has the authority to reduce the infection rates and death rates, not doing something to reduce those rates? He doesn’t seem to care.
