Ketchikan Chinese Flu Update, A&P Changes their Store Hours, AMHS and a Funny Joke at the Expense of Lawyers

Another day another resident tests positive, this time it's the wife of the gentleman who was Ketchikan's patient zero: 

KRBD:
Ketchikan now has two confirmed coronavirus cases — in the same household. The first individual to test positive identified himself on social media as Glenn Brown, Ketchikan’s borough attorney. He’s also a KRBD board member. The second confirmed case is his wife, officials said.

The moral of the story is that attorney's never produce anything of value to their communities (I joke, I joke but you all thought of that already so don't blame! And it sounds like they are recovering well in quarantine.) Speaking of jokes here's a good one: 

What does a lawyer get when you give him Viagra? Taller.

KRBD:

Ketchikan’s local hospital is restricting visitors and posting security by entrances as it prepares for the coronavirus pandemic.

“Other entrances will be locked,” PeaceHealth Ketchikan Medical Center wrote in a Thursday afternoon news release.

The provider says it’ll consider exceptions on a case-by-case basis, but hospital officials encourage loved ones to consider virtual visits via video calls.

The hospital will still accept emergency room patients who don’t present life-threatening conditions at its main entrance between 6:30 a.m. and 6:30 p.m., the provider said.

After that, the main entrance will close. The hospital will take after-hours emergency patients via the ambulance entrance at Carlanna Lake Road. Guards will ask patients screening questions and take their temperature before they enter.

AMHS Announces New Boarding Process

(KETCHIKAN, Alaska) – The Alaska Marine Highway System (AMHS) is required to immediately report any illness of persons on board our vessels to the U.S. Coast Guard and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). A new boarding process has been put in place to avoid disruptions to service or a situation involving passengers quarantined aboard ship.

Travelers will be observed by AMHS staff during the ticketing and boarding process. If a traveler exhibits symptoms consistent with COVID-19 or other flu-like illnesses, they will not be allowed to board and will receive a full refund. AMHS is allowing customers to cancel any existing reservations without fees or penalties from now through April 8, 2020.

Speaking of changes the IFA is continuing it's daily runs and has restricted the Galley meals to a limited menu to comply with the Governor's mandates. If that changes, we will let you know.
