let me just ask you one last procedural question. as i mentioned, the anchorage assembly did pass this mask ordinance by a 9-1 vote. then the mayor came in and vetoed it. he said immediately he would veto it and he did. as far as i understand, the assembly is meeting tonight to try to override that veto, which effectively would put the ordinance back in place. do you expect they will do that? i do expect they will do that. that meeting is actually happening tomorrow at 5:00 p.m. because they only need eight votes to override his veto with the super majority and the ordinance passed with nine votes it is clear it will likely pass. currently the ordinance is not in effect, but it will go back into effect as soon as that veto override passes. emily goodykoontz, reporter at the anchorage daily news in

recommending a mask ordinance. i ll chime in on the combination of vaccines and tell you 92% of the new cases, 98% of the hospitalations in l.a. county are coming from unvaccinated individuals. take that for what you will, but that s more evidence that these vaccinations are working and keeping people out of hospital. this truly is, at least in l.a. county, a story and a pandemic for unvaccinated folks. dr. patel, we ve talked today and we ve talked previously about, you know, what is it going to take to get the vaccine hesitant on board? and it appears, you know, republican commentators and republican lawmakers are changing their tune on this. take a look at there. theis shots need to get in everybody s arm as rapidly as possible or we ll be pack in a situation in the fall that we don t yearn for that we went through last year. i m very concerned about vaccine hesitancy among anybody. republicans as it turns out are
