This may be the most heated thread ever in the AK HT Forum history, tracing back when it was AK/HI.

Everyone pull your dicks out of your own asses and let this thread develop in the Alaskan way. Let's be productive while we shit on eachother at least.

Y'all are acting like a bunch of lower 48ers.

Bottom line is Fairbanks is in the early stages of losing its shit. They're probably going to make a movie about us in 10 years.

Costco is pretty damn empty right now. They had a big whiteboard of OOS in the back where paper goods would be.
Sportsmans was looking rough on ammo as well.

Gonna be weird. Naturally 35mph winds and up to 17” of snow are forecast when I wanted to check zero.

17"?

Where did you see that?

WUnderground forecast for NP between now and Thursday. Hope it’s wrong, because that’ll suck.

Ethan Berkowitz, Mayo? Municipality ofAnchorage, Alaska

Lol!

Im normally not a Nervous Nelly but I am seriously considering staying out of Anchorage for a little bit.

It’s not the worst plan. I’m digging my camper out next weekend and prepping it.

The heat is one sided, Im too busy laughing my ass off at irrational notions.

your a troll, look at your post count, You sit in your chair and type all day long.

I still dont see you planning anything, coming up with any solutions or doing anything proactive besides typing and talking shit on peoples posts.

Perhaps his post count is higher than yours because he contributes more. You are highly sensitive.

Feel free to continue your autistic screeching. Its amusing.

This is fun. What are you guys doing tomorrow?  We should do this again.

Blowing up a bridge is a plan? What solutions have you brought to the table that aren’t deserving of a visit from law enforcement?

Come on now, someone sneezing in Cantwell is a perfectly viable reason to commit domestic terrorism and possibly kill a bunch of people.  There’s no possible way that it could go sideways.  I even brought in my best planner for it, he has decades of expertise in demolitions work.

I’m hoping the weather guy for the interior is on crack. I’m seeing a possible 20” of snow in the forecast for this upcoming week.

You’re*

My plans are my own, and those that matter to me know them. Creating anarchy with infrastructure demolition are not part of them, but you do you, booboo.

Of course, so we’ll have 20” of powder on a hard frozen crust with 10” of compressed slush under it. My ankles hurt already thinking about it.

Hey guys, leave the purse swinging in GD.

Let's keep this thread useful for Alaskans.

We were past it until you brought it up again.

Anywho, they pulled all passes for soldiers beyond fairbanks/north pole. We have a 25 mile bubble prett much from Salcha to Hilltop, Two rivers and Crooked Creek rd (unless some random lives beyond those limits.) Next it will be hunker down in place Im betting.. To top it off there’s chickenpox going around, our youngest had to get pulled out of daycare for it this past week.

So battalion run, then?

Sadler's is closing until further notice at 6pm tonight.

Melting out this way.
With the south wind the river have a bunch of overflow. Makes getting around on the snogo a little harder.

State paved roads are coming apart.
Potholes big enough to swallow small cars.

How would a bunker in place work for .mil people though?  Opsec and all, but just straight to work and home or ?  Sounds like it would be a gigantic pain in the ass IMO.

But yeah, they already ordered a lot of places shuttered so I’m guessing staying put is coming soon.  I’m looking forward to the increase in infected in the reports tonight.  We were up to 14 or 15 yesterday from 2-3 on Tuesday if memory serves.. No word on the test results from UAF staff, but rumors are that the positive guy was going to church and hanging out with the other shops on campus, so there could be a whole new clusterfuck about to happen.

When did this come out?  Last I was told it was 350 miles and air travel was authorized.

that explains alot, your a little military dependent fucktard who thinks hes badass cause your issued a rifle. Guess what, you aint shit without all the rest of the army behind you, by yourself your useless and that explains your willingness to cave in. You are so adept to just let the failing government policies in place continue to let this advance and destroy economies, peoples lives and disrupt the wonderful system you love so much.

I think youve all forgotten that everyone with radical ideas is berated and harassed by others, General George Washington was also a terrorist in the eyes of the british empire he arose from, think that stopped him from enacting? And how many of you in the Old drinking pubs and taverns of the 1770s would stand up to fight or just sit down and let the ruling powers at be set your fate.

but you just focus on fixing my typing because thats what you do, troll.

and before you jump on me about the military comment, I went to benning also way before you could have cellphone during basic.

Username fits.

Latest numbers I've seen.  Mind you, test results take 3-5 days last I've heard.  The latest Fairbanks positive worked at UAF as well.  Arctic Health Research building.  The previous one was at School of Fisheries on campus.  No word on the other test results.

FBX 6 confirmed
ANC 4 confirmed
Ketch 4 confirmed
Seward 1 confirmed

None of which are any passable reason to consider domestic terrorism or other fucktarded actions.  Pretty sure that's site ban worthy as well.

Which is just great because my step-mom has been at the university these past couple weeks even with spring break. The classes she teaches are not easily done online, so I hope this doesnt bite her in the ass.

I’m guessing they waived the GT requirement back then, too.

Since you didn't mention an MOS, I'm guessing you got TDPed for punching your drill sergeant?

Yikes.  I'll keep my fingers crossed.  Family members are still at work on the hill here too.  If I hear anything I'll let you know.

She never had chicken pox as a kid so we can’t visit until April anyways, but we’ll likely be waiting until Easter.

I'll cough in your mouth for $20.

really? I was starting to think I was the only one. It sucked for a day then I slept for 3-1/2 days.

@whoreable
are you serious about blowing up the bridge?
because I dont think you are.

Similar experience. Slept for like 23 hours a day for 4 days.

3 more in Ketchikan

Blow their bridge up!!!! Oh.... wait

Wife's coworker stayed home with fever today. Call out lady got call from hospital one of her customers has tested positive. After hearing her symptoms they said come get tested. Another coworker of hers got the same call but has no symptoms. My wife had dinner with them the same day as they had the customer. This was about a week ago.

Dont care if we have it, we just dont want to spread it.

Hopefully nothing.

Sand Hill!?

In the dems are calling for bridges to be blown thread in gd.

That brings us to 17 from what 1 or 2 on Monday? Somehow I doubt the hospitals in state have room for more than 20-50 people in ICU for this.  As far as I know FMH only has 3 negative pressure rooms in the ED, but I'm not sure about ICU capacity there.  Dunleavy is going to have some hard choices to make.

Governor Mike Dunleavy
I will not be holding a press briefing tonight. Today there were 7 new positive cases for COVID-19 in Anchorage (1), Fairbanks (1), Ketchikan (3), Sterling (1) and Soldotna (1). Alaskans do your part to slow the spread by staying home and practicing social distancing.

Learn more at www.coronavirus.alaska.gov

I have been told Fairbanks between Bassett and fmh has like 30 beds for this.

still more than I was expecting, so I'll call it a win for now at least.  Crossing my fingers we won't need them, but we'll see.  Someone will probably hack up a lung at Costco, Walmart, Sportsmans, or Freds and infect everyone.

They've been preparing for weeks at ANMC. Because they suddenly stopped hassling us 2 weeks ago. I'm sure our building which is 250 yards away from the hospital will be re-purposed as a C19 ward.

I feel kind of bad. I started the whole blowing up bridges as a joke. I didn't think anyone would take it seriously. Whoreable, relax man, either you aren't from Alaska or you are ok with burning your bridges (AHA!) with those who you may depend on later. If you haven't noticed, there aren't a lot of us (arfcomers) up here.

Mat-su reg and Ak reg have both shut down their ambulance bays and repurposed them into negative pressure rooms to triage/treat c19 patients.  AK reg has actually turned the entire ED into negative pressure area.  All ambulance traffic in and out of AK reg has to go through the ED main entrance.  MatSu is using a side door for EMS entry exit.  

Ak regional and St Elias are both screening and getting a temp check on EVERY person entering EVERY time they enter.  

ANMC's ER isn't as much of a cluster as usual to get into and out of with patients.  Hopefully they can keep it thay way once all this dies down or maybe fix it with their future building plans.

Seeing masks on the majority of staff even the desk jockeys in the ED's is the norm its amazing how many Alaska nurses go from a 4 to an 8 when the have a surgical mask on.

idiots watch it take over than
