Dr. Leslie Gonsette & Dr. Robin Ninefeldt, COVID-19 mitigation advocates
Leslie Gonsette, M.D., a hospitalist at Providence Alaska Medical Center, gave prominent testimony at two Anchorage Assembly meetings in favor of Covid mitigation. We discuss her experiences in the hospital and in the assembly chambers. Robin Ninefeldt, M.D., who owns her own medical practice, also testified in favor of the Covid mitigation ordinance. She authored a letter to the editor published in the Anchorage Daily News co-signed by over 300 Anchorage health care providers urging the public to do everything possible to slow the pandemic. Special guest on today's show: co-founder of Anchorage Action Yarrow Silvers, who comments on the death of a fellow testifier.
