meetings of the anchorage assembly, in the hospitals in anchorage it's coming home. in anchorage hospitals have been detailing threats and even assaults that they're encountering literally just for doing their job as doctors and nurses. >> i got assaulted when i swabbed somebody for covid who was literally on the verge of dying from covid. she didn't believe she had it and struck me and another nurse after we swabbed her. i think tensions are high in general. you ask somebody to put their mask on in the emergency department sitting next to a cancer patient with no immune system and we can't tell them that. we can't share that information but we're trying to protect our vulnerable patients. and, you know, we get cussed at and yelled at and obscene gestures and we frankly don't have enough security to keep everybody safe. >> don't have enough security to keep everybody safe at the hospital. i mean, this is happening in alaska against this very real back drop of hospitals across alaska implementing crisis standards of care. right? hospitals across the state operating ab

should tell you the anchorage assembly just passed the mask requirement for indoor spaces in anchorageote was 9 to 1. that said, as we got on the air, anchorage republican mayor, who has repeatedly downplayed the virus, he issued a veto against the mask requirement. republicans from the governor's mansion in alaska, to the state legislator have echoed the sentiments. and, we're used to seeing the politics and the fighting over this, but in some ways it's a scary situation. the threats of violence in alaska aren't an isolated or strange thing, this is in some strange phenomenon that's just occurring in alaska. we're seeing elements of this all across the country. americans are threatening the men and women across the country, who are tests with trying to come up with public health strategies to fight this epidemic. but they're also fighting the people, and threatening the people, and assaulting the people who are literally providing health care. joining us now, is emily could uche, she is a reported at the anchorage news in a law in alaska. -- thank you so much for joining us, i appreci

>> allison barber in anchorage, thank you. joining me now is dr.a national university. great to see you. i want your take first on what we're seeing right now in alaska? >> well, that's absolutely heartbreaking. it's something that did not need to happen if the political movement in alaska had permitted more levels of vaccination and also the use of appropriate, non-pharmaceutical tools. and the adoption of the monoclonal antibody, just in time use as had been done in some of our states. >> why would that be different? what would that be different? >> that -- because we've known now for over a year that these non-pharmaceutical interventions reduce transmission dramatically. and add to that the use of the vaccine, then that's your first, most important preventative measure. ventilation is equally, almost equally important. make sure that you have really adequate ventilation, especially when you're indoors. make sure there's good air exchange, using the masks, hygiene, all of that works in reducing transmission, which is crucial. in addition to that

let's bring in nbc news correspondent ellison barber who is in anchorage, alaska. so ellison, you have been getting firsthand accounts of some of the harassment that anchorage health care workers have experienced. and they've been experiencing this for months, they say. what more are you hearing? >> reporter: yeah, i mean, we spoke to health care workers here in anchorage who say that they are being berated, physically attacked, just for doing their jobs. and they say it's not necessarily a new thing, though recent events in the anchorage area have really shined a light on some of this harassment. they say this has been building for quite a while now and they say a lot of the harassment and hostility they're seeing stems from misinformation, disinformation, and politics. listen. >> i got assaulted when i swabbed somebody for covid who was literally on the verge of dying from covid. she didn't believe she had it. and she struck me and another nurse after we swabbed her. >> sometimes when i go to work, i feel okay when i go home. other times i can't stop thinking abo

alison there in anchorage. doctor, it seems like not long ago folks were taking to their balconies and banging on pots and pans to celebrate the doctors and nurses. now you have folks in the hospital rooms attacking nurses. >> yeah. it's not just the intensity of this antagonizing. we're in the 19th month and we're exhausting. studies have shown high levels of post-traumatic stress disorder, depression. impact on health care workers and the question of what happens to our health care worker force coming out of the pandemic, even if we're turning a corner is a big one. and part of what's happened is because in this very politicized world of the pandemic, health care workers have been discredited. right? all the conspiracy theories, part of this is like health care workers are making money off of this. they're not. public health folks have been working for very little for very long hours throughout the pandemic. again, same thing. the demonizing of the public health officials in the state and local level. i think

nbc's allison barber has more from anchorage good morning >> here in alaska, many hospitals have been operating on what has been described to us as a battlefield scenario the highest levels of meetings emergency rooms, icus, they are overwhelmed. some hospitals are having to ration oxygen. across the country, covid cases and hospitalizations are dropping but in alaska, a very different stor geography was an advantage sparsely pop late villages and strict travel kept cases relatively low now it's surging alaska's biggest hospitals are overwhelmed and the state's unique gentleman okayography is working against it >> we travel on average 150 miles one way to access care our hospitals are hundreds of miles apart. to give them supplies, resources, everything from oxygen was a huge statistical barrier rompblts over the last two weeks, lavenlg has seen the highest rise in the company. deaths spiked 414% >> almost exclusively the patients are unvaccinated trot state's drives standard of care has been action vatd, including the alaska medical center. some patients have been forced to wait days

correspondent allison barber is in anchorage, alaska for us. >> reporter: we've heard other states talk the idea of implementing standards of care, but alaska's covid-19 is a state actually doing it. in the massive expanse that is alaska, some of the state's biggest hospitals are reaching a breaking point. emergency rooms are overwhelmed, oxygen is being rationed, and the governor is asking for hundreds of medical workers to fly here and help. atlas -- atlas las native medical center, some have to wait for days for a hospital bed. >> we've run into situations where there aren't any beds if anchorage. >> reporter: at this hospital they can't let anyone inside except for very few exceptions. they're going to take us in through this video system, the same system that families use when they're talking to covid patients who they are unable to visit. as we virtually walked around the covid unit, we spoke to those on the front line, health care workers spending nearly every minute of their shifts caring for covid patients. 90% of those patients unvaccinated. >> i have seen more body bags than

you need to check to see if the general area is safe of all hazards when you are approaching your anchorage spot. mac steve brown is a professor of marine transportation at csu maritime academy. he says ship captains have to carefully monitor charts for the waters where they need to drop anchor. >> obviously, there are pipelines. there are also phone cables, internet cables, electrical power cables. >> reporter: investigators must now look into whether the pipeline was in fact moved and damaged by a ship anchor, or something else. >>> the massive ships have devices to track their movement. investigators may be able to track and see if a ship was in the area before or during the leak. >>> a 3-year-old boy sitting in the backseat of a car was struck by gunfire in a freeway shooting. according to the east bay times, it happened monday night in oakland. a child traveling with his father on eastbound 580 near the fontaine avenue crossing, that is when someone in another vehicle opened fire, striking the car several times. the boy was hit in the foot. he is in stable condition at the hospital. th

i was surprised to learn the anchorage directly adjacent to the pipeline in the california oil spill had a categorical exclusion under the national environmental protection act which meant it didn't go through full environmental review. we're parking lots of ships. do we know where we're parking them? are we parking them too close to these pipe lines? i would hope that you would -- i am not trying to catch you off guard today. i know you have new, informal drift zones to help accommodate more vessels and i know you are looking at the impacts of this in our state. we have anchorages throughout puget sound, holmes harbor being used for the first time in a decade causing air pollution and noise pollution to communities. and so i just want to know what you are doing to help manage the situation and protect wildlife in these areas. >> yes, madame chair. you are absolutely correct. there are challenges with the volume and backlogs and some of that is obviously not in the coast guard -- but managing the risks with shipping is squarely in our wheel house. we are looking at obviously the case

>> we really rely on the three largest hospitals in anchorage to take care of the sickest people, so evaluated on a day-to-day, hour-by-hour basis, what procedures they can do and have to stop doing anything that isn't very urgent. in rural areas, they have less capacity, but may not be quite as full. so it really is a hospital-by-hospital, day-by-day decision as to what they can do. some things people call elective really are urgent, and some of these things may be treatment surgery, diagnostic care for cancer, cardiac care, things that maybe you could put them off for a few days but are very urgent needs and that puts hospitals in a really difficult place. >> reporter: one of the things that we have been hearing a lot down here is that medical staff, doctors and nurses are having -- they're burned out, they're stressed out, they're overworked, and they're also having very difficult interactio with patients who are also similarly stressed out. are you guys seeing the same kind of thing there, too? >> we are. one of the worst things that's happening right now is the hostility towards

we have anchorages through puget sound and those harbors were the first time in a decade causing noise pollution and air pollution to communities. i want to know what you are doing to help manage the situation to help protect these areas. >> there are challenges with the volume inad the backlog and managing the risk that is squarely in the wheelhouse obviously the case in l.a. we are investigating that and the positive factors we made one shipping company part of the investigation in the recent days. so in anchorage working with the state and the localities we partner through and make informed decisions and the anchorage in question created back in 2006 and it was created because the vessels carry 13000 to 18000 with those o containers. >> i don't know if we did the environmental review. >> it is that complexity and a change in landscape so we need to dive in all reports managed to a different degree and then we need a to make sure we have a level of safetyna we think we iare and that we look at the pipelines our proximity. but it is a plausible scenario that we are looking and you hav

anchorage mayor dave bronson truly sorry about on boggs to a city mask mandate. >> we referenced the star of david quite a brit here tonight but there's a formal message that came out within jewish culture about that and the message was never again. that's an ethos and that's what that star really means is we will not forget, this will never happen again, and i think us borrowing that from them is actually a credit to them. >> never again? how about never again referencing the holocaust when talking about mask mandates? the anti-defamation league of the southwest. the center right opposes the mask mandates but released a statement that reads, and i quote, if i offend anyone, i am truly sorry. i understand we should not trivialize what happened to a mask mandate and i want to apologize for any statement that i support or compare what happened to the jewish people in nazi germany. he should apologize because there is no comparison. but apparently this isn't the first equation to the third reich. >> this law should be changing so fast. has nuremberg thought us nothi
