Contact tracing is an essential part of combating the spread of Covid-19. Not only do contact tracers work to discover where a person infected with the coronavirus may have contracted it, they also attempt to inform others about possible infection. But there is a lot more to the complicated work that they do.
In this episode we’ll be hearing from Annie Thomas. She’s been a nurse for about fifteen years, and currently she is the project manager for the UAA Surge Contact Tracing team. She is also the owner of Managing Me Enterprises which does retreats for teens to help them build community cohesion and resilience.
ATMI producer Ryan Danigole spoke with Annie about the ins and outs of contact tracing, the difficulties in obtaining pertinent information, how the coronavirus has affected her family, and much more.
They spoke on November 5th, 2020.

Anchorage Youth Vote is a nonpartisan organization that works to empower youth to vote and be engaged in the democratic process.
In a normal year they would be putting on mock elections, hosting candidate forums for state-wide races, and getting into the community to educate youth about the rights and responsibilities of living in a democratic society.
This year, as we all know, is quite different. There is a presidential election, but when you add on an increasingly divided political climate, ongoing protests over systemic racism and police brutality, and a global pandemic, Youth Vote’s work becomes much more challenging.
In this episode we hear from two of the organization’s members: Tuan Graziano, who has been a member since 2014, and Ava Earl, who’s been with them for about a month now. They spoke with ATMI producers Riley Taylor and Daisy Carter over Zoom on October 18th, 2020.
Hosted by Jeremiah Freeman.
Music by Kendrick Whiteman.
