The Garden Island
And the death rate is .007%….the people who say its for your safty…I have a good feeling they are the ignorant ones who will follow the Evil Ones. They are the oppressor and the ones who bring turmoil.
Yesterday, Lieut. Gov. Green, in a Facebook video post ask people to stay home and stop seen people outside of their households. And yet he’s recommending that we make it easier for people from outside of the state to travel here by changing the timing of the required prior to travel test from 72 hours before testing to 96 hours before testing. The rationale, it’s too hard to get a test. That’s because there is too many sick people getting tested because they have the disease!
The state of California just issued guidance telling the residents not to travel more than 120 miles. Yet we open the island to them to come here. Worried because there are so many sick people around you in LA? Come to Hawaii and forget about it! Really?
Staying home will slow the spread of disease! But letting infected people onto the island without quarantine will increase infections! Lets have a concerted effort to address all of the factors cuasing the surge in infections.
