HONOLULU — A coronavirus outbreak in Hawaii tied to a church in Maui has resulted in at least 55 positive cases, according to the state Department of Health.
State health officials asked anyone who attended events at King’s Cathedral in Kahului to get tested for the coronavirus, Hawaii News Now reported Wednesday.
Officials also asked the church to cancel all its upcoming in-person events until the outbreak is over, but said the church has so far been unwilling to comply.
A message left Thursday with the church seeking comment was not immediately returned.
The first virus cases associated with the church began on March 7, the outbreak has affected people from ages 10 to 77 and the cluster has nearly doubled over the last week and a half or so.
The virus also spread from the church to a school and a workplace and officials are concerned that spillover cases might threaten the general population.
Common symptoms of COVID-19 include fever, cough, breathing trouble, sore throat, muscle pain and loss of taste or smell. Most people develop only mild symptoms.
But some people, usually those with other medical complications, develop more severe symptoms, including pneumonia. Sometimes people with a coronavirus infection display no symptoms.
People will continue to get the virus. The question is, and why it isn’t being reported by the media is because it isn’t sensational enough, is how severe are the symptoms. If they are mild, is it really an issue? Let’s stop the government overreaching control and let people make their own informed decisions. Challenge there is that the media has to be scientifically factual and they’ve shown to be neither scientific or factual.
The Covid “fear mongering” has gone on long enough! The only winners in all of this nonsense are the fake news media, the business side that now controls our Health Care world, and liberal politicians who have used the hoax to usurp more Government Control over your Socialism lives. Your Government can now control where you shop, how you shop, mandate what you wear on your face, how far you’re allowed to stand from another person, what direction you must walk up the isle of food stores, where you can travel, how you can travel, and when you can travel. We know one thing for sure, the damage to freedom and the bloating of our Society as it careens down the path of a bankruptcy inducing Socialism/Communism take over has moved the Democrats a giant step closer to their power and wealth grabbing dream on a Covid silver platter!
I posted this comment in a previous article concerning this outbreak but I think it needs repeating as it is still relevant. “It would be interesting to know how many, if any, parishioners had been vaccinated prior to their contracting Covid 19? We need statistics on how effective these vaccines are in actually preventing the disease. Outbreaks like these could give us answers.”
545,000 Americans have died from Covid in the past year and you still have clown comments from people acting like it’s no big deal. Frankly it’s appalling that this church is refusing to cooperate. There will almost certainly be at least one death directly caused by their selfishness. Not to mention further spread that might kill others. I thought Jesus taught compassion, not entitlement.
The clown is who puts on the death certificate covid when the reality it was something like cancer other precondition…just like the flu….for since man was created by God. Flu has killed many in one year. I was vary sick before this covid happen and I did my research and it was easy to find out how many died from the common flu and the cdc posted 100k to 200k yearly but now they change information like they change dirty diapers.
