Stupidity

Governor of Hawai’i

The governor of the State of Hawai’i emphasized that all seven cases of the novel coronavirus in Hawaii are travel-related, with those infected having come into prolonged contact with an infected person outside of the state. Another laborious “presser” that once again taxes credulity.

No one seems to understand that Hawai’i consists of a group of islands in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. The only way that a pathogen can be transmitted to the islands is by overseas travelers. The novel coronavirus is not indigenous to Hawai’i.

“We don’t — at least at this point in time — have evidence of community spread, but we know that it will occur,” the governor said. “What can we do to mitigate that? … Social distancing is our effort to flatten the curve.” As a fellow engineer, there has been much disappointment in the governor’s performance. He should, as an engineer, know better. Chinese president, Xi Jinping, has an engineering background, and he sought solutions to quickly mitigate the pandemic. The only conclusion is that the governor is a mere puppet to “Big Money.”

“Social distancing” is a ridiculous suggestion short of going into complete seclusion. All of the islands are small with only a fraction of the land being habitable. Thus, population centers are very crowded and close proximity is a given. Heck, neighboring homes in some subdivisions have about 20 feet of space between them. And, ubiquitous multigenerational homes can house more than 20 people.

So far, there has been no further information about the passengers and crew members of the Grand Princess cruise ship. How many people ended up testing positive for the novel coronavirus? Currently, there is another cruise ship docked in Honolulu, no doubt with its thousands of passengers and crew members traipsing around the island.

To be fair, the governor of Hawai’i isn’t alone. There is no coordinated effort in the entirety of empire. The only conclusion that can be drawn is that the moneychangers and powers-that-be have embraced the pandemic in order to implement a sadistic version of “herd immunity” (i.e., cull the masses by “natural” selection).

Personal planning remains on the agenda (refer to Notes post, “Preparations”). At this point in time, there is no escape. All faraway destinations appear be in various states of upheaval. And, transportation is risky. There may be only one location to relocate to in Hawai’i, and that’s Hilo on the Big Island.
