Homey

In a surprise move, the governor of Hawai’i announced the next phase of easing “lockdown” restrictions. A few days earlier, the governor hinted at allowing “low contact” businesses to reopen. Now, he’s going “whole hog.”

The following sectors are allowed to reopen on Thursday:

• shopping malls and retailers
• non-food agricultural companies
• astronomical observatories
• pet grooming services
• health care and social assistance, including elective surgery
• nonprofits previously not considered “essential”
• wholesalers.

What the fuck? Did he say, “shopping malls and retailers”? Yeah, he did, although food court dining areas and restaurant dining will remain closed. Face masks and “social distancing” will continue. But, the “lockdown” is still in effect until May 31st. Say what? The governor also stated that such a bold move was possible because “we were successful at flattening the curve.” What curve? The maximum number of new daily confirmed cases averaged 25 during the peak.

Even the management of the various shopping mall were caught off-guard. None of them are ready to reopen so soon. That begs the question ... what exactly happened? Just a few days ago, the governor said that the “new normal” would be a very slow process, maybe taking many months. What about “super-duper corona”? Isn’t it coming back in waves?

Homey da Clown

Obviously, the governor’s handlers (read: “Big Money”) have put on the pressure to speed up the process. The mental midgets may be duped by the “clown show” (with the governor starring as “Homey”), but the whole hoax has been laid bare for all to see. Just follow the money.

Update: There apparently was a communications mishap, so the revised date for the businesses listed is May 15th. Mishap? The governor’s handlers are obviously in a panicked state of confusion.
