Fog of Deceit

The mayor of Honolulu announced that his proposed full-time face mask mandate is being “reconsidered, just a day after requesting approval for the latter from the governor of Hawai’i. Most likely, the governor directed the mayor to “stand down.” The governor has announced that there will be some “rollbacks” coming.

The rationale for the latest histrionics is the revelation that there were 106 cases of “super-duper corona” infections added to the on-going count. On face value, that numbers appears to an appalling surge. However, upon reading the “fine print,” the reason for the alleged surge became evident. Hurricane Douglas had forced the closure of testing labs, so the tests of approximately three days were lumped together and released on Wednesday. The government “duffers,” of course, knew of of that but chose to exploit the situation. This is the basis of the hoax.

Addendum: The number of cases of “super-duper corona” for today adds 124 new infections. Some could be a spillover from the Hurricane Douglas forced closure of testing facilities. Still, the reported infections continue, which indicates “community spread.”
