Fool’s Paradise 2020


170 .. that’s the day’s latest Project Fear tally of people testing positive for “super-super corona” in Hawai’i. Panic is now at a fever pitch. Comments in the on-line version of the local newspaper are filled with desperate pleas for a full “lockdown.” There were also hysterical bursts of fear about not wanting to die.

Clearly, “community spread” is now spreading. Yet, little is being done to mitigate the problem. And, the government “duffers” have just now realized that they need to hire more people for contact tracing. Will a full “lockdown” be imminent? Hawai’i is truly a “fool’s paradise.”

Miscellany: Dinner was courtesy Panda Express® for the first time since the original “lockdown,” although the location at the Makai Market food court in Ala Moana Center was chosen. The employees, all wearing face shields, were very generous with the entrées. Unfortunately, the meal was too filling, given the reduction in caloric intake for the past five months. There was much gastrointestinal discomfort. Future visits to Panda Express® will be limited.
