Confusion

Gyms have been closed for 20 weeks in total for the 2020 year as of this day. What’s interesting is that, during the brief period that the gyms were allowed to reopen, the crowd density was far, far less than what can be observed at, say, Ala Moana Center right now.

On Monday, the governor of Hawai’i offered the option to opt-out of the “super-duper corona” pre-testing farce (for overseas arrivals) to all mayors of island counties. So far, the mayor of Hawai’i (Big) Island county has taken up the offer. Inter-island flights are still subject to the mandatory 14-day quarantine, by the way. Inconsistencies in policy, along with confusion, are imminent.

The daily “super-duper corona” infection tally has recently dropped below 100 for four consecutive days. That, in spite of the fact that people are out in force just like the first attempt at reopening. Allegedly, the number of available (read: uncommitted) test kits in Hawai’i has dropped to 7,000 or less. So, testing has been limited. Or, perhaps the real intent is to stage a “safe” environment to welcome tourists.

Addendum: The current heatwave has been continuous since Spring, creating a drought. Now, the Board of Water Supply has requested that residents begin conserving water, the first time in decades. As the situation worsens, who will be asked to ration water? Tourists or residents?

Notes on PCR Tests: The “mainstream” media is finally reporting the unreliability of “super-duper corona” test kits, albeit in a roundabout manner. The problem lies not only with the arbitrary “standard” for (lab processing) sensitivity but also involves the unsuitability of the test itself in this particular application. The plan-demic has been based on entirely on majority false positives.
