"Empty Shelves Hit Hawaii"
Even if COVID-19 doesn’t become pandemic, we’ll always have the mass islandwide toilet paper pandemic of 2020. Remember, you can’t spell pandemic without panic.

State health officials said Hawaii could have the capacity to begin testing as early as next week.
Almost enough weaselwords for bingo.

It's really not that special when it happens about every year or so.
Maybe it's just my tinfoil hat, but I'm not convinced this is merely the usual ineptitude -- there's plenty money to be made if this "pandemic" is well-managed.

Timely: Costco posted a video of people in Hawaii panic-buying toilet paper:

Emergency SB75 was $6M, then $7.2M, now $10.5M.
By some amazing coincidence, rail also went up about 175%.

Reni - I wasn't talking about you obviously, but rather Frank's insistence about Trump's actions (and whatabout the dem's inaction) which he strongly and repeatedly insisted were correct, before having to edit his post. But he's still sticking to his guns - just wait and see.
ETA: The fact that you feel that your several decades here should allow for Frank to post non-Hawaii-related Trump falsehoods without any rebuke raises some odd quandaries. Why would you believe this so strongly that you'd leave Punaweb over it?
Can no one poke fun? No sense of humor about politics? Sorry if you took it personally when you weren't even part of that conversation.
Note this isn't my forum - you're just as welcome as everyone else? Or should us whipper-snappers just sit down and shut up?

I received my first daily COVID-19 update email from the Hawaii Department of Health. It’s impressive, full of up to the minute, useful information. Here’s the webpage for today’s release:

Can't sit on your lawn, can't sit on a mountain road, can't sit on the bar - where can someone take a sit around here?
COVID-19 update email from the Hawaii Department of Health
Yeah, pretty good summary and useful links, although it looks like they didn't mention their involvement with the DOE plans for handling possible and confirmed cases of COVID-19 at local schools (for any whipper snappers with pipsqueaks to think about)

Listened to Dr Seheult message on youtube today. His daily updates are geared to those in medical field. He said the Covid-19 test are only about 70% accurate. He mentions a study done that proves ct scans are more accurate and faster for diagnosis. Which fortunately we have at most our hospitals here. He includes links to the study. It's Medcram update 27 if you want to watch it on YouTube. He is a lung doctor.
