DOH was not notified until about two weeks after the first known patient was seen by a health care provider, Park said. "We're talking three weeks from the time of infection to when we learn about it,"
Yet -- somehow -- when it happened on Oahu, DOH was notified immediately:
Park compared the Big Island situation to the recent case on Oahu -- a textbook example of how dengue should be handled. In East Oahu, a sick person reported to their doctor, who immediately contacted the DOH, she said.
Implication is that the healthcare providers (themselves suffering from budget shortfalls) are to blame. Maybe they should have more funding? (Ha, ha.)
