The Q&A session covered a lot of ground including DoH checking with neighbors within 200 yds of a known case (as seen in HPP?), what is being sprayed (Aqua-Reslin - 20% Permethrin), protecting school kids (Hilo & Kona side schools being sprayed on weekends), old tires now accepted at all transfer stations (free!), DIY yeast&sugar traps (give it a try, but don`t expect much), papaya leaf smoothies (can`t recommend - unknown effects), and other useful tidbits.
