Second person tests positive - press conference at 5pm
https://www.hawaiinewsnow.com/2020/03/09...se-covid-/
Elderly resident on Oahu, not related to first case. He had recent travel to Washington state. Illness onset was in Washington around Mar 2nd, flew back to Hawaii on Mar 4th, went to local hospital via ambulance on Mar 7, tested positive today. DOH doing contact tracing.
No cases of local community transmission found yet.
Just watched the two news clips of the press conference for the second Hawaiian resperitory case.
Not all that much information was given.
Not all that much is actually being done.
Even if there is not all that much to be done.
Not all that many reassurances taken from it.
That person was sick before they left Wash. on the 2nd.
The person went to a primary care facility on the 4th.
The person was transported to a hospital on the 7th.
That person is described as being "elderly", and "very seriously" ill.
They have been infectious for at least the 5 days of their illness before being hospitalized and quarantined, possibly longer than that, if some of the speculations are correct.
My faith in humanity and human nature gives me very little trust in the effectiveness of self-imposed quarantine.
They say they're looking at those in the row, the two in front, and the two in back of where the sick person was seated.
Foe a normal 6 seats per row aircraft, that is only 30 people they consider potentially could be infected, more if it was a wide body or an even larger "cattle car" type aircraft.
How many have been dispersed to the other islands since?
It could be coming to your town soon.

Was a Democrat until gun control became a knee jerk, then a Republican until the crazies took over, back to being a nonpartisan again.
This time, I can no longer participate in the primary.
