I laughed.  Okay, I'm a bit slow in reading it but it's funny. 

I just sold my Alexa because Google totally up my lower track and I'm trying reduce the data oceans that are taking up all the cheap sources of silica the planet has.

Flight from Honolulu to Seattle May 1st.

No Zombies spotted but I think I'm taking a large braid of garlic next trip.

The big island of Hawaii is down to 11 active cases and the person that went to the hospital escaped the next day.

Have you sniffed around for fuel?  Does the dipstick smell like diesel?  Isn't there a dye you can put in the oil as a one time test?  Too simplistic?

We're going big city.  We have finally gotten someone into the hospital with C-19.  I knew we could do it.  I did go to lunch yesterday.  We were masked and not as at ease as normal.  This is going to be a long march.

Hungry kids and infirm old people.  The first victims of rough times.  I'm not so down on the rich.  These moments are one of the reasons folks work towards wealth.  It's the high numbers of people that don't even start to get to a position of "comfort" that concern me.  Let's listen to some new approaches to wealth distribution that don't divide us into a few super winners and masses of heart breaking losers.

I would urge you to be careful working with synthetic drugs (most prescription drugs are synthetic) as they are usually extremely strong when compared to what humans have consumed up until the last 75 years.  Just be a bit careful.

My personal physician (I belong to a huge HMO so please read the delusion of "personal physician" with the tablespoon of salt it deserves) tried to start me on statins (SP?).  I regularly test in 160s for total cholesterol so I was curious about the advice.  "On average, statins will give you three more years of life."  As we talked I learned that was "on average".  The discussion became almost heated as I explained that I was not average and suggested she might review what "averages" really meant.  I'm not on statins and she got promoted.  Life is interesting.  I didn't inquire about the medical ethics of prescribing drugs for situations that were not investigated during the tests for licensing.

Hey!  We're up to near 30 active cases on the big island with a total of around 60 confirmed but many have moved on through the 14 day isolation program.  Did I mention the McDonalds that had 18 cases and public health didn't disclose it for three days.  It's a block from a retirement center and coffee at Mickey Ds was an afternoon ritual.  The third world is alive and well.

So any lasting changes spotted or conjured as of yet?  I'm surprised, until I think about it, that domestic violence is up.  Any good news or thoughts?

Gosh Darn it.  Some of you have forgotten that getting serious on the web is just silly.  Let's share.  Let's play nice.

is double negative.  The Donald would be proud of you.  (And technically not possible.)  The absence of evidence is the absence of evidence and proves only that there is an absence of evidence.  See how logical double negatives are?

The big island number slowly climb but we're still under 10 active cases with no deaths or hospitalizations.

Here's a copy of the 4-7-20 Health Department Notice:

"This is a Civil Defense message.

This is a Coronavirus informational update for Tuesday morning, April 7th.

On the COVID-19 status, the total number of people tested positive for Hawaii Island is 26.  From this, 21 have recovered and cleared by the Department of Health.  The 5 who remains active are quarantined at home and monitored by the Department of Health.  At this date for Hawaii no one had to be hospitalized because of infection by the virus.

You are asked to do your share to prevent of the COVID-19 virus.  Heed the policies of ‘Stay at Home’, social distancing, gatherings and cleanliness.  And for now just say ‘hi’.  To all, practice everyday measures of prevention and keep yourself physically and emotionally healthy.  Do stay connected with your Kupunas, especially at these difficult times.

Thank you very much for listening and look for the full moon tonight, the biggest and brightest of the year.   

This is your Hawaii County Civil Defense."

I just might see Costco Thursday morning.

Yes mikenash.  Yes.  And enjoying it.  I find this site and many of the threads to be a nice start to the morning.  And the snowman18 is right up there as far as the enlightenment factor goes.  I may not agree with many of his reveals but I appreciate his faith in his own views. 

Rant on, brothers.

Hey glort,

Those numbers are very close to mine.  The page you showed doesn't subtract the out of isolation or "cured" people - about 18 which leaves about 5 active cases on the big island.  No deaths or hospitalization in Hawaii County - each island is a county.  And always throw in the third world math factor.

Oahu is a completely different animal with almost a million people there to our 186,000 and then you throw in their 186 sq miles to our 4,000.  Really different place.

Snowman18,

Do you actually believe all that stuff or are you just teasing us with the stuff Fox News thought was a bit too out there?

What Fox news misses our girl Sarah will reveal to us no matter the personal cost (million or multi-million dollar book deals not included).

I once had six beers in the morning and felt much better the next day.  I'm cured.  I'm cured.  I'm cured!  Double blind randomized tests are for whips and little people that lack faith in their ideas. 

We're down to five active cases on the Big Island.  No one has gone to the hospital yet for Covid 19 but there have been three deaths on the other islands.

Boris, it would seem, isn't doing so well.  I hope your medical team gets it turned around. 

You know; I'm not going to Costco today or tomorrow.  Even isolated here on an island it's still pretty scary.  And poor Prince Charles.  Yikes, he's 4 years younger than I am.

Oh Yeah!  Just because you showed me yours I'm showing you mine.

Now are you actually going to take the word of thousands, maybe millions of people on Publicly circulated often blood thirsty competitive media all over the world or a half dozen "citizen" reporters on YouTube?

I wonder where they got their video?  (Is that Sarah Palin without makeup.)

I don't think the flat earthers will make much headway as a result of this temporary inconvenience but there will be changes for sure.  The British courts were loading the New World with indentured servants right up to the US revolutionary war.  The plague has over a 50% death rate when untreated.  That's at least 50 times greater than this scary inconvenience we're going through now. 

Is Australia better off or not now that the government doesn't require 50% of replacement parts on autos be manufactured in Australia?  I think we'll see some seeds similar to this happen in countries that actually hear the wake up call.

Have you noticed the air quality pictures.  At least we know have good evidence that bad air is our work and not a natural cycle caused by a wobbly planet or star.  Don't we?

Wow snowman18.  I didn't realize what an old stick in the mud conservative I am until I read your eye popping post.  Thanks.  I'll be sending them to a couple of friends that call me libratardacaded.

Nope; Not me.

My guess would be to reduce chips of paint being knocked off and to add a bit of snap to the appearance. 

What was the factory solution?

Who will win the hearts of these new countries as they come out of this pandemic?  The sellers of "cool", "fast", "easy", "sexy" and WANT or the ideas of "self sufficiency", "local", "repairable" and of course "work"?  Kinda scary.

I think it somewhat depends on how many die.  And how soon the next one hits.  It's like using the same plans to build a replacement house of one that burned or flooded.  Unless you want to experience another chapter of what put your back up against the wall you have to make a few changes.

I still shop a bit at Walmart.  I admire their training program.  Will they start shopping the world?  Will governments start requiring a certain percentage of goods be manufactured in the home country?  Will the wild pony / work horse market economy start getting some stronger bridles?  Let's not shoot the horse because the barn burned down.

Stay tuned boys and girls for next weeks show.  New settings?  New stars? 

I have only been off the farm twice in the last week (further than I can walk) and it looks like I may be in full hermit mode this coming few weeks.  Can you imagine being trapped in an apartment in a 250 apartment complex?  Well, I'm going over to another channel now to see how much of Rome burned last night. 

Aloha,

PS:  The big island still has less than 20 active cases and has yet to have someone put in the hospital for C-19.
