Hawaii up 2 more… Total now 6

Posted by Maya @ 3:29 on March 15, 2020  

One more case found on Maui, now in isolation.  And one more case confirmed in Honolulu on Oahu island… no details on that one.

Patients #3 & 4 isolated on Kauai were reckless spreaders!  They arrived on Maui (United Airlines) with sniffles and went to urgent care there.  Flu test there was negative so they ignored it.  Days later flew interisland on Hawaiian Air to Kauai and got worse.  Upon going to the Kauai hospital and grilled more thoroughly it was “Oh… by the way… we were notified we were exposed to a case back on the mainland before we left! ”  Damn irresponsible idiot spreaders!!

Another worrisome case is an airforce woman in Colorado.  She spent three weeks on Oahu attending medical seminars (!) and on the flight home to Colorado she started with sniffles.  It got worse as she got home and finally went to the hospital where she tested positive.  So she definitely caught the virus on Oahu-Honolulu… likely attending a crowded military medical seminar here.

So it’s likely we have community spread here.  No cases on the Big Island yet where I am.

One statistic I have read is that an infected community will double cases every 4 days.   So far this is true here with 1 then 2 then 4 and now 6 cases.  Expect more shortly.  Statewide testing capacity expanding on all islands.  Big Island will be the last, planned for Tuesday in Kona and Hilo.

And still the cruise ships come a-docking!!
