The value of testing… more FACTS from Hawaii

Posted by Maya @ 15:38 on August 31, 2020  

So you think the virus is fake?  You object to calling them ‘CASES’??   When a person receives a positive test, they become a medical CASE file with the health department that contacts and tracks these individuals and advises them on self isolation at home first.

Oahu is presently banging over 300 positive CASES daily.  Of those, 10% will require hospitalization in 7-10 days… that’s 30 people daily requiring hospitalization.  Of those hospitalized, another 10% will die… which is 1% of the total tested positive CASES.

Regardless of how accurate YOU SPECULATE the tests may be, these are the accumulated FACTUAL statistics from the Hawaii dept of health and multiple hospitals in the state.  So it is easy to see the predictive value of the testing to determine the public health care needs of the population.  And Hawaii is now on the edge of a health care crisis about to overwhelm the hospitals.  If people will not isolate themselves and prevent the spread of the respiratory disease that is overwhelming the hospitals, then it is beholden to public authorities to shut down public gatherings, places, and businesses where people are contracting and spreading this disease.   Lockdowns are horrendous, it’s true.  But it is also for the good of the majority… when some will not choose to take care of themselves and those around them.
