We have five cases on the Big Island here. Population about 200k very spread out and rural here. No worries. We are all on selenium at the house. I have a nebulizer and colloidal silver if needed. We are all spraying nasal and throat with silver daily also.
Hawaii Governor issued mandatory stay at home/work at home orders starting Wed. similar to other states. All public gatherings shut down. Essential services only. Thru April 30.
The ‘Norwegian Jewel’ cruise ship limped into Honolulu several days ago with one of two main engines disabled. They were denied port at several south pacific islands in recent weeks and need serious engine repairs here. Hawaii granted them resupply docking and agreed to offload passengers here for evacuation only. No visible illness onboard. All passengers were screened before being offloaded on buses and taken directly to the airport where charter airlines were arranged to take passengers home. Some were Australian, some American, and maybe a few other areas. So we accomplished a humanitarian evacuation here with little or no risk. There are still 1000 crew members onboard staying with the ship during repairs and back to home port.
With Aloha Stadium shut down until at least April 30, the stadium parking lot is jammed full now with thousands of ‘mothballed’ rental cars in storage since we have no tourists. Strange sight to see on video. Car rental companies are paying the state rental fees for storing the cars.
Hawaiian Airlines is shutting down ALL long-haul overseas flights at the end of this week. InterIsland flights only.
