Loading ...Hawaii has ramped up testing to 5,000 per day… for anyone… for free. Results in 3 days. Even with ‘appointment’ time slots at remote testing sites, there have been miles-long lines of cars waiting some 2 hours to get their tests, despite ‘appointments’.
The problem now is a shortage of critical care nurses on the islands. Honolulu is now requesting FEMA assistance to bring in nurses on an emergency basis from the mainland. Surprisingly, we still have available beds and ventilators.
The news I glean from TV is that persons who test positive are told to self-isolate at home and given instructions, but I have heard nothing about early treatment being given or even ‘advised’ for positive cases. I get they idea they are told to stay at home and tough-it-out, hoping to get better. Once they are serious enough to have trouble breathing and have to call an ambulance then they are taken to a hospital. So the best advice is to learn how to take care of yourself if you suspect an infection.
Yeah, I’m fully stocked with four nebulizers and appropriate dilutions of glutathione (lung antioxidand), peroxide (antiviral), and silver sol. Also zinc 50mg, Quercetin (ionophore like HCQ), selenium 20 microgram, and lots of Vitamin C. Also just got some quinine extract… cinchona bark.
The social effects are even more worrying than the virus. The Big Island director of Civil Defense here is publicly chastising the population for ‘rebellious behavior’ of not wearing masks and large public gatherings where some openly flaunt their rebellion against ‘authority’. They don’t take it seriously…. until they and their families all get sick. Serves them right…. Darwin at work. Even here on the Big Island we now have over 120 active cases being monitored, and that number is growing daily.
