355 new Covid cases in Hawaii 343 are on Oahu and we now have 40 deaths. Our hospitals are pushing their capacity for care of people who need icu and ventilators.

Our Mayor is now in quarantine because one of his staff tested positive. 48 City employees have now tested positive including 2 from my department. I'm glad I'm still able to work from home.

https://www.hawaiinewsnow.com/2020/08/08/employees-assigned-honolulu-hale-annex-test-positive-covid-/ This is not where my Department is housed, but it is the main City Hall for City & County operations.

We're basically in lock down again. About 150-200 new cases every day for the last 2 weeks with 99% of those on Oahu. The 14 day quarantine is back for inter-island travel. Parks and beaches are closing as of 12am tonight/tomorrow morning. School went from hybrid to delayed start of the school...

DOH: 124 new COVID19 cases today out of 2,156 tests. A positive rate of 5.75%. 120 cases are on Oahu . And schools are still opening next week.

Hurricane went north. I didn't need to volunteer or be volun-told to assist at a shelter. COVID cases still in the 50s-60s for the past few days. Just listened to Dr. Elinore McCance-Katz (an infectious disease specialist) of SAMHSA talk about how schools need to reopen and that it's safe to...

Oh and today's count is 60 new cases. A new high! My boss just called to see if I would volunteer to work at one of the two emergency shelters on island. I told her flat out that I have serious doubts about safety in light of COVID, plus I have asthma and it's my kid's birthday on Sunday. If...

Both of my kids are on a hybrid schedule. One goes to the school 2 days per week every other week, with the rest of the time online. The other goes to school for a full week and then a full week online. I am not confident in DOE or the private school's plans.

55 cases today. The biggest spike we've had so far. 50 of them on Oahu. Oh and a hurricane is headed toward us. Being a City & County employee means I might get called up to work at one of the emergency shelters. With people of varying status. And, no, I don't have a choice. :censored:

Woohoo! Hawaii is 1.22 with only 3 weeks until school starts.

RIP Grant.

My dad gets most of his nonsense from his friends.

My mom has been taking it very seriously because of her asthma. My dad takes mask wearing and washing hands seriously because of my mom's health, but thinks it's all exaggerated thanks to the liberals trying to take away all his freedumbs. :rolleyes: In other news - Hawaii is delaying opening...

So all of the Mayors are asking Gov. Ige to reconsider opening the islands for trans-Pacific travelers. https://www.civilbeat.org/2020/07/county-mayors-to-ige-were-not-ready-to-welcome-back-tourists/ Edit: It seems that the Director of the State Dept. of Health is also saying Aug 1 might not be...

I know our numbers are really small compared to the mainland states, but it's still scary since we don't have the capacity in our healthcare system to handle large numbers. Our record now is 41 in a single day with 38 on Oahu alone. That was yesterday...

I watched The God of High School's first episode. I really hope it's this ridiculous for the whole season.

Let me just say Fuck Rachel right in her stupid face with a brick.

In other news: The town where my parents live has apparently seen the highest per capita uptick in cases in NJ. Go Hammonton! Fuck.

A lot can change by then. The state might be shut down again. Who knows. Hopefully they will change their minds about coming here. I just double checked the news. The 14-day quarantine is set to be lifted August 1. I thought it was going to be mid-July. I can keep you up-to-date on it if...

Hawaii is going to start letting visitors in again without the 14-day quarantine as long as they have a negative COVID test before traveling.
