Barring unlikely circumstances, Hawai‘i County beaches will reopen islandwide beginning Tuesday.

Mayor Harry Kim will soon be unveiling his Rule Number 5, which will officially reopen the County’s beach parks once approved by the governor. That approval is expected within the next 24 hours.

The mayor’s rule also states permitted activities that may occur at these facilities, which will be in compliance with CDC guidelines that limit congregating groups to 10 people or fewer. Specific guidelines on the number of people allowed to congregate and any other qualifications will be expressly outlined in the mayor’s rule.

“These beach parks are being reopened for your enjoyment and your wellbeing,” Kim said in a press release. “Please keep up the safe practices of social distancing that helped us get to where we are today.”

bigliest, best news of the day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mayor Kim told Big Island Now Monday that several districts on the Big Island have gone three to four weeks since reporting an active case of coronavirus. Two new active cases of COVID-19 reported over the last few days slowed the decision to reopen beaches, which the counties of Honolulu and Maui began allowing Saturday.

Kim said that once he found out those cases were both linked to travel — one person who’d visited Los Angeles for a short time, and another who’d made several stops, including a stop in Los Angeles — he felt comfortable moving forward with the reopening of beaches islandwide.

“We had no active cases here prior to those two,” the mayor said. “You don’t want to take any risks.”

The news comes just hours after Gov. David Ige announced the extension of the state’s mandatory, 14-day travel quarantine, which includes interisland travel, and that “medium risk” businesses such as gyms and indoor dining options at restaurants can begin to reopen in June.

The only exceptions to the reopenings, assuming they are approved by the governor, are Hakalau Beach Park and Kūhiō Kalaniana‘ole Park, which have been closed due to necessary improvement work. The mayor is working with the Department of Parks and Recreation to determine the next phase of county facilities to reopen, such as tennis courts and pickleball courts.

Although the county beach parks will likely reopen, the threat of COVID-19 is still present. The mayor said that all beachgoers must follow the safe practices stated in the CDC guidelines and Hawai‘i County Rules.

“Know the importance of staying mentally, physically and (socially) healthy with these rules,” the Mayor said.

A list of beaches set to reopen and ordered by district is as follows:

My post was for whoever wants to read it, this being a public forum.

The Wisconsin State Supreme Court chief justice did say packinghouse workers, low income, mostly people of color, and heavily immigrant, were not "regular people". Azar did say packinghouse workers who get sick do so because of their unhealthy lifestyle, not unhealthy workplaces. You can verify these quotes.

The so called "protests" began when data showed African-Americans and Hispanics were disproportionately impacted by Corona virus. They are virtually 100% white, with Confederate flags, swastikas, build the wall signs. Include open nazis like Proud Boys and people calling for a new civil war (but one that would keep Trump in office). They carry assault rifles and talk about how horribly persecuted they are because someone told them to wear a mask, worse than Japanese Americans in internment camps, worse than Nazi Germany. They claim they don't need masks or social distancing because people like them don't get sick (not true). It takes a very strong denialism to say that is NOT racist.
 
CDC: Arkansas coronavirus outbreak linked to church services

35 of the 92 people (38%) who attended services at a rural Arkansas church March 6–11 tested positive for the coronavirus, ultimately killing three, according to a case study released Tuesday by the CDC.

Why it matters: Places of worship continue to be a problem for controlling the widespread transmission of the coronavirus, especially as some churches and local government officials push to loosen restrictions on religious gatherings.

  • Contact tracing found that an additional 26 people were infected after interacting with attendees of the church, and one person from that group died.
  • Most of the cases were aged 19 and older.
  • Both the pastor and his wife developed coronavirus symptoms and closed the church indefinitely on March 12.
The big picture: Outside of public service announcements on hygiene and social distancing, the CDC has largely left guidance on whether to reopen places of worship to the states.

  • In Arkansas, the state banned indoor gatherings of more than 10 people, but exempted religious services.
  • Almost 200 people are being quarantined after a possible cluster in California was identified after people attended a church service on Mother's Day, the Los Angeles Times reports.
  • Kentucky and Kansas both had federal court rulings against their governors' orders to temporarily ban mass gatherings at religious services.
The bottom line: Even with care and caution, in-person congregations can become hotbeds for coronavirus outbreaks as some states begin to reopen public spaces and businesses.

Go deeper: Major coronavirus outbreaks around the world have been tied to religion

In a pre-coronavirus world I would have been barreling though Arkansas right this instant. Not that I would have been touring any Bubba churches........as disappointed as I was to cancel a good road trip I can’t help but bring Dorothy to mind....there’s no place like home, there’s no place like home......Only God knows why a church is required to commune with Him.....or why He chose to bring such self centered idiots into the world......It is a genuine paradox.
 
Still pimping HCQ;


Trump just said "People should want to be helping people, not to make political points, it's very sad when they do that."


I shit you not...I can't believe his tongue didn't come off the rollers when he said that.

I think it might be early to start crowing about anything in Georgia yet. The incubation period is 5-14 days and hospitalizations follow 7-12 days after first developing symptoms. Georgia lifted the stay-at-home order 2 weeks ago, and 'new' hospitalizations have nearly doubled in the last 4 days. IIRC, Georgia might also be one of those states that doesn't list covid patients hospitalized in nursing homes

besides that, they just got caught distorting their stats so I'd be skeptical about any numbers the state puts out

Them and Florida have been accused or falsely reporting their numbers and both states are governed by trump suck ups. Why these people continue to follow trumps words are beyond me.

Mom sent me the link...she lives in Fla and was a Trump supporter in 2016 mainly because she couldn't stand Hillary.

Now, when I talk to her on the phone she never fails to mention what a mistake she made in voting for him.

My coworker whose respiratory condition essentially closed down our office before SHSH became the norm was basically told what Maris said: "We're pretty sure you have COVID-19, but we're not going to test you because our treatment for you would be no different either way."
 
3.6% positive results from 980000 test in Oregon
That percentage has been going down for the last month even though many more test have been performed.

Check out the demographic & additions data....we are progressing nicely and yes as we open things up more there will be flair ups possibly, but you will notice its more detrimental to those over 65 with underlying conditions.

We have indeed flatten the curve & increased hospital capacity and reduced deaths.

Georgia health department is accused of 'manipulating' coronavirus data to show a downward trend in cases
  • Georgia's health department released a graph last week that showed infections declining in five of the state's hardest-hit counties from April 26 to May 9
  • Analysts were quick to point out that the dates on the chart were out of order
  • When put in chronological order the data showed that cases counts were holding steady rather than falling
  • The health department fixed the error after coming under fire on social media
  • Officials insisted that portrayal was not intended to be confusing or misleading
  • But critics say it could have been done deliberately to help justify Gov Brian Kemp's decision to reopen the state early while cases were still climbing
