COVID-19 concerns Date
To: Council Testimony
Aloha Hawaii Council Members,
I have been extremely alarmed that our island has not closed parks and restricted public areas that
could result in the spreading of this virus. I teach high school science in Kailua-Kona and am isolating
myself due to potential exposure through the 140+students,several of which recently traveled to New
York city. Simply because we have minimal data for our island does not mean that we don't already
have wide-spread community infections of COVID19. By continuing to ignore and not enforce strict
isolation advisories to our community will only expedite the spread and result in the exponential curve
we have seen over and over again. If our island can easily flatten the curve due to few actual cases,than
we need to do this now! Why gamble with our families and community members we all value and love?
The sooner we get this under control,the sooner we can all start to recover with minimal loss, both
physically and economically. We need to close all parks,schools, and public areas,as well as restaurants
and bars. We also need to limit number of people in and our of grocery and other essential stores to
adhere to social distancing protocal.
Please listen to our top medical professionals and the scientific data to stop the spread of this virus!
Sincerely,
Georgia Carroll
