Communication 843-Coronavirus Testimony
To: Council Testimony
Dear Honorable Councilmembers,
Lt. Governor Josh Green MD has created a protocol to mitigate the deadly impacts of coronavirus, based on
the successful models of Taiwan and Singapore.The principles of this protocol are listed below. PLEASE DO
EVERYTHING IN YOUR POWER TO IMPLEMENT THIS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
Lt. Gov. Green says that"This is the only way to prevent our healthcare system from being overrun and to save
lives, especially Kupuna. The opposite approach of inadequate follow up and inadequate testing failed, and
lives were tragically lost."
PLEASE IMPLEMENT THESE MANDATES ASAP:
1.We suspend all non-essential travel to Hawaii through 4/30/20,
2.Anyone who comes to Hawaii gets 2 weeks quarantine,
3.We contact test every positive case and isolate them completely,
4.We continue to study the states that are 2-4 weeks ahead of us to prepare for all of our needs,
5.We stand up extra Hospital capacity(with military support)the second we see it could help.
Bonus: screen at airports, order millions more masks and swabs.
We need you, our council members,to take this seriously, especially since the mayor refuses to. Now is the
chance to make a historic difference.
Sincerely,
Chezlani Casar
Honokaa
