Calling Hawaii County to Shelter in Place NOW Date MAR 2 0 2020
To: Council Testimony
Aloha,
I am asking that the county of Hawai'i implements a two week minimum
shelter-in-place mandate as of 12:01 AM Saturday, March 21, 2020 to
prevent the spread of COVID19 on the Big Island.
I believe any arrivals to our island should be quarantined for 2 weeks upon
arrival. We do not have the intensive care units or ventilators needed to
sustain the most vulnerable in our community once this virus begins
spreading. Our medical professionals should not be put in the position to
decide who deserves to live and who deserves to die.
Shutting down the county and shutting-in for a two week short season will
ultimately strengthen our community, our island, our county. Please give
against this virus bymandatingshelter-in-place now.
Big Island a chance
-Schools have shut down!
-Churches have shut down!
-Businesses are shutting down voluntarily little by little!
-There are still a select few non-essential business that will remain open
until it is mandated to close!
Mahalo!
