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.
