LIHU‘E —The state Department of Health Kaua‘i District Health Office reported a new positive case of COVID-19 on the island Friday.
LIHU‘E —The state Department of Health Kaua‘i District Health Office reported a new positive case of COVID-19 on the island Friday.
Kaua‘i’s newest case is an adult male from the mainland who tested negative before travel to Kaua‘i, as part of the state’s pre-travel testing program. He developed symptoms while staying on Kaua‘i, was hospitalized, and tested positive.
The close contacts of this case were identified, placed in quarantine, and are being offered testing. As of Friday morning, Kaua‘i has four active cases. All cases are related to mainland travel. A total of 13 close contacts of those cases are now in quarantine.
Kaua‘i’s cumulative case count is 64 plus one probable case.
Post-travel testing is available to both residents and visitors who traveled to Kaua‘i from the mainland and participated in the state’s Safe Travel Program.
Testing is available no sooner than 72 hours after arrival and up to 14 days, but the preferable time is five to seven days after arrival for best results. Many travelers are not on island that long and, in those cases, a test three days after arrival is encouraged.
For more information on the post-travel testing program, visit kauai.gov/COVID-19. For more information on the state’s COVID-19 cases or the state’s Safe Travels program, visit hawaiicovid19.com.
Has contact tracing determined how they contracted covid?
Pre flight, on board aircraft, post arrival.
Critical information to know
THANK YOU Ige and Kawakami for knowingly and purposely turning our little island sanctuary overnight into an infected cesspit just so that your buddies in the tourism industry could make a little extra money.
Re Ige and, I might add, also Lt. Gov Josh Green totally agree with you. Talk about bad timing, too! Cases raging out of control on the mainland and we open our doors and say come on in.
I disagree with you re Kawakami. I think he and Janet Berman are doing a great job. They tried their level best to force through that second test plus interim quarantine and even bought the tests. But Ige turned down Kawakami’s request because it would be “too confusing” for tourists. And Josh Green pointed out that nobody would come to Kaua’i if they had to quarantine for 3 days and then take a second test.
And by the way, what happened to Josh Green? He was one of the original proponents of health safety first and tourism second. He’s really done an about face. He does insist this will only work if everyone wears masks. But guess what? They’re not. I’m reading on the reddit/kauai forum that tourists aren’t wearing masks in the shops in Kilauea even though it’s mandated. And store clerks only put them on when someone comes in.
Maybe Josh Green, having caught the virus and recovered from it fully like 99% of cases, finally realizes that the overreaction to covid is worse than the actual disease. And contrary to what Casey Sutton says, cases are NOT ‘raging’ out of control. People are catching corona, recovering from it, and getting on with their lives. Maybe the Casey Suttons of the island should try the latter and give the rest of us a break from the tedious ranting.

You are correct. Ive been driving around and making a lot of observations and they aren’t good.
Soon as tourists are here and good to go, they are super lax about wearing masks I’ve seen them everywhere shops, restaurants, on the streets, the only place they are wearing masks are in the grocery stores because no one tolerates no mask there.
I knew this was going to happen.
Unreal.
And if ‘you know who’ gets elected things are really gonna get wild.
Fasten your seatbelts folks.
Wear your masks and stay far away from people’s much as possible.
We are hoping this information is helpful for people wondering what is going on regarding the virus and immunity.
1 new POSITIVE case, that’all?
We need a 1,000 positive cases a day on Kaua’i to end this HOAX.
We read or hear of new positive cases every day. There are some few thousand total in Hawaii to date.
But all we here about them is that they are positive. It’s like the next day they simply disappear. Plus there are thousands more we do not here of because they did not even test because they feel so good having only mild to ZERO symptom.
So after the tested ones are announced they seem to disappear the next day. Where did they go?
If they are elderly with chronic long term end of life diseases and taking toxic prescription drugs for decades of years, and all that time under medical care, we usually don’t read about them unless those people are hospitalized, and of the extremely few who die we can’t be sure if they died from the Covid-19 virus or they died from all the diseases and all the deadly drugs they have been taking for 30 years.
It seems like a coverup up of the medical industry’s keeping people on prescription drugs for 1/2 of their medical drug shortened life, with 4.4 Billion prescription drug sales per year in America, instead of getting people well from the disease they have. Prolonging disease for the benefit of prescription drug sales is a disservice to mankind and should not be tolerated where becoming well and health is a better alternative. Actually well and healthy is the only alternative.
If you have multiple diseases and are taking multiple prescription drugs daily, you are at high risk for Covid-19 hospitalization and even death. If you are one of these people you should wear a mask and social distance, as well as stay home.
And the rest of the people out of work should go back to work.
But to know what is happening to all these so far few positive cases, they are out about enjoying life as best as can with so much unemployment error, and after 3-14 days they have developed their own natural inborn immunity to protect themself, and also they are no longer contagious which protects others, however if you are healthy and have a healthy immune system you want to contract the virus, like you did unknowingly all the seasonal flu’s before, you just did not have the symptoms, or you did have the symptoms and if you did not take over the counter or prescription drugs you still developed natural immunity either way.
People who are negative Covid-19 whether they are tested or not, these are the people that when, and if, they contract the virus will be highly contagious for the first 3 to 14 days…and dangerous you might think.
Well not really dangerous, you see on the one hand 98% of the people who contracted Covid-19 already had only mild to ZERO symptoms, that means they would not know they contracted the Covid-19 and just went on about their life.
On the other hand, all the people who have or will contract Covid-19, they, after 3 to 14 days will also develop or will have developed natural immunity by way of their immune system producing bio-identical antibodies to the Covid-19 virus.
The positive Covid-19 cases will during those first 3 to 14 days after contracting the Covid-19 virus will produce so many naturally developed antibodies that after deactivating all the viruses in their body, they will have enormous amounts of leftover antibodies to have what is called IMMUNITY.
Immunity means they not only have enough remaining antibodies to immediately deactivate any new Covid-19 virus entering, infecting, their body, they also will have no active Covid-19 virus to spread to other people, meaning they are no longer contagious.
And in fact after becoming immune these people positive for Covid-19 will have developed Herd Immunity, and when enough positive people with Covid-19 have Herd Immunity, then Covid-19 virus itself will not be able to find a negative Covid-19 person and thus they, the virus, will have no people they can infect and multiply themselves, in that negative person’s body, meaning no more Covid-19 “offspring” virus to infect others.
Do the current Disease care doctors and politicians got it wrong? That’s right, we actually want everyone who is healthy and young or healthy and older to internally, in their own body, to naturally develop immunity to the Covid-19 virus. To do that you need to contract the virus, so all that mask and distancing works against the greater good. Besides it’s not your fault that some people have been irresponsible with their use of food and taking of prescription drugs or other medicines.
And next year you can develop immunity to whichever virus or 2nd wave or 3rd wave, etc., of same virus, in a manner that you do not even have any symptoms. This is what has been happening to the vertebrates on earth for the last 550 million years. (Can you name 20 vertebrates ? have fun!). There are 40,000 vertebrates on earth. Humans are one of the species of vertebrates. All vertebrates have immune systems similar, maybe not identical, immune systems, protecting the inside of their bodies from dangerous things in the outside environment wanting to infect a vertebrate.
What is new and not working is vaccines. Now already people are getting sick and dying from vaccines and/or suffering other side effects here in the closing months of 2020. Vaccines are a manmade laboratory disease to be injected into people so that it bypasses the safety of your immune system at all natural points of entry where the immune system stands guard with all kinds of immune cells ready to deactivate viruses and bacteria that are bad for us, although for virus it takes 3-14 days to complete the immune process and render your body immune to whichever virus, like Covid-19, that is trying to infect you.
And yes protect the high risk older, and high risk younger, people who have multiple diseases and prescription drugs being used to manage those diseases. A good start for helping the at high risk is to bring their diet back to nutritious, and their life style back to active and they will become healthy and at low or lower risk, thank God.
Yes, the tourism industry, aka most people working. Not everyone can afford to make money in the mainland and then come down to Kauai to retire in a million dollar home.
“infected cesspit” (?) “buddies in the tourism industry” -are you referring to over 1/3 of Kauai’s residents? are you hoping for even more unemployment, business failures, and despair?
We are all aware of the impact this has had, and that 1/3 of kauais residents work in tourism.
Its a mute point when we start droppin like flies
Youll see.
and especially now that the virus has ramped up again.
Whackamole anyone?
Rich people are evil. Ans they spread lies and mischief.
Are you racist, too?
Sometimes it’s just gotta be said twice to get the point across. Valerie every positive tested, and even those positive but not tested, cases, undergo the immune process within 3 to 14 days after infection, that is, each person infected by the Covid-19 virus begins to undergo the natural immune response and develops way more than enough antibodies to deactivate all Covid-19 viruses in their body.
This is why the vast majority of people, as much as 98%, have none or only mild symptoms when they become infected. Because their immune system immediately (3 to 14 days to immunity) reacts to the infecting virus and produces huge amounts of antibodies to deactivate all the covid 19 viruses in their body and still has a huge amount left over to deactivate any subsequent infecting same Covid19 virus, as well as deactivating the virus so immediately none of the infecting virus can spread to other people because they are deactivated, that is that person’s immune system does not allow that person to be contagious. And that person now has Herd Immunity.
Since each person’s immune system produces a huge amount of extra antibodies, these extra antibodies become what is called natural immunity.
Immunity provides that person with leftover antibodies after the Covid-19 viruses are all deactivated so that then, in the near or far future, there will be plenty leftover antibodies to attack and deactivate any new Covid-19 viruses that come around in a 2nd wave and tries to infect that person.
Not only does immunity protect that person from future same virus infection, it also prevents that person from being contagious, in other words the positive Covid-19 person with natural immunity cannot spread the Covid19 virus to other people.
Humans are vertebrates. The above sequences of occurrences are how all healthy vertebrates react to invasive viruses, and have done so by older vertebrate species for the last 550 Million years protecting vertebrates’ internal environment from the world’s external environment. Aren’t we lucky to have evolved with such a well developed immune system that the other vertebrates have already had since before humans walked the earth.
So when you say 5 people have showed positive in 5 days, we know that it would be better for our community to have 1,000 people a day become positive in a single day and every day forward until all the healthy people have developed wonderful, almost miraculous is how the human body can function, by performing the immune process.
As you know now immunity means the individual is able to deactivate the virus and as well prevents contagious spread of the Virus to others.
Whoever spread the fear of new positive cases as being bad, or dangerous, is downright ignorant or dishonest spreading fake fear.
However people who have allowed themselves to be under prescription drug treatment disease care, for decades, and if they are elderly they may need to be masked, quarantined, and have their diet converted to one of nutrition and work to be taken off prescription drugs, become well and learn how to maintain their health into their healthy and active 10th and 11th decade of life.
Very few people die from the virus alone, most die from the combination of long term end of life diseases along with their end of life prescription drugs. These people are prematurely reaching their limit of longevity, shortened by allowing themselves to be treated with prescription drugs instead of taught to get well and be healthy without prescription drugs throughout a deserved long life.
Prescription drugs are only for sick people not interested in getting well. Prescription drugs do not make people well nor restore their health. They only manage the effects of disease also called signs and symptoms, while their disease continues and the disease process is internally getting people worse over the decades before they die.
The thought of taking prescription drugs for 30 years or so for high blood pressure is severely bizarre when one could get well and not have high blood pressure at all, and no prescription drugs and live much longer.
Worldwide millions of people are positive for covid19 and are safe with their own natural immunity without taking drugs. And as well are contagiois free from infecting others.
These positive covid-19 people are out and about in society enjoying themselves, they are immune and not contagious and that is how we want all people to be in order for the Herd Immunity to cause the covid19 virus to dwindle away, because the covid19 viruses have no where (in immune people) to go and thus the covid19 virus cannot survive and it dwindles away with nowhere to multiply itself (making baby viruses)without a new negative person to attach to, except they can invade negative tested people.
You see the doctors and politicians got it wrong because they study disease instead of health, both totally different fields.
Negative tested people are ready for exposure and infection by the continuing to spread contagious virus. And since they do not have the natural antibodies yet they are highly contagious during their first 3 to 14 dsys of infection waiting for their immune system to make them immune and positive, and protected within themself and safe from not spreading the virus to others.
Send us the positive cases. They are safe visitors.
We hope you and all your family, friends, and neighbors all become positive and naturally immune, soon.
Vaccines are already showing some people getting sick and some who have died from the new vaccines. Be healthy if you know how, otherwise train with a Health and Lifestyle Coach.
And when it comes to vaccines, know they are manmade laboratory diseases and while you may develop some immunity to the vaccine, you won’t develop immunity to the COVID-19 VIRUS.
Vaccines are not only a waste of time but also an at risk chemical concoction and disease viruses.
By now you are saying that we do not want to wear masks, and we do not want to stand 6’ apart, nor wash frequently with hand sanitizers which serve to challenge virus to mutate faster in their own need to naturally survive by becoming more virulent.
You are right, if you are healthy, and not elderly hanging on with end of life diseases and taking end of life prescription drugs, then if you are healthy let the covid-19 virus come your way and you will develop lifetime immunity, just like Measles, Mumps, and Chicken Pox did for those who got the virus by natural contagion and allowed themselves to develop natural immunity without prescription drugs or vaccines.
This isn’t the first time modern science got it wrong, after all they are just experimenting in laboratories while the vertebrate species are well capable of internally and naturally developing immunity after 550 Million years of practice.
For proof of laboratory experimentation, look only to TV Drug Ads for the prescription drug side effects including death.
And oh sorry what if you got the flu, what’s the matter you never had the flu before. It always gives you immunity from each years different virus. Your immune system always makes bio-identical antibodies to deactivate viruses.
You don’t want to skip a year of immunity, you never know, immunity may require not skipping a year of immunity, thus making our Governor and Mayor’s orders and proclamations unhealthy for us in the long run of our own deserved longevity.
Let each year’s immunity’s build upon last year’s immunity making you a more stronger Host in the defense against viruses.
Yep, being positive about this Covid-19 issue is important.
