LIHU‘E — Friday, the Hawai‘i State Department of Health Kaua‘i District Health Office reported six new cases of COVID-19, including three adults and three children, all residents.
“The source of infection for four of the cases is mainland travel,” Kaua‘i Emergency Management Administrator Elton Ushio reported Friday. “The source of infection for the other two cases is considered community-acquired. Neither of these community-acquired infections are close contacts of previously announced cases. They have no known source of infection.”
These six cases join a spike in cases this last week, which includes 57 active cases on the island.
“It’s a good sign that our cases over the last few days have mostly been in people under quarantine as close contacts to earlier cases, or related to travel,” Kaua‘i District Health Public Health Preparedness Planner Lauren Guest said. “However, we continue to see community spread of disease amongst unvaccinated residents island-wide.”
But many of the new cases have been in children, KDH Officier Dr. Janet Berreman said in a release, which may lead to them missing school with the new academic year starting early next month.
“Children too young to be vaccinated can be infected by unvaccinated family members,” Berreman said. “Students are excited about returning to in-person learning, seeing their friends and teachers, participating in extra-curricular activities. Being vaccinated before school starts will make all of this safer for everyone. Vaccinated students are much less likely to get sick, and if they are identified as close contacts of a case they don’t need to quarantine.”
The island has seen four clusters in places of worship, three in restaurants or bars, three at work locations and two in shelters.
As of a July 8 report by the Department of Health, in the last 14 days, only two of these have been active — a shelter and place of worship.
The office did not release the locations or names of these active clusters.
“People often ask why doesn’t the Department of Health reveal the exact location of a cluster? To protect medical privacy,” Guest said.
Combined, these clusters have accounted for 13 primary or secondary cases. According to a DOH report released July 16, as of June 15, there have been five cases of the more highly transmittable delta variant.
Did the virus come from a lab? As some say it did. It was a virus from a bat. And it transferred to humans. But some say that it could have been duplicated in a lab, and then spread. How might this first COVID-19 spread? From lab to infected human.
Will the high schools be opened? And will high school return to Friday night football with fans of 1000 people at Hanapepe field? We are still in the pandemic. Fall 2021 cioming.
What is the ruling on DOH and DOE on the playing of high school football this fall?
Going for it or skeptical?
The way to protect those to young to get vaccinated is get vaccinated ourselfs
“Neither of these community-acquired infections are close contacts of previously announced cases. They have no known source of infection.”
Say it like it is, these cases were obviously caused by coming into contact with travelers, either local travelers or visitors.
“The source of infection for four of the cases is mainland travel”
How many times do we need to read this amazing insight that the new cases to an isolated island come from off-island before our paid Officials put in place a testing / quarantine protocol that protects Kauai Residents?!? This isn’t hard, but it does take courage
New cases everyday, and due to the Health of the individuals none were hospitalized. Thatʻs good news.
And the ones hospitalized all over the nation, the world even, they are almost always older amd have been under medical care taking numerous toxic, even lethal, medications and prescription drugs for decades. These people are day by day building up to, accumulating really, the factors of death, amd then a flu virus comes along to finish the job.
Yes, those people who are obese, overweight, with diabetes, heart, stroke, high blood pressure, cancers, etc., let this be a warning you are susceptible to death by a virus that is a mere flu to healthier people.
That which brings a person to the final moment, even a sudden massive cardiac arrest, it usually takes about 5 decades, 50 years of diet and lifestyle abuse to have your heart blow out.
Then for those who believe in the Disease Theory, it’s WHAMO ! A heart attack or stroke. But the real “follow the sequences” to death starts with very early accumulation of diet and lifestyle abuse, starting as early as the day of ones birth, when for whatever reason, there is no breastfeeding, and sugar and chemical phony milk formula begins, as does the slow accummulation of sequences to an early end of life contributed to by many factors besides diet and lifestyle, being mental and/or physical trauma, and ingestion of alcohol, all smoking, and drugs, and other forms of personal abuse.
Sometimes and too often, the worst drugs, taken in too many varieties and daily dosages, are prescription drugs and other medications.
These drugs acummulate over many decades, and accelerate the shortened time to an early death. See thenTV ads for warnimgs.
Considering the 4 Billion drug presciptions sold each year amounting to much of the $4 Trillion income in medical disease care, is it any wonder that this much drug abuse and burden on peoples immune systems leads to death when someone has the flu vurus or one of its natural mutated variants.
Virus naturally mutate into variants have been occurring for at least 550 Million years, when immune systems in vertebrates have been found as far back in time as that.
Hiwever Un-burdened immune systems have been defending all vertebrates since ech vertebrate specie evolved to take their place on earth.
All birds, fish, animals big and small, like giraffes and geckos, are vertebrates, and do are we the humans, all with same or similar immune systems as ours.
Whether a virus is laboratory satanically mutated to increase its disease capability or is 100% natural, an un-burdened immune system recognizes it as an Antigen, meaning, with a healthy immune system, the immune process eliminates the virus whether it is a natural virus, laboratory mutated, or a natural variant.
As humans with healthy functioning immune systems we can handle infectious virus in our bodies, since the human species began.
Immune systems that are daily re-burdened with in-humane diets of junk, fast, sugar saturated, chemically loaded processed foods; along with a lifestyle deficient in Sun, Water, Air, Rest, and Exercise, as well as being self dosed or injected with prescription drugs, other medications, synthetic carcinogenic petrochemical vitamins and other supplements; and you have been abusing yourself for decades with these life shortening mistakes, then you better believe you better stay inside, isolated, 6ʻ distanced, and wearing a mask at all times, even though only the N-95 mask works, and virus infect you through the eyes, and the cheap masks and cloth masks only serve to reduce oxygen intake causing degeneration to your organs, and the regular masks prevent escape of toxic carbon dioxide (CO2) needing excretion from your body each breath you exhale. Diminished Oxygen in children retards mental development. That’s horrible and preventable. Hopefully your doctor does not recommend masks for children.
If you are a victim of the above, even vaccines wonʻt help, mainly because they absolutely do not do anything but enhance vaccine Vaccidents, and the sales of them with our tax dollars.
Vaccines do not allow or cause natural immune system specific Antibodies to be made to match virus, like a lock and key, and eliminate them.
Vaccines are just another burden on the immune system. Some are reasonably suspect of early onset of heart disease, brain blood clots, and even death; while for some those and other side effects may take a few years to surface. Good luck to those who jumped in where wise men and women feared to tread.
Immune systems unburdened are naturally endowed with all it takes to eliminate virus and their variants.
Vaccines are toys of pseudo scientists, and $ Billions in income for the Pharmaceutical companies,
Why Johnson and Johnson are being sued for withholding the truth that some of their other products caused several cancer in women.
The bottom line here is all these positive cases will eliminate the virus in their body over a few weeks time, thus they will be non-contagious; and their leftover antibodies will provide immunity against the vurus, and from those 2 benefits they will be a part of Herd Immunity.
We need thousands of more new positive cases to share Herd Immunity among the population. Healthy people should be allowed to become positive, isolate the sick people on numerous prescription drugs.
Bad diet, low nutrition, negative life style, and long term disease care makes peoole defenseless against infectious disease bacteria and virus.
The blame of death with Covid and Variants, must be shared by many, and many things.
If you fit the diet, lifestyle, and disease care scenario, you better change your life abd get healthy, because after over 500 million years of virus on earth, virus and their totally natural variants arenʻt going away, ever…!
And if China mutated the virus as chemical, non combatant, warfare, well, weʻre sure the new President will give them money so they wonʻt do it again.
Ashame your lengthy ignorant comment has taken up so much space especially penned by such a great iconic writer. What a bunch of horse pucky!
“Vaccinated students are much less likely to get sick, and if they are identified as close contacts of a case they don’t need to quarantine.” What part of the fact that vaccinated people can still contract and transmit the COVID virus do our supposed health officials not understand? The fact that the mRNA “vaccine” may lessen the symptoms indicates that the person transmitting the virus may be unaware it. If they are not quarantined or tested, they become a “Trojan horse” spreading the virus unwittingly. Hence the “unknown source of infection” becomes more prevalent.
On the other hand, since the possibility of them becoming seriously ill statistically is 0.0%, why should they be vaccinated at all. They actually run a greater risk of injury from taking the vaccine. This is their one chance to gain natural immunity.
Children can also be infected by those who have received the covid shot. Many of us who have gotten the shot think we are impenetrable, don’t wear masks, travel, gather, etc.
Just get vaccinated.
The delta variant then is a significant by product of COVID-19, already mutated several million times into its disastrous militant. Whereby a vaccine to suppress the disease would not necessarily stop the process but instead slow it down. Hoping a person has enough antibodies to counteract the years of disorder in a biological system.
Is this the correct analysis? Somewhat?
Back to my story. I just got off work. I work as a restaurant cook/chef from Waikiki. Cheesecake Factory. I had to find a job soon. This is it.
Anyway. The lab theory works fine. But how can a bat continue in its process be part of the variant strain in COVID-19? And still yet transfer it to others.
I make enough. And will this be anything to further studies on the virus ? Vaccines.
It’s cool in Waikiki. Thank you!
Ha…
I had to work today too. I got a job as a chef in Cheesecake Factory. I’m actually an out of work engineer. I need to work because I don’t want to use $80,000 of my severance pay.
How does this work? Another person catching a bat disease. It is from humans.
