I ended my 14-day quarantine this week and feeling fine! Experienced 4 negative COVID-19 tests, the best of which is Hawaii's own 'Assure-19' by Oceanit that requires spit in a cup with 10-minute results. Its self-administered like pregnancy test. Cost $20. FDA trials end soon.
We have spent $millions on "contact tracing" but what useable data have we harvested to protect our citizens? Messaging only about masks, hand washing and socially distancing needs updating with more details on how to avoid this terrible virus.
I recently submitted a House Rules change to Spkr Saiki to eliminate "gut & replace" as a permissable legislative maneuver EXCEPT in matters of an emergency, eg recently for floods, lava, and now the coronavirus, so bravo Rep. Luke seeking a title for funding coronavirus' defeat.
Mega kudos to Hawaii's Patrick Sullivan and Oceanit Laboratories for developing 'spiti-in-a-cup' COVID-19 rapid test with results in 3-10 minutes! His "Aloha Protocol" could revolutionize world tourism and start Hawaii's first pharmaceutical industry if trials are successful!
In 12 hours Ill introduce an amendment to SB2940 SD2HD2 for companies to purchase naming rights to the new Aloha Stadium soon to be built for $325 million. Please pass this tweet to billionnaires who would like to aid our building the stadium by having their name on it. Mahalo!
244 years ago our rag tag army took on the world's strongest power because of our love of freedom + independence. America is still about these ideals and our system of democracy is self-correcting.Were still the only place in world you can be whoever you want to be.HappyJuly4th!
Kudos to League of Women Voters for challenging "gut & replace."� Hopefully the Supreme Court will rule in favor of transparency and kill the practice.� Continuing it will only lower the publics trust in government and discourage civic participation. Hawaii is better than this.
