I bet he's a friendly reporter who put this story out to confuse the issue. It may be retracted in a few hours, but in the meantime the internet and some news organizations will report it as truth.
Last night I thought the same. I responded in order to make a few points that would apply in any case. What has the morning brought of news on this report of a statement by the Hawaiian Director of Health?
Health Department spokeswoman Janice Okubo: "They just keep asking over and over and over again!"Well, Janice Okubo, that's perfectly understandable! Why? Because, Okubo, your people have not been forthcoming of the needed facts. Instead you and yours have been misdirecting and giving partial answers, claiming that part which is in reality too small, to be the equal of all answers.
