A Different Kind of Soup ‘R Bowl

MAC News Release

If life in this society is so frightening and so threatening that masses of teenagers worldwide are killing themselves, then it’s time to correct the social structure.

Teen suicides have occurred here also even though we here on Molokai have been minimally affected by the mask and isolation edicts. Lock-downs, social distancing, masking, paranoia, travel restrictions and all this government-mandated suppressive behavior is killing people and making folks unhealthy at a far greater rate than Sars Cov-2 ever could.

Look at the figures. According to CDC published figures the total death-rate is 1.7 percent. That means that, of those with recorded infections by COVID, 98.3 percent survive.…

Wednesday, February 24th, 2021

By Keani Rawlins-Fernandez, Maui County Council Vice Chair, Molokai

Getting through 2020 took a united effort, and I am continually impressed by our community’s resilience and ability to support one another, especially in our more isolated communities like Molokai, Lanai and Hana.
