Dear voters,
How is my candidacy different and unique? Among other things,
1. I am the only candidate who has been willing to give in the candidacy if I can find better quality candidate.
2. I am the only candidate with specific COVID-19 Two track action plan, to control and/or eradicate in Hawaii; so, among other things, Keikis don’t have to wear mask at school.
Last 2 1/2 years of pandemic has revealed lots of flaws in our society.
Especially, pandemic management by the officials was utter failure; and they basically abandoned us since delta invasion. Sadly, Media have been silent and rather in cahoots especially with Josh Green who had caused mass casualties in delta floodgate.
In my Covid two track plan, although tightening our ports with more screening and tests is necessary at the same time, but to control within Hawaii, we want to test everyone altogether, perhaps two weekend days, Friday afternoon and Sunday morning. If not successful, we do it again the following weekends until we eradicate the virus for no case for about 10-14 days for Omicron.
This can be self reported all voluntarily thru mobile app, self isolated if needed, without requiring any lockdown.
2ndly, for travelers coming to the islands, we test them before boarding, and test again following morning after arrival.
If cannot be done before boarding, we test during flight, but mask mandate during the time and until testing in the following morning.
The protocol may be adjusted and changed accordingly as necessary.
And, these methods would become benchmarking and guidelines for possible future invasion by the other variants and microbes.
3. I am the only candidate with specific Media Reform plans. Among others, Journalists Labor Union and Media Mediation Commission for General public.
My plans totally guarantee Media’s 1st amendment, free speech and press.
(But, they may come in only when they make fake news.)
4. I am the only candidate who promote emotional growth among us; and also we want to implement emotional health curricula at our schools.
Hawaii is sick, and we need treatment. Especially, we need more healing from the pain that we have not been consciously aware.
5. I am the only candidate with much bigger picture with more specific plans, in pursuing self-sustainable economic growth.
We are facing stagflation due to pandemic; and boosting economy while diversifying to self-sustainable levels is necessary.
In that, we need to boost transportation; bringing back ferries, making roads like H4, H5 freeways , and connecting Kaena point.
If need quick revenue growth, we may want to bring Las Vegas casino to the islands, but not in Waikiki.
And, affordable housing may not be possible without sufficient revenues no matter how good plans are.
In order to reduce cost of living, we need to sufficiently grow our own foods, make our own goods, produce more cost-effective alternative energy like nuclear power.
As Jones Act alternative, we also want to build US port like in Jonston Island, so we reduce shipping cost to and from Western Pacific regions.
To control ever increasing house price, for example, we want to implement Aloha Score, in addition to FICO score, so non residents cannot buy Hawaii property only with money.
Plz, refer to my plan, Aloha dept and Aloha Court, as well.
We build our own Hawaii nation within Nation.
So, we become independent and interdependent with federal government.
In conclusion, so far, I haven’t found any candidate, who can do better, and also honor and carry on with my plans.
Plz support me, and vote for Richard Kim for your Governor.
Thank you very much.
Folks,
The cases are really going up.
Plz, wear your masks (with N95 or KN95 levels), indoor (a must) and outdoor (crowded spaces).
It’s sad that the officials including Josh Green have already given up and abandoned us for a long time, since delta invasion last year.
Although not as deadly but much more infectious, the omicron variants will continue to hinder our lives and activities for some time, and further, probably more future variants may also likely, unless we reach herd immunity at the global level.
And, Hawaii may likely be one of the last places in the world to suffer this virus damage.
In fighting the virus, the timing may be very important; and so far, I have correctly (mostly) predicted the viral invasion and surge earlier than many other officials.
(Since we cannot disregard our economy, it may be a key for us to implement but titrate or adjust the necessary measures at proper time.)
I have two track plan for the virus management and control in Hawaii, although it may need to be adjusted accordingly depending on the situations. See the current plan at richardkimhawaii.com.
I promise I can definitely manage the virus much better than the current administrations.
Plz, vote for me as your next Governor.
Posted on May 11, 2022.
Unless the officials follow my plan to eradicate or control the virus within Hawaii, I cannot disagree with their plan to keep the mask mandate at schools for a while.
(I heard that children are more prone to Omicron than other variants.)
Btw, since we are still at high surge of cases, those vulnerable populations should continue to wear (N95 and KN95) masks, especially at crowded and/or indoor places.
Aloha.
Josh Green must not be our Governor. Simply because, he would INTENTIONALLY sacrifice MANY human lives again, over money or economy, especially against his conscience as a doctor.
Plz, remember, despite clear evidence, e.g. news on 6/21/2021 and ~5 months of delta variant surge (and also omicron, as a result) and mass casualties, Josh Green and Media have never apologized yet. This may mean it can happen again, if the same situations and opportunities come, Josh Green will do it again, and Media may again be silent.
It’s very serious matter!
People should realize the fact that I am denouncing my opponent Josh Green is very much for people’s benefit, not just for my gain. In fact, I don’t care if I get elected or not.
I am alerting the innocent Hawaii people of this danger, especially because Media are not doing their job correctly, but in fact, they have been in cahoots with Josh Green.
If you don’t see this very important untold news, delta floodgate, (equivalent to crime against humanity), but only want to see the negative side of my such accusation, plz I would dare to claim you are very sick.
Why don’t you want to see the very important thing, INTENTIONAL negligence, that had caused and resulted in hundreds of unnecessary deaths and tens of thousands avoidable infections, especially as a doctor and liaison for COVID-19? Perhaps because, it didn’t happen to you?
That’s why we (you) need to improve our (your) emotional health very much.
Aloha.
Why Josh Green must not be our governor and rather should resign?
Facts and evidence regarding delta floodgate only lead to Josh Green’s ACTIVE responsibility for ~5 months of hundreds of unnecessary deaths and tens of thousands avoidable infections, especially as a doctor and liaison for COVID19. (See News on June 21, 2021.)
So far, Josh Green (and Governor Ige) have not apologized at all, despite there have been clear (even legal) connection between his intentional negligence and mass casualties as a result.
Sadly, Media have been in cahoots, and they have rather reported as if Josh Green has done a good job in COVID19 management. It must have been pure manipulation by Media (and Status Quo) thru mis, dis, and un- information to innocent Hawaii people.
If Josh Green gets elected thru Media’s (and Status Quo’s) such manipulations on people, plz don’t forget he may again choose mass human casualties over money, if we get into similar situations in the future.
The viral damage is not over yet. Hawaii may likely be one of the last places on earth to suffer the damage, at least til we reach herd immunity at the GLOBAL level, thru natural infections and vaccinations.
Again, plz remember Josh Green (as well as Media) have not admitted guilt or apologized yet.
Testing mandate, (if any).
If there may exist or suspect spread, especially community spread, I would (may) probably want the affected population to have testing mandate.
In worst scenario, I would (may) want to test any or all people on the islands, especially at the same time, in order to quickly identify and isolate such affected patients.
Aloha.
No mask mandate! (goal)
Some people falsely think I would implement mask mandate as if all the time.
That’s not true.
I also don’t want to implement mask mandate at all, although I may promote wearing masks, since masking helps prevent transmission of the virus, if any.
At my current plan, I would only want to implement mask mandate, when you fly, especially when you return or travel to the islands. (We still need to negotiate with Fed for it.)
Once we achieve eradication or control of the virus within the islands, I would never want to implement mask mandate at any place, even at our schools or indoors.
But, I will do one by one, and step by step.
Plz, be patient til then.
We can do it together.
Mahalo.
$100? $300? tax rebate, due to surplus? Especially at this time of pandemic emergency?
Are they out of their minds?
If we have surplus, e.g. we should prepare and invest on infrastructure for future COVID19 variants (and/or other microbial) invasion to our islands. We should also invest and build on our self sustainable economy, which must be among our top priorities, especially because we may encounter (or might have already encountered) economic hardships and/or “Stagflation” soon.
I only feel they may be again trying to drug us just for temporary gratification. Don’t you get the fact that “we are all sick”, not knowing true priorities, especially at this time of pandemic, (e.g. even after unnecessary mass casualties have happened due to their intentional bad policy decisions in handling COVID19)?
When are we going to realize we should invest on our emotional growth, which is also among top priorities?
Aloha.
I just got updated? info about COVID19, from a livestreaming seminar (for my CE) that I have been taking early this morning, from Mayo clinic in Minnesota.
New varaiants alert; Deltacron and XE.
XE, especially.
Its growth rate is 10% higher than BA.2, stealth omicron, which was already 50% more transmissible than Omicron. Evidence of community spread by XE within England.
(Omicron’s R0 is 12, which was already among the worst in any transmission. Only one monoclonal antibody, Bebtelovimab, is effective against Omicron.)
And, the 2nd booster is only 6-8 weeks effective, according to Israeli studies, although still better to receive it, if can. (As I already posted days ago, its benefits are relatively very marginal.)
Aloha.
How do we know the islands are free from the virus, at least from current Omicron, (ASSUMING we are effectively controlling the virus at our ports)?
It usually depends on the incubation periods. Although the original strain had usually up to 2 weeks incubation, but Omicron may have shorter, perhaps 5 days.
So, if we are free from Omicron for about a week (if safely add 2 more days) incubation x 2= TWO weeks, then we may safely think, it has disappeared in our islands, as long as we don’t suffer from more influx of the virus.
I hope it happens soon, and we enjoy our daily lives back to normal.
Aloha.
How to effectively control or eradicate the virus internally (inside Hawaii), once we control our ports well?
Since many people don’t want lockdown, (which may be still fastest way to control the virus), we want to test any and all people on the islands AT THE SAME TIME, perhaps on weekend, preferably two consecutive days (or different intervals and frequency, as needed), with advanced notice and preparation, but repeat such (antigen) tests on the following weekend(s), if and as necessary, till we achieve eradication of the virus.
The goal is to isolate the infected as quickly as possible, and treat them early if and as necessary.
If we control or eradicate the virus within Hawaii, all Hawaii people can enjoy free activities with no mask, even at any crowded indoor places.
Aloha.
Omicron variants are more infectious but less deadly, but likely have much less incubation periods.
So, in my two track control of the virus, as I repeatedly stated, tightening our ports with more (pre and post travel) tests are the most crucial and the first thing we need to fully and successfully implement.
I know there may be issues how we need to cost-effectively implement and perform such (quick antigen) tests. But, we can still manage effectively with some alternative ways.
Among others,
1. Test all passengers before boarding.
2. If too expensive to build infrastructures for such preboarding test at the airports, then test during flight.
But, strongly recommend or require an extra test at home before coming to the airport.
(The goal is more to pre-screen the infected and to avoid the number of post arrival quarantine as possible.)
3. Require mask mandate during the flight (and even after arrival but before post arrival tests). (But first, discuss and negotiate with federal government, especially regarding mask mandate during the flight.)
4. Perform self post arrival test(s) on the following day and more if necessary, depending on the prevalence of the virus, (but quckly adjust the intervals and frequency of the tests, as needed), and also self report the result(s) on mobile app.
5. Make sure the government to prepare cost-effectively and have enough people (e.g. contact tracers) and systems to verify and manage such tasks.
6. Advise each tourist hotel to have Qurantine floor (and a small nurse station).
Aloha.
John Smith
I (Dr. Richard Kim) would protest and continue my “Noise Campaign”, and I hope Lg Green resigns soon.
Now, Hawaii Media are very much responsible for Covid damages, especially on delta surge (and Omicron as a result) in Hawaii.
One undeniable fact and evidence is they have never stated or reported LG Green’s irresponsible action or disaction bad, at least on delta invasion.
In fact, LG Green and Media have been in cahoots, probably much thinking of their ulterior interests, even at this time of pandemic medical emergency, having caused tens of thousands UNNECESSARY infections and deaths in Hawaii.
Hawaii Reform! Media Reform!
Note: Plz, don’t tell me I am doing too much. The degree of such campaign and impact is much less than (and no comparison to) that of Media (and Status Quo).
If we think in perspective of ecology and population genetics, COVID19 crisis might have been an evolutionary event; sadly, if think in negative side, to weed out weak genes among us, but in positive side, to strengthen our genes for the next coming generations.
Yup, although I and we should still rather want to protect such vulnerable populations as much as possible; but those millions of unlucky souls, who perished due to this pandemic, might have probably done their positive contributions to human evolution.
Aloha.
Dear everyone,
This is my (last) correspondence that Lg Green failed to respond. This may likely (should) mean he admits the facts and evidence in my specific questions are true. Admission by failure to respond. Mahalo.
“Lieutenant Governor Josh Green,
You are not answering my question first.
(I don’t need to hear your excuse or false opinion about me.)
As professionals, we should know and respond accordingly.
I will give you yes, no question, then. (If no, then, you may respond accordingly with your fact and evidence, but not with your projected opinions.)
Among others,
1. Did you demand Gov Ige to open the floodgate on June 21, 2021? (My evidence is based on news on June 21, 2021.)
2. Did you know the very contagious delta variant was about to invade the islands?
(Fact: You acknowledged the delta variant on June 24, 2021 on your own briefing.)
3. Did you do anything, as a doctor and liaison for COVID19, in preparation for fighting against the dangerous delta variant? If so, plz, state specifically.
4. Didn’t you disseminate false information, as if we would reach herd immunity only thru vaccination, at that time only two shots? Why?
5. Do you admit that there existed breakthrough cases, even among the vaccinated? If you knew, what was supposed to be your actions based on your job title as Lg, doctor, and liason for COVID19?
6. I understand your concern about economic devastation and people’s suffering from isolation. But, was it your job to mainly concern about that?
You consider economy and people’s psychological need over immediate physical attack by the virus, as more or first priority?
If so, plz reply accordingly with your correct logic as a medical professional.
7. Didn’t you read my post(s) regarding “tighter screening and tests at our ports”, prior to your demand of delta floodgate?
Even if not, do you think your response is to best of your knowledge and logic?
I will follow up according to your response.
Thanks again.”
Two track control (1.Tight control of our ports with more tests and screening 2. Test all people within Hawaii when necessary), in fighting the COVID-19.
Do you want no mandate in Hawaii?
Then, as I stated repeatedly, first we should tighten our ports with more tests for any incoming travelers, regardless vaccination status, (although preferred).
Then, for now, for the fast control within Hawaii (but since many people don’t want complete lockdown), 2-3 day psuedo lockdown on weekends, but repeat such pseudo lockdown on the following weekends, if necessary.
The purpose is to isolate as many people as possible, but have quick antigen tests on them.
In order to do that, we may need specific app development for such tasks, and some training and needed staff to manage such large assignments.
If we implement these infrastructure, which may not cost much, (relatively), we may control virus well within Hawaii; so we can enjoy normal daily lives without such as mask mandate, etc.
Aloha.
As one of plans for quick control of the virus within Hawaii, I may want to lockdown only about 3 days for now, hopefully less, if can, especially due to economy.
However, we can (may) still pursue some other measure(s) without lockdown, although it may take longer time.
However, if preferred for lockdown, I would want to give advanced notice for such 3? days of lockdown, so people and businesses can prepare.
(If needed, we may need to extend a few more days.)
However, if we can inform and/or isolate all of the infected within 3 days, we may open right after.
Note: I plan to test (e.g. 2 consecutive? day antigen tests) any and ALL populations of Hawaii during such lockdown.
Believe me, we can (may likely) control the virus within Hawaii, rather quickly and relatively easily with minimal negative effects on economy. But FIRST, we must (should) tighten our ports thru more tests and better screening.
The problem is the officials may likely and strangely not want to act accordingly (or have not shown their will). Simply speaking, they may not care much about, or have not put their priorities, on Hawaii people’s (especially the vulnerable’s) lives.
That’s why I have demanded Gov Ige’s and LG Green’s quick resignation.
Note: I believe we must have received enough money from Fed, for such necessary actions.
We need next Governor, someone who has good medical knowledge; so, he or she can proactively tackle this pandemic that we have been suffering much.
But, Not LG Green! He had chances to prove it, but very sadly, he did totally opposite to his conscience as a doctor and liaison for COVID-19, having caused tens of thousands unnecessary infections and deaths.
That’s why you need to vote for me, if I run.
P.S. Plz don’t forget that Media and LG Green have been in cahoots, thinking much of their ulterior interests, even at this time of pandemic medical emergency.
Mr. Friedrick Hayek.
Economist of my interest at this time of pandemic economy.
Mr. Hayek’s economic theory and philosophy could have helped us to escape the stagflation during the 70’s, which might have also helped in Reagan’s economic policies, (as well as fall of communism as a result).
We may need to reflect his ideas more, at this time of economic dilemma, likely facing stagflation with too much supply of money.
Aloha.
Note: Simply, based on Hayek’s economic theory and philosophy, in (likely) tackling stagflation in this pandemic, my prospective administrations may likely need to give more freedom (e.g. tax breaks) to Hawaii corporations, at least until we get thru such (much) economic hardships, as long as we (they) pursue self-sustainable, diversified economy.
Aloha.
It seems mainland states have started to drop mandates, NOT because, I believe, we are safe, but because they felt it may be better cost-effectively.
(This may mean, among other reasons, it may cost too much for saving the lives of the vulnerable.)
Therefore, regardless of such loosening restrictions, especially the VULNERABLE population MUST still follow the precautions, including wearing high grade masks like N95 or KN95, as if such mandates are still in effect.
UNIVERSAL PRECAUTIONS, (as if all other people are infected)!
Aloha.
In fighting COVID19, regardless dropping the mandates and vaccination requirements, pls don’t forget that our FIRST line of defense is
1. (More) For individuals, WEAR MASKS, (higher grade like N95 or KN95 for Omicron variant).
1. (More) For Communities, TEST, TEST, and TEST!
Plz, don’t forget…!
Aloha.
I don’t disagree if our current safe travels program on vaccination requirement is to be ended soon, since even the vaccinated can be infected and/or transmit.
But, we still need to keep PRE and POST travel testing in place.
Among other things, (for now, regardless vaccination status),
1. Pre Travel antigen test on everyone before boarding. (Make sure the travelers don’t have any symptoms of COVID19.)
And, (especially during the surge of Omicron variants for now), have mask mandate during the flight and for two days after arrival, (and if not possible having quarantine).
2.Then, Post arrival consecutive antigen tests for two days: Self administered, (only if having no symptoms), but self reported thru mobile app.
It can be modified, depending on the situations. (Note: For Omicron, the two consecutive post tests should be recommended since its possibly high transmission although incubation period may be less. Besides, the Stealth Omicron variant may be still on the horizon. But, it can be reduced to only once or perhaps none, if later in much less or nearly no prevalence.)
(Even if PCR pretravel test was done and negative, we still need to have post arrival tests, especially during the surge of Omicron variants.)
And, the cost of the tests should be assessed to each traveler, or included in the airfare.
Aloha.
My Noise Campaign against Lg Green and Media might have slowed down their activities, e.g. less number of fb posts by Lg Green and recently less number of interviews with Lg Green by Media; although we don’t know how it will unfold in the future.
Thankfully, Facebook has not blocked my such activity against their power games. Thank you.
Lg Green should (must) resign.
Media should (must) apologize to all Hawaii people that they have wrongfully supported Lg Green, and Reform. At least, they must report (should have reported) my side of view with such clear facts and evidence on their news.
Hawaii Reform! Media Reform!
We are still suffering from Omicron variant.
But, we (may want and) need to pay attention to how these surges, especially delta surge, have happened in Hawaii
Despite being a doctor and liason for COVID19, Lg Green intentionally invited, in fact, demanded, and freely allowed the dangerous delta variant to freely invade our islands, without much safeguards; having resulted in tens of thousands, unnecessary but avoidable, infections and deaths in Hawaii.
At that time, Lg Green should (must) have known the delta variant was much more infectious (6-7 times more than previous original strain), and there have also been breakthrough infections even among the fully vaccinated (at that time, only two shots), and further many Hawaii people were still not vaccinated.
Ironically, on his briefing on June 24, 2021, only 3 days after his demand for opening of the floodgate, Lg Green laid out the two (opening the floodgate and monitoring deadly delta variant), directly contradicting info, without any remorse, just like a Nazi doctor monitoring (and counting) his own victims.
Aloha.
