#Maui is an island so everything has to be shipped in. Also, the state and / or #Maui_County has to approve everything that gets rebuilt. I would hope they require less flammable materials, too. Now that this has happened once, we know it can happen again.
I saw a report that some areas along the Gulf Coast could get 12-16 feet / 3-4 meters of seawater above normally dry ground. That’s enough to saturate ground floor living areas in homes and apartments, and in some cases, to put 1-2 feet of water in second level living areas.
I have not seen casualty figures, but I would not be surprised if many people who stayed in those areas perished.
I was a business major, but I also worked in fast food during college. I know how corporations game things so that employees get paid less. I know that $55K is not enough to deserve "work overtime for free".
Years ago, one of the big fast food chains was sued (and lost) over giving low-paid salaried assistant managers no real managerial decision making authority, but using "you're salaried" as an excuse to steal hours of unpaid labor each week. It looks like the restaurant industry seeks to keep doing this.
Another brother is also infected, but as far as I'm aware, his spouse is not.
They haven't been in the same place at the same time since May, I believe, so they didn't get #2019-nCoV from each other.
I noticed some symptoms, so I took a home test and it showed negative. My sister has weekly tests for work (she's a schoolteacher), so I know that she also tested negative or she couldn't go to work. Mom said she's had some symptoms. We're waiting for her to test.
@aab HTTPS Everywhere is expected to go away soon, as both Mozilla Firefox (and its descendants) and Google Chrome (and its descendants) now have an option to require HTTPS from all sites.
