Unsurprisingly, tourism has taken a hit since Aug. 8 when wildfires turned everything in its path to ash, forcing evacuees to jump into the ocean to escape the flames and leaving hundreds of friends and loved ones unaccounted for. Airline passenger numbers to Maui fell 80% this week compared to the same time last year, according to the Hawaii Department of Business, Economic Development and Tourism. It estimates Hawaii’s economy has lost some $8.5 million in sales revenue each day since the wildfires erupted on Maui and the Big Island. The total economic damage and cost could total $7 billion, Moody’s Analytics said in an initial estimate, which called the price tag “astronomical” and suggestive of a "brief but severe local recession.”

10,000 jobs lost to the fires But state tourism officials warn that as many as 10,000 jobs have been lost as a direct result of the Maui wildfires. Visitor spending losses are estimated at $1.05 million a day, and household income loss is estimated to top $535,500 a day, according to the Department of Business, Economic Development and Tourism.

Calde posted:woah, I remember that little saga! Until hazcat’s post above, I didn’t realize it was much of a big deal for anyone except my own mind blown/crack ping moment. I suppose I am subject to main character syndrome. quote:Happy to see you're still lurking, covid thread lurkers gotta stick together imho Well, since I am out of lurking mode for the moment, I’ll post an anecdote. I am visiting my company’s India office. Had an impromptu chat with a colleague that started with how is the weather small talk but proceeded into climate change doomerism (“I don’t know what it means when there is no water in 10 years”) and eventually to Covid. His mother is a recently retired doctor and has been telling him about the unprecedented rise in cardiac events. He mentioned that he is aware of cardiac events among his friends—“that’s not supposed to happen at 40”. It was as if I ran into thread regular IRL. Well, except for one thing…. no mask. When I pointed to my mask, he only connected it then (!) as he had thought I am just a white guy protecting myself from dirty Indian air (True, air quality outdoors is not great but the office air seems to be filtered well enough).

https://ondinebio.com/photodisinfection-cuts-covid-in-meat-processing-plant/ quote:aPDT involves the application of a topical photosensitizer inside the nose, which has a positive charge that preferentially binds to negatively-charged microorganisms. Two small nasal cones connected to a light source are then inserted into the nares (nostrils) to activate the photosensitizer using a specific wavelength of red light. During illumination, the excited photosensitizer reacts with nearby oxygen which generates reactive oxygen species (ROS) that destroy a broad spectrum of microbes including bacteria, viruses, and fungi. This treatment is painless and takes approximately 5 min to administer. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2666535223000393?via%3Dihub

Went to Home Depot. While waiting in line, overheard an employee tell another employee how sick she felt and that she thought her fever was coming back. In the 2-3 minutes I was waiting before hearing that and noping to a far away register, she helped 2 or 3 couples who looked to be at least in their 70s with their purchases. Store was packed with grey hairs too, they love Home Depot in the morning. Just normal things. Oh mighty 3M Aura, I call upon your blessings.

my blood pressure has been pretty consistently high for a few months now, 130+ SBP in medical settings, so my cardiologist had me get a home monitor to do daily tests for a few weeks, using the "five minutes of quiet and rest before a test" protocol. the first few times it was 140+ SBP over 80-85 DBP, which is pretty high. then i started drinking 6-8oz of beet juice in the morning and it's gone down to 120- SBP over ~80-82 DBP. it's hard to control for everything of course — food, exercise, rest, time of day, and so on. i'm sure there are many factors. i'll probably try cycling back off it and see what happens. just figured i would mention it on the endothelial health front.
