Nearly a year since COVID-19 locked down the world, the Maui District Health Office, along with many community partners, is continuing to work hard to mitigate COVID-19. Here’s a summary of what we are working on to flatten the curve.
⢠Case investigations: Infectious disease investigators follow up with people who test positive for COVID-19. Investigators gather information including symptoms, onset date and close contacts. This information assists our contact tracers.
⢠Contact tracing: Contact tracers follow up with COVID-19 patients and contacts of cases. They gather information which helps determine isolation release dates for COVID-19 patients and quarantine release dates for contacts.
A sales guy runs out of gas in the Illinois countryside and starts walking, hoping to cadge a gallon or two.
Eventually, as the old joke goes, he spots a farmer and a dog sunning themselves on the front porch of a farmhouse and approaches. Cautiously, he asks, “Does your dog bite?”
“Nope,” says the farmer, whereupon the chap reaches out his hand and barely pulls it away in time to keep it from being chewed off.
“I thought you said your dog doesn’t bite,” he protests.
“That ain’t my dog,” says the farmer.
The old joke may not have any point other than to make us laugh, but, if it does have one, it might be that you need to make sure who something belongs to before you go messing with it, and make sure you’re not confused as to who the real owner is.

The parents of a Granite City woman ask the court to sanction a man and his attorney for filing a lawsuit accusing them of failing to protect the man’s brother, who they claim abused their daughter, broke into a home they didn’t own, and was shot and killed when they weren’t there.
Defendants Marvin and Cynthia Mills filed a motion for sanctions through attorney Thomas Maag of the Maag Law Firm in Wood River. They seek sanctions against plaintiff Ronald Wilderness and attorney Derek Rudman of St. Louis “for filing, serving and prosecuting an utterly frivolous case.”
