We need to find a way to rebuild our economy.  Gov. David Ige announced Wednesday that he has appointed Hawaiian Electric Co.’s senior executive advisor Alan Oshima to lead a statewide COVID-19 recovery initiative.

Ige signed a proclamation to give Oshima a role in his office to lead the Hawaii Economic and Community Recovery and Resiliency Plan “to lead a collaborative effort with government, business, nonprofits and the community to develop and carry out” a plan for Hawaii to recover from the COVID-19 crisis.

the plan was broken down into three parts: stabilization, recovery and resiliency.

For “stabilization,” the goal is “to identify and address critical economic and community impacts, including the allocation of the federal CARES (Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security) Act funds and state and local funding to mitigate the collapse of key economic sectors.”

In “recovery,” the goal is to “identify and support economic and community development activities which provide recovery, job growth and capital investment in the economy.

For “resiliency,” there would be a re-evaluation and restructuring of Hawaii’s economy “to meet the new normal and desired future for Hawaii.”

Trump ignored Navaro's memo predicting this tragedy.  Trump continues to use the press conference as his private circus show and campaign whistle stop to convince America he has performed a perfect ten in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Host Tim Apicella and co-host Winston Welch discuss a full week of Trump's reality TV like performances and more podium spin of his version of how the federal response has been to combat COVID-19.

His bullying of the captain of the Theodore Roosevelt, and his firing of the Secretary of the Navy, the Inspector General who transmitted the Ukraine whistle blower report to Congress, the Inspector General appointed to oversee the aid package, and his last press secretary, and his termination of funding for WHO, all suggest that he is unable to run the country, especially in a time of crisis.

Are the courts still open?  Will they stay open?.  Chief Justice Mark Recktenwald of the Hawaii Supreme Court will help us understand how the Coronavirus is affecting our Judiciary.

In general, how does a crisis like this affect the Judiciary, and more specifically how is this crisis affecting it.

The issues and challenges involved in responding - keeping staff, judges, counsel and parties safe, and exactly how do you do that.

Who’s working in  the courts and who’s working from home (using remote?), on Oahu and on the neighbor islands.  

What functions have had to be shut down, how long will they be shut down, and what delays should we expect.

What is the overall effect on the bench, the bar, the speed of process and the administration of justice in Hawaii.

Some say there will be a wave of litigation arising out the difficulties of the crisis.  What are your thoughts on that.

This of course was a surprise, but what should we be thinking about to be better prepared next time.
