Does grief follow anger or does anger follow grief? How will the survivors of Maui come to terms? This episode is a turning point, no?

Thank you for this fantastic and concise reporting.

I do not intend this comment to be off topic, because I believe we are being attacked on all fronts and it can be very "fog of war" confusing. So I am throwing into the mix, FWIW, the most recent announcement where I live (Maryland): we have our first reported case of "locally acquired malaria," so around pm Friday (yesterday) without prior notification to the population, it was announced that the State of Maryland would be "spraying" after 7:30 pm the same day. Did not say where this would be happening, or how. It said:

"The state will spray for mosquitoes after 7:30 p.m. Friday with a permethrin-based solution approved for use in public health mosquito control programs without posing unreasonable risks to human health, said the Maryland Department of Agriculture."

"unreasonable" risks to human health.

I'm not trusting any of them, any more. Any public health officials. I hope the population is OK and this is not informed consent. We don't really know what's happening until it is already upon us (like the fires), and we don't have the tools or knowledge to protect ourselves.

What is this malaria scare, anyhow? Could we not take hydroxychloroquine?
