As far as the DOH, it has been incompetently led for a long time and it is no better under Virginia Pressler and Governor Ige.  The excuse given by the DOH spokesperson that Dr. Park and Hilo hospital director  Dr. Jon Martell have not
been able to contact each other to discuss what may be the best treatment for this disease is not credible given the various methods of communication (telephone, email etc) that are available.
Pressler in fact in response has ultimately thrown the responsibility to the treating doctors to decide what would be the best treatment for each patient but given Pressler's stated position against the treatment protocol
favored by Dr Martell, how many doctors would be willing to go against the recommended treatment protocol of the DOH and the CDC.  If you think about it the CDC is an important source but not the only one.
Medical experts in other parts of the world where the disease is common should be consulted for help.
