Apply for Aid or leave a tip for Oahu’s displaced restaurant workers. In response to watching restaurants lay off mass amounts of employees across Honolulu, we have decided to band together as a community to support one another. Following the lead of cities around the country, we created a virtual way to tip and support individuals in the restaurant industry. On our web page/ spreadsheet you will find a growing list of Honolulu restaurant professionals (bartenders, servers, hosts, chefs etc.) from your local restaurants who have either currently been laid off due to recent closures or who have had their income dramatically reduced due to COVID-19 and are in need of financial help.

Due to public concern about the risk of COVID-19 in public gatherings, Blood Bank of Hawaii is canceling all upcoming blood drives – including on neighbor islands – as of Monday, March 23. As the stewards of Hawaii’s blood supply, however, we must balance the need for public safety with the need to maintain adequate and continuous levels of blood. Meeting both needs requires a bold new approach. Therefore, we created a safe donation environment which complies with the social distancing recommendations while also allowing us to collect the necessary blood to sustain our
community.

Hello ES friends and family. The Ah Quon McElrath (AQ) gathering place on George Hall's third floor is such an active and exciting place. Imagine it. Students sit along the ledge waiting for class. Professors leave their doors open and give a smile to anyone passing by. The janitorial staff says hello. A student worker goes on errands. The graduate assistant posts up a new event flyer; it's an 'AWAkea. Don't you miss that community feel? Well, we are moving it online! Over the next couple of weeks the Department of Ethnic Studies will be hosting and posting events here. Be sure to check your email for updates. Also be sure to turn off notifications in forums! Perhaps the best part of the AQ Lounge Online is you don't have to wait for that terribly slow elevator. You do need a UH account to access Laulima though.

China is an untrustworthy, paranoid, autocratic state with a history of deadly epidemiological coverups (SARS), and it mishandled and lied about the covid crisis early on.
But covid is not a bioweapon. Nor did it escape from a lab.
