Venetian leaders know what is killing their community

1 min read

So, today we hear Venice in Italy is opening for business on June 3 with no restrictions.

Let's compare the Venito District to Maui: Venito's 1,752 deaths to Maui's 6 are nearly 30,000 percent more; Venito in square miles is 7,083 to Maui's 727, or nearly 10 times bigger; Venito's population is 4.9 million, nearly 34 times larger than Maui's 144,000.

Who has the great risk exposure? Clearly Venito, not to mention the rest of their country.

Yet, their leaders clearly understand what is really killing their community and future: the loss of jobs and businesses, not COVID-19.

Too bad we don't have real leadership in Hawaii.
