This guy right here, bro, is the best trader I've ever seen in my entire life. And over here is me, a herb.  You guys didn't dress up? No, no one dressed up. I was the only guy dressed up. I just released another live trading video for the Lifetime members. So what I've been doing, bro, a lot of people have been asking for more live trading videos. So I've been recording my screens and recording live trades. And every Thursday I'm releasing live trades and so far I have 145,000 hour live trade, 3,000 hour live trade, and 17,000 hour live trade. So for you that's been paper trading, that's like trying to learn, you should be digging into these live trading videos, George, because it's showing you exactly like how I'm trading. So look, there's Bed Bath and Beyond example. Something that you have. You know, you'll see my trades live. You'll see everything. All I want to do is play in the store. I want to be able to. And I explain the trades. So that's going to be for Lifetime members. But anyway, to be honest, bro, to be honest, there's really not much moving today. It's looking like a slower day because all the money and all the attention is on the big stocks, the large cap stocks. So it might end up being a slow day, but regardless of slow or hot, I'm sure we'll find something to trade. Well, let's see, bro. We got about 12 miles to the open. But today, today's Apple dividend day. So what that means, if you hold Apple stock, they give you a dividend. Today, Warren Buffett got $280 million in cash from Apple for his dividend. Yeah. Must be nice to be rich, too. Must be nice to be rich. Oh, we got a stock that's getting pumped right now. So now DBGI is at that $6 line. So we're trying to add some more. And now we're just going to try to add some more to this pump and dump, dude. Yeah. I'm trying to add some more. Beautiful entry at six, dude. Beautiful entry. Man, that's great. All right, that's one minute to open. One minute to open. We got this pump and dump that we're looking to short around the $6 hold-out line, planning on adding some more at the open. And that's pretty much it, bro. So let's see if we can get a good trade on this thing. The market's still slow, but looking good. Yeah, all we need is a couple hundred bucks, bro. Let's just make a little bit of money today. It's a little bit of all we need. 30 seconds until the open. If this thing just collapses out of the open, I'll try to take some of my position off for profit. If it bounces at the open, then I'm gonna look to add some. Right. Two more is open. Okay. I'm adding some more DVGI. Got it at six. Adding some more. Ideally, we want to see it under 570. Come on, 580. 570, 550. Oh, man. Oh, man. Come on, a little bit more. Let's go a little bit lower. 560. See that? This candle is now showing us that $6 is very clearly the top. So long as $6 is not reclaimed, it should break down. And on this next breakdown, I'm gonna take my profit. Perfect. Have you noticed that when it hits the VWAP, it really crashes? The VWAP is very important, right? It's a very important level, yeah. The VWAP that is pre-market, and then the regular, you know, the VWAP. Yes. Is there an indication between those? It's just the same thing. They're kind of like... It just gives you more areas of interest. Okay. But for now, bro, I got an easy trade, easy. Let's just try to make money on this stock. Let's see if I can add some more. 550, come on. Go down, 540. Come on. A little bit lower. There it is. Come on, getting out at 36. Come on, come on, almost there. Try to get out at 36. Okay, I got out at most at 36 and now I bounced. So I got 1,800 shares left. Gonna just try to get out of these at 41. Almost out of this DBGI. I got 800 shares of DBGI, so I'm just gonna get out of DBGI so I can call it a day on that stock. That's done. So DBGI, we made 3,800 bucks. DBGI, I just run me through that, so I see some of the markers. So yeah, this stock, DBGI was a pump and dump in the morning. It had a resistance at 610, and basically what I did is I just shorted that $6 line and boom, it's probably gonna go lower without me. So what I want to know is that first hit, I think you did about 400 shares. Yes. Then the second hit. Yes. How many? Like 1,000 shares. Okay, and then you ended up, because you ended up having like a bunch, like 1,000 shares with it? Yep. I got a bunch when the stock just had its death candle and then I added even more. Also you added more because you knew it was broken and it'll low view a lot probably. Massive death candle. Right. That's extended as it was to the upside, now it's extended to the downside. And I think that because the CPI numbers are good, because the inflation numbers are good, they'll try to bounce the stock. Ideally we want to see it above 185. If we see it above 185, then that's a good sign. Where is it, where is the line? What do you call quets? Probably under 180. If it breaks under 180, I'd be like, you know, something's wrong here. Was that the close of the day last, yesterday? Yeah, close day was 178, and like 180 over here is like the last support. Okay. All the largest guys pretty much work the same, man. Yeah, they all move together. They're all going up, they're all going down a little bit now. Yeah, they all move together. This MSGM, I don't know what I'm gonna do. I don't know if I'm gonna short it on the unhauled, I might. This MSGM is bouncing, so I'm trying to short some. Okay, so I short this MSGM here, I got a 10, MSGM, MSGM, MSGM, 5,000. See if I can get some more MSGM. Oh, look at that, bro, no, not enough. I don't have enough. I shorted at 975, it's at 850. I want to do more, bro. I only have a thousand shares. I made a dollar a share. I don't know what to do, bro. I gotta add this, it's not like I can't add it. It's gonna halt. That was too slow, bro. There's too much happening. Whatever, I'm just gonna take it. No, I couldn't take it, it halted. Okay, well. The only thing is good, though. It's good, I want it more, bro. I want to f***ing more, I got a thousand shares. The odds right now after a haul, they're just gonna crash? Yeah. So far, bro, we're doing really good. Yeah, great, it's a great day. Wow, look at Tesla, bro. Now at 187. Right idea, bro, right idea, f***ing sh*** execution. All right, but you took the profits. Now I'm looking at H-U-D-I, trying to get some more. It's all right, stick to the plan, bro. We got this H-U-D-I shorting the $10 line. A lot of sh*** happening today, bro. A lot of sh*** happening. Good day. Come on, come on. That's exactly what we want, come on. What is the line? 960 is the line. Come on, guys, come on. H-U-D-I hot shake? Pretty quick. To be honest, bro, there's not really any hot shakes. I think V-E-R-U, look, this V-E-R-U is the hot shake. Okay. Yeah, we're focused on that, huh? No, but this MSGM, bro, I was one second away from adding it. Wow, look at this, bro. This is DB-G-I, this is stock we traded. Collapsed. Dead. F***. Yeah. So my plan is MSGM, when this sh*** opens up, I'm just gonna exit my position. And H-U-D-I, I'm looking for a dip to exit as well. So you would have tried to add like as soon as it opened, right? That's like too hard, right? It's already down, bro. It's already down. I shorted nearly 10 bucks. Right. So my entry is perfect, bro. I just, if I got a little bit more, bro, I would have banked. I would have made so much money. There's still a lot of money. Yes, it's all right. But then the day, bro, it's not really about being perfect. It's about taking some profits and playing without some money. So it is, bro. You gotta just take your profits. If you are able to take your profits, bro, and nothing's ever gonna f*** go wrong. Problems occur when people don't take their profits. In other words, get greedy. Yeah. Oh, it's MSGM opened up. Whoa, that's weird. That's weird. What's going on? I don't like that. I don't like that. Oh, whoa, whoa, what the f***? Let's see what it does. Not worth the ad? I don't know. I'm not gonna add. Oh, it's going down again? Yeah, there it is. Let's see. I don't know, George. You know what, cause? I think I'm just gonna get out because it doesn't feel right. Yeah. It doesn't feel right.  It doesn't feel right. I'm trying to get out. Come on, bro.  Well, it's good playing, cause it was good playing. Yep. So I'm out of this MSGM, bro. Made $370. Yeah, it's fun. It doesn't feel right to me, dude. And it might just crash. It might just f*** tank. But like, for me, bro, when a stock doesn't feel right, when I don't feel comfortable in a stock, that to me tells me that it's all right.  But the stress, the headache, the pain, that's gonna give me something I don't wanna deal with. Right. I want this HUDI to go down, bro. It's so close. It's so close. So are we still in? HUDI, what else? That's it. Oh, hello. Oh. Hello. Trying to get out? 720? Come on, it's 920. Give it to me, bro. Look at these entries, bro. Look at these f***ing entries. That's the sexiest thing I've seen, bro. Come on, 920, 12,000 shares left. Just get me out, bro, just get me out. You know what, cause I'm gonna move it. I'm gonna move it to 940. MSGM is halting down now. F***ing. F***ing, motherf***ing. It's a good day, George. A good day, finally. Some f***ing money. You know what this shows me? You're up a lot. And you made, you know, you didn't make the perfect moves. You know, you could have tapped in at MSGM.  Bro, I am not a perfect trader, bro. By any sense of the word, I am not perfect. What I'm really good at, bro, is picking stocks. Stock selection is what I'm really good at. And that's why I'm in charge of making the watch list. Almost out, we got a thousand shares left, George. It shows people, you know, you can do it. You just gotta stay. You see, bro, sometimes we're trading Tesla, we're trading this, we're trading that. I'm drinking coffee, we're doing this, that. Pumping this. Like there's a lot of s*** happening, bro. There's a lot of s*** happening. But if you do it right, bro, like look, we shorted the $10 line here. You know what I'm saying? We shorted the $10 line. I used whole and half dollar marks. Okay, I'm out. So let's add up the money today, bro, because I'm done trading for the day. 379324 from DBGI. Tesla, 509.56. HUDI, 10,346,051 cents. And MSGM 372.94, 15,000. And it is 10 bucks. That's it. Look at that s***. Look at that s***. Unbelievable. That's it. Oh my God. You see, bro? You see? Oh my one dude. Is it gonna hold? Oh yeah. It just holds? Bro, if I waited literally two more minutes, I could have made another 15,000. Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God. Plus 15,000, bro. Don't say oh my God. Close this goddamn camera, bro. I'm done trading, bro. I'm f***ing pissed now. I'm f***ing pissed.


kind of a name is Fox. Aloha everyone. Welcome to Talk Story with John Wahey. And I am so pleased today to have as my co-host, Jay Fidel. I am delighted to be here, Governor. You actually got your own show. Well, if I was you, that would make it great. But the reason why Jay is joining me is because we got such an important episode this afternoon. Our guest is actually from the Department of Health. And he is there right now. And unfortunately, he will be talking to us via Skype or telephone or something. Skype audio. Skype audio. We have a photograph of him so you can see what he looks like. Right. So you can do that. Now, before we go too much further, Jay, what we're going to talk about today is I think a subject that is of concern to a lot of people in Hawaii, especially now when everybody's walking around town asking each other, have you been immunized? Immunized. Immunized for hepatitis A, B, whatever. And the general consensus is if you haven't been immunized before, you should be now. We can ask Ron Balaharia about that. And if you have been, you know, do you need to be re-immunized? Well, I know.  And I said, I'm not yet. You know, I want to learn more about it. And hence, actually kind of today's show, that today's show. And she said, don't touch me. You know, like, stay away from me. So I want to know. Now, that got me excited. You find out how infectious it is. How is this? I mean, what is this about? And what should we be concerned about? So today, as you mentioned, we have online with us Ron Balaharia, who is the branch chief for the Immunization Branch at the Department of Health. Hello, Ron, are you there? Yes, I am. Thank you. Tell us a little bit about yourself, Ron. You're branch chief for the Immunization Branch at the Department of Health.  Is that a good beginning? Well, tell us how you get to be branch chief. Well, thank you for the introduction. I am the Immunization Branch Chief here at the Hawaii Department of Health. And I actually have a master's degree in microbiology from the University of Hawaii at Manoa. And prior to that, I actually got my undergraduate, my bachelor's in biochemistry at the University of Arizona. I'm an actual native from the island of Guam and went to school and decided to make Hawaii my home. And I basically, after I graduated at the University of Hawaii Master's, I went back to Guam and I was the Immunization, basically program manager there for ten years. After that, I decided I wanted to still continue on with immunizations, but then I decided that I wanted to work for a bigger group. So I decided to work for the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta, Georgia. Everybody knows and referred to CDC. And so I was a contractual employee for them as an immunization liaison for the U.S. Associated Pacific Islands. So I lived here and was stationed here in Hawaii, but I was able to go to Palau, to Guam, to the Northern Mariana Islands. So you were all over the Pacific dealing with various types of communicable, I guess, diseases? Something that you said? Yes, specifically vaccine-preventable diseases. So these are the diseases that have a vaccine associated with it that if you are vaccinated, that you can prevent from getting these diseases. So if there's no vaccine, then you don't care. You don't want to help. Is that it? You're not involved in lessons of vaccine that can prevent it? Yes, exactly. Okay. All right. So specifically, I wanted to talk to you today about hepatitis. You know, I looked it up and I found out that there are all kinds of hepatitis. I mean, it's like A-D-D-D-E. And there's hepatitis that comes from alcohol, hepatitis that's spread by contact, they're viral hepatitis, they're biological. Tell me a little bit about what I'm talking about. Okay. So hepatitis, the word hepatitis actually means inflammation of the liver. And the actual diseases that we're going to be talking about today are what we call the viral hepatitis series. So you have A, B, C, D, and E. And of those five viral hepatitis that I just mentioned, two of them are and actually most people will hear about hepatitis A, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C. Those are the normal three that everybody hears about. Of those three, two of them are what we call vaccine preventable. What we mean by that is that we actually have vaccines that can be vaccinated or injected to an individual so that they don't come down with these two diseases of hepatitis A or B. We do not have a vaccine for hepatitis C at this point in time, but A and B are the only two that we currently have of the five that I just mentioned. Which is the hepatitis where you can take a drug after you get it and be cured, but the cost of the drug is hundreds of thousands. Which is that? So hepatitis C is what you're referring to where there's medication for that particular, but because it's not vaccine preventable, I really don't have a lot of expertise in that particular area, but it is one of the five viral hepatitis that's out there. What causes hepatitis? A, for example. So the five that we're talking about are viral hepatitis, meaning there's a virus that causes the disease. So for hepatitis A, it's caused by hepatitis A virus, hepatitis B, hepatitis B virus, et cetera. So these particular viruses invade and or cause inflammation of the liver. And that really there's various routes and or ways that these viruses can make people sick. And so with the current outbreak that we are experiencing right now with hepatitis A, it's what we call fecal oral transmission. Wait a minute, what do we call it fecal oral transmission? That means somebody's eating something nasty. Well, that somebody didn't wash appropriately their hands and happened to be preparing some type of either food or drink or something that they've touched, and then the individual then ingested that virus through some means. And so that's why it's one of the most important things in our website that we say for people to try to protect themselves besides being vaccinated is to wash their hands thoroughly, especially after using the bathroom, when you've changed children's diapers, when you're trying to prepare food for other people yourself, you always want to make sure that you constantly are washing your hands really, really well. Are you including the scallops issue with that? Because that has nothing to do with fecal. Well, though, the people have ingested that virus, and then that means... And so we don't really know specifically about the scallops that the virus actually was attached or contained in that product. What we do know is that that virus was found to be in the product itself. How it got there, we really don't know. So since we got on that subject, what is the origin of... what is your prognosis regarding the origin of that virus? I don't have that detailed information on that, so it's still right now currently being investigated, and we're really trying to find out a little bit more details of that. As you are all well aware, this process is a lengthy process that we have to go through, and we really have to work with our partners, the FDA with CDC, including ourselves, in really trying to do the investigation on this, and we really want to make sure if we are able to identify that we identified correctly and not misidentified things. Let me throw something in here. We had essentially two rounds of hepe in the last few weeks. One was at a restaurant, not the sushi place, at another restaurant, and the implication of the news story was that workers had not washed. Well, wash their hands when they touched the food. The implication was that that was a fecal kind of vector. But then you get to the one most recently, which had a lot of cases, that was about scallops. It was not fecal. Or it was not fecal at that time. So what's the distinction there? I can see the washing hands situation. How does the scallops get to carry this? You know, John, it could be that the scallops were not washing their hands. Yes, I think so. You know, it could very well be. But we must mean that there's somewhere along the line where somebody didn't comply with some kind of regulation. Yeah, and again, we don't know the details of that. Again, we're looking, trying to look back in time of what may have happened. And again, because it is currently still being investigated, we really don't have a clue right now as to what is the actual answer for that particular question. But it's something that is being looked at. Here's my concern about it. You get this, the one where washing hands was at least implied in the news that the source. They get another one and they say that it was the scallops. And that means that the scallops were the source. Are there any more sources out there? But the strange thing is that both of these happen in fairly close proximity, you know, within a week or two of each other, maybe three. And it's an outbreak now, but it's two separate kinds of vectors. That's an incredible coincidence, isn't it? What do you say to that, Ron? So just to clarify, the prior to Genki Sushi that was identified in the press release, all the other establishments that were announced, they just happened to have an employee that came down with disease. So that individual could have eaten someplace like Genki and got sick, but the product itself that they were at and the product that was being sort of where they were at is not the actual source of the actual outbreak. So there's a very clear distinction between an individual getting sick because they ate something and just happened to be a worker at an establishment or at a place that serves. And then how their proper hygienic type of conditions and or practices, that's a whole another question. Right, so it's possible that the scallops got the virus from somebody locally, from somebody working here that was working in there as well as giving it to somebody else. Or the people at the other restaurant, the first restaurant got the same virus from the scallops and then they transferred that around. So how extensive, I mean how communicable is this hepatitis A at the moment? Is that something that travels easily from person to person? So it is infectious, but it doesn't travel as easily.  So it's not that easily transmissible like those other diseases, but it can. It's not the measles in other words. I'm sorry? It's not like the measles or something. It's not like measles exactly.  So it's not the same as with hepatitis A. In hepatitis A you have to ingest that material that has been tainted or exposed to the hepatitis A virus. Okay, Ron, we're going to take a short break right now and before we do I want to tell our listeners that they can call us at<PHONE_NUMBER>. So that's<PHONE_NUMBER>. So we're going to take a break. We'll be right back to talk with Ron about what we can do about protecting ourselves and our families and even helping the Department of Health contain this disease. Aloha. My name is Josh Green. I serve as Senator from the Big Island on the Kona side and I'm also an emergency room physician. My program here on Think Tech is called Health Care in Hawaii. I'll have guests that should be interesting to you twice a month. We'll talk about issues that range from mental health care to drug addiction to our health care system and any challenges that we face here in Hawaii. We hope you'll join us. Again, thanks for supporting Think Tech. Aloha. I'm Kaui Lucas, host of Hawaii is my mainland every Friday here on Think Tech Hawaii. I also have a blog of the same name at kauilukas.com where you can see all of my past shows. Join me this Friday and every Friday at 3 p.m. Aloha. Hey, how are you doing? Welcome to Abachi Talk. My name is Andrew Lening. I'm your co-host and we have a nice program here every Friday at 1 o'clock on Think Tech Studios where we talk about technology and we have a little bit of fun with it. So join us if you can. Thanks. Aloha. Welcome back everybody to Talk Story with John Waihe. Today we have a most interesting subject. We're discussing hepatitis, hepatitis A in particular and perhaps we'll get on to some of the other hepatitis. But if any of you, like me, are curious about this subject, well, like me and Jay, please call in at<PHONE_NUMBER>. So, Ron, we are talking to Ron Balahadia, who is the branch chief at the immunization branch at the department, the Hawaii State Department of Health. So, Ron, we talked about how the disease is carried and it's virus-based and actually has a lot to do with hygiene, how we keep ourselves. Now, since there is an outbreak out there, tell us how we can get immunized. I'm having a terrible time with that. You've got to ask that question, Jay, because you can pronounce the word. Well, Ron, you can too. You know what I mean. I definitely know what you mean, yes. In order to get immunized and we're lucky that this particular virus, we do have a vaccine for, and as I mentioned previously, we also have it for hepatitis B. But for hepatitis A, the vaccinations, it was actually licensed around 1995 and it was only for those states or areas that had high rates of hepatitis A going on in the community. But in 2006, the advisory committee on immunization practices, which is the body working collaboratively with CDC, the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta, Georgia, that comes up with the recommendations for vaccinations, made it and expanded the recommendations to include routine vaccinations of children. And so we were getting definitely a lot of our children since 2006 vaccinated. It's done in the doctor's offices and, or especially for the children, are being vaccinated there. For this particular outbreak that we're experiencing, we are also and have expanded and areas that have been vaccinating have been our pharmacy collaborators and they have been making sure that there's enough vaccine and people are able to access the vaccine. Is there enough vaccine, Ron? There is definitely enough vaccine. When the outbreak started out, we actually communicated with our pharmaceutical companies to say this is ongoing right now and are there vaccines available? And they said yes, and they actually helped to redirect some of those vaccines over to Hawaii. So, Ron, what do I do? I go to, you know, I want to be vaccinated. And so what do I do? I go and see my doctor and just tell him, Doc, I need a prescription or does he check me out? Does he do something to me or, you know, make sure that I'm eligible or how do we do it? Yeah, exactly.  There's this outbreak that's going on and I'm really interested in wanting to be vaccinated. And the other thing with that is besides the outbreak, if you do a lot of traveling to international places to different countries, they also have hepatitis A in some of those other countries. It's really good to make sure you get vaccinated, especially if you like to eat a lot of different foods out when you're traveling. But go to your doctor, talk to them, ask them and let them know. And basically have that conversation with your doctor. A lot of your doctor's offices may not carry the vaccine readily in the refrigerators. So what they may do is refer you out to a pharmacy with a doctor's prescription to make sure, you know... I do need a doctor's prescription. I can't just go to, say, Longs or... and walk in there and say, you know, I'd like to be vaccinated. I have to go and see a doctor for a prescription. That raises an interesting question that you do have to do that. You have to get a prescription, but why? You know, for example, if you have a flu shot, you know, you can go down any drugstore and get it. You don't have to have a prescription. Everybody has to look you over. You just get the flu shot. Why do you require a prescription? Shouldn't that rule be changed, Ron? Well, the issue or the big thing that is of concern or at least at this point in time is insurance coverage on what insurance plan that you have and are they going to cover your vaccinations. And so that's the question that a lot of pharmacies are encountering. So it really, there's several things that are ongoing at this point in time when an individual wants to get vaccinated. And some of the pharmacies will require that you actually contact and get a prescription prior to coming to them. So one of the things that I would do normally is on the Department of Health's website, we have a list of available pharmacies. And what we ask people to do is either call your doctor directly or call the pharmacy. But you have to talk to someone and you have to explain your situation of what it is. Either you're an actual contact to an individual that came down with disease and that now you need to be vaccinated or that you're just interested party and that you want to get vaccinated. Based on the scenario, they will then try to fit and make that determination of whether you need a... So this is an insurance issue. In addition to other things, there's just not one thing, but just to make sure that you are covered or else you may have to pay out a pocket. What's the cost of a pocket? If I don't have insurance, what would it cost me? So it varies from some places as low as around $69 to $70 to upwards of $130 to $140 per shot. So again, it would vary depending on which... Without this prescription, then the normal coverage, insurance coverage would attach. Is that what we're... Normally you would just pay your copayment or whatever payment or no payment at all because it's a covered entity. Now I heard that the thing about these vaccinations is that you need to do it more than once. Yes, there's two doses. Okay, and why? And so the main thing is that the vaccine and the studies really that have been determining why there is two doses. So the first dose is actually a very good dose. It actually provides upwards of close to 90-some percent protectiveness, but that's not 100 percent. There's nothing that's 100 percent. And the studies have shown that if you give the second dose six months after the first dose, then you really are going to be protected for upwards of over 25 years. And again, the reason for that is right now when the vaccine came out in 1995, we can't really say a lifetime, but we know that for the body to respond appropriately that it looks like it is, and as time goes on, we'll be able to, with the studies that are going to be done, determine the length of time of protectiveness for these vaccines. But at this point in time with two doses, it looks upwards of over 20 years of protection. And so, Jay asked you a question during our break, which I really like to follow up on. And that is that if I get a vaccination for hepatitis A, does that protect me from the virus for hepatitis B? And no, it does not, because hepatitis A is very specific and is very different from hepatitis B and C and B and E. So it's really important that, and most of our people and actually a lot of our children have received our hepatitis B vaccine, because a lot of that is given right after birth in the hospitals. What's the difference? I mean, really, to a layman sitting here, I have no idea specifically or quickly. What is the difference between the vaccination for hepatitis A and hepatitis B? I mean, why do we need two different kinds? Well, because they're two different viruses. They're two different viruses that affect the body differently and make people sick. So hepatitis A will make you sick, but it doesn't protect you if you've been, if you have that disease, and now you're not susceptible to hepatitis B. So it's very unique. It's like talking about measles and rubella. They're two different organisms. Do we have hepatitis B going on these days? Do you have any cases in the state of hepatitis B right now? Well, we have with hepatitis B. The biggest thing is that we have a program where we're vaccinating all children that are born at the hospital with that particular vaccine. So a lot of our children actually, since 1990 here in the state of Hawaii, were vaccinated. So healthier than we are. So, well, and then other people that may have been, that afterwards their doctor recommended them to get hepatitis B vaccine. But we have a huge cohort of individuals that have been vaccinated against hepatitis B, and our numbers have dropped dramatically since back in that timeframe till now. And we don't see as many hepatitis B in children because of the vaccination program. And so what we're seeing it is in unvaccinated adults that may not have been given the vaccine or protected against that vaccine. The other difference between the two is with hepatitis B, you can have what we call a carrier status where an individual can continuously expose other individuals to hepatitis B. But not have any symptoms. Yeah, where hepatitis A, once you resolve the disease, you will not have a carrier status, and it's all pow, it's all done. But with hepatitis B, we have to make sure we educate people on the possibility of transmission if they are what we consider a carrier. Talking about educating people around, tell us about your website just if you don't mind. And so in addition to having people view this program, they can go and look up on your website what they need to know. Yes, go, definitely go to healthawai.gov. And on there we have a banner that talks about hepatitis, the outbreak that is currently going on. There's a lot of information there. There's posters. There's information on. What is that again? Help, give me the site again. It's health.awai.gov. Health.awai.gov. So they can get all the information they need from there. Ron, our time is up. Wait, before we close, I just want to hit two policy points real quick. Okay. Number one, when I get out of this discussion, is that there's an inefficiency going on with the requirement to go to see a doctor about what is really... Right, absolutely. And I think the Department of Health could change that rule. I think the legislature ought to do it as well. You know, it's an insurance problem. Insurance problem and HMSA should pay for it instead of having to pay for a doctor plus the vaccine. Absolutely. The other thing I get, just to add this last point, is that we have the homeless. And the homeless, by definition, don't do a lot of hygiene. They don't have bathrooms. They don't have time. Hygiene, you know what I mean? They don't have the opportunity. Facilities. And they don't have health insurance either. They don't have access to medical care. Yeah, what's happening real quick? I'm going to stretch our time. Ron, what's happening with the homeless on this issue? So the current cases that we're seeing, we're not seeing it in that population. And that's a lot of our investigations are currently going on. And based on the cases that we're seeing, it's not heading into those particular niches. And so the individuals that we are working with currently, it's basically trying to identify all the possible context that these individuals may have been involved in. You may not see these individuals eating at the various establishments that have already been named or identified. Okay, great. Well, Ron, we want to thank you so much for joining us today. And again, I think this is for people listening. This is a very important issue. I think if there are any legislators listening now or in the future, pay attention to the fact that we're actually raising health costs by insisting that people go to get a prescription as well as paying for a vaccination. And finally, again, learn more about this. Go to the Department of Health website. Thank you, Ron. And keep healthy, everybody. Thank you, Ron. Thank you, John. Thank you.


J-P-L-L-O The Jell-O Program starring Jack Benny with Mary Livingston, Phil Harris, Kenny Baker, and yours truly, Don Wilson. The orchestra opens the program with, How Can I Thank You? You know, out here in Hollywood, the makeup men are famous for their ability to turn a talented actress into any of a dozen different characters, all gay and glamorous. Well, I was thinking, you can do something like that right in your own kitchen. Or you can turn one package of Jell-O into any of a dozen different treats that are truly glamorous to look at and simply grand to eat. Garnish your Jell-O with seasonal fruits, molded in shimmering layers. Serve it whipped light and frothy as air. Use Jell-O for a crisply molded salad or tempting you relishes. Yes, there are as many ways to serve Jell-O as there are days in the year. And however you choose to serve Jell-O, you're sure of a success. For all six flavors bring you that delicious, extra-rich fruit flavor that can't be topped for sheer, satisfying goodness. So look for the big red letters when you buy. They spell Jell-O.  I could say he's one of the greatest comedians of all time. I could say he's one of the most glamorous lovers of the screen. I could say he's an outstanding personality. Well, why don't you? All right, I will. Ladies and gentlemen, Jack Benny. Jell-O again, this is Jack Benny talking, and listen, Don, no more of that I could say stuff. For heaven's sake, if you have anything as nice as that on your mind, come out with it. I can take it. Well, at first I was going to Jack, but then I thought I'd better tone it down a bit, not make it too strong. Don, I wish you wouldn't mull over things. If you have a sudden thought that I'm marvelous, say so. If you think I'm a heel, think it over. That's my motto. I'll remember that. I wish you would. Oh, by the way, Jack, why did you hear about our opening program last week? Any comments? Well, Don, to tell you the truth, I got mixed opinions on it. You know how people are. Kind of spotty, huh? Yeah, some people thought our show was marvelous, but others thought it was terrific. That's what I like to hear, both sides, you know? Well, Jack, didn't anyone say the show was bad? No, Don, not a soul. I didn't hear one unfavorable comment. Why, Jack, that's unbelievable. I know it. That's the trouble. But on the whole, Don, the critics were very nice. Now, take Jimmy Fiddler. He was grand. He gave us two bells and a tinkle. A tinkle? Yes, that's a bell, only he doesn't put his heart into it. Did you hear anything nice about our show, Don? Yes, I did. I read a swell review in the Grapefruit Growers Journal. Oh, the Grapefruit Growers. They like us? I'll say they gave us three squirts. Well, that's marvelous, a squirt, eh? Did you call me, Jack? No, no, Kenny, but as long as you're here, stick around. Don and I were just talking about our first program. Did you hear anything about it, Kenny? Oh, my mother was crazy about it. She thought it was very asinine. Oh, she did. Well, you didn't help the show any dragging in that goofy ballad of yours that you brought back from England. What a guy that was. You mean Higgins? Yeah, I don't see him around. Where is he? Oh, it's his night off, so he took my girl to the movies. Your girl? Kenny, how can you be so dopey as to let your ballad take your girl to the movies? Oh, that's all right. Tomorrow night, he's taking me. I thought that was gonna be a bop.  Not me. Why not? Well, every time I tell him he's fired, he gives me a spanking. Well, that's the worst yet. You need a ballot. Like, oh, hello, Phil. Hiya, man. What are you throwing around tonight? Oh, nothing, nothing. Say, Phil, Don and I were talking about last week's show. We got some pretty nice comments. Did you hear anything? Well, Maurice, my hairdresser, loved it. Say, that's... that's intriguing, isn't it? Well, I'll tell you one thing, Phil. The newspapers were grand, it was simply wonderful. They sure were every one of them. Did you see that swell right up we got in the bartender's gazette? The bartender's gazette? Well, well, what do they think of it? They gave us three Mickey's. Mickey's? And I don't mean Rooney's. Well, that was nice of them, but that I'd rather have one in print than in a glass, you know? Oh, hello, Mary. Hello, Jack. Say, how do you feel after last night? Oh, I'm all right. Why? Well, don't your legs feel kind of stiff? No, no, of course not. Where were you last night, Jack? Oh, Mary and I went to the ice carnival here at the Pacific Auditorium. It was a great show. And afterwards, we went skating ourselves. Boy, did we have fun. I'll say. Can you skate, Jack? Can I?  Now, I haven't been on ice skates in over 10 years. Yet the minute I got on them... Down you went. Well, naturally, my ankles were a little weak. What do you expect after 10 years? But, Jack, for a fella that's as much out of condition as you are, you shouldn't even try it. Look, Phil, that's just why I did it. I think skating is great exercise. It's marvelous for you. Well, I like it even better than horseback riding. You could have used a saddle last night. All right, all right. Don't exaggerate.  Oh, sure. Everybody was there. Joan Crawford, Eddie Cantor, Eddie Lamar. Oh, a whole flock of them. Oh, boy, Jack, do you know Joan Crawford and Eddie Lamar? Do I? I call them Joan and Eddie. That means anything. Don't let your neck with them. Well, Kenny, I didn't get that fresh. But if you want to know something, I helped Eddie Lamar on with her skates, and then I went all around the rink with her. Did Jack really do that, Mary? He had to. He got his fingers caught in the straps. Well, it was fun anyway. Say, Jack. What? Tell him about that trick you did jumping over the three barrels. Now, wait a minute. Don't try to be funny. What was it, Mary?  Now, listen, Mary. Go on, Mary. So he put three barrels together on the ice, and when he went to jump over them... What happened? His suspenders broke. His suspenders broke. That's all. His suspenders broke, huh? I bet the house came down. That wasn't all. Well, what of it? I got over the barrels, didn't I? And then when Jack started to do a figure eight... Mary, now let's drop the whole thing. Skating barrels and everything. About time for your song, Kenny. What are you going to sing? I'm going to sing, so help me. And you know, Jack, I don't think that accident of yours was a bit funny. You might have got hurt. Well, certainly. I might have broken my neck. That's right. Oh, go ahead and sing. And listen, Mary, I want to tell you something. If you go down there... With every word I say you seem to doubt me. I don't know where I stand from day to day. Heart demands I tell you this about me. I love you. What more can I say? May I never see the moon? Never see the stars close by. So help me if I don't love you. Oh, help me. May I never know a breath of spring? May I never hear the birds that sing? So help me if I don't love you. And if I lie in rain to fall from heaven And glide each day with its teeming Night should never bring sleep with its dreaming. May I never see the sight of you? And without you, what am I to do? So help me. I was so helped me sung by Kenny Baker and Kenny, I don't have to tell you that it was very good. No, I know. I know you know. I know Jack knows you know. Cease children, lest we get into a routine. And now, ladies and gentlemen, as we announced last week, tonight, we are going to... Hey, wait a minute, where's Rochester? Here I am, boss. Well, I'm glad you're here. Now look, Rochester, the reason I sent for you is we're short of actors, and I want you to be in our play tonight. Now, here's your part. Go over in the corner and get familiar with it. Okay. Say, boss. Yes. I don't want to be mercenary, but do I get any additional stipend for my efforts? What's that? Dog gone. As soon as I mention money, you get deep. Look, Rochester, stop complaining. You're getting enough from me already. I am? Yes.  Never mind. Now go over in the corner and study your part, will you? Yes, sir. And now, ladies and gentlemen, as we announced last week, for our feature attraction tonight, we are going to offer our version of Metro-Gowan mayor's current film success, Yellowjack. Thank you. A dramatization of the struggle against yellow fever during the Spanish-American war. I will play the part of Dr. Benny of the United States Medical Corps, a fearless scientist in the cause of humanity. Mary Livingston will play the part of Miss Blake, my nurse, as portrayed on the screen by lovely Virginia Bruce. What a girl. Virginia Bruce. Gee, she's beautiful. Yeah. Well, let's get on with the play. Phil Harris will play the part of that dashing young soldier, Sergeant O'Harris. Hey, Jack, am I going to handle the love interest? No, Phil. All you're going to do is catch yellow fever. Can I catch it from a blonde? Definitely not. Now Kenny will play the part of Private O'Baker, as smart a soldier has ever threw a hand grenade and forgot to let go. Do I always have to be a private? Why can't I be a general? Because you don't know enough to come in out of the shrapnel. Oh, yes. Now Don Wilson will play the part of my associate, Dr. O'Wilson. As capable a surgeon has ever operated on a banana to embellish a dish of jello. Well, well done. You certainly reached for that. No wonder our sponsor always sends you the best Christmas present. Oh, I don't know. You don't do so bad yourself. He's right, Jack. Last year our sponsor sent you a beautiful gift. Beautiful gift? How often do I use an egg beater? Maybe once in a blue moon. Well anyway, Rochester, my butler, at no increase in salary will play the part of Private Ban Jones of the United States Army. That's me as fast a soldier's ever 100-yard dash for a bullet. Rochester, we don't want any cowards in this army. Well, somebody's got to pick up the brave ones. You've got something there.  Man, you're looking right through me. All right, that's enough. And now, folks, our play Yellowjack will go on immediately after the next number. What's it going to be, Phil? I don't know. The boys have a surprise for me. Oh, this ought to be rich. Play, Mr. Leader Man. Play. The surprise number played by Phil Harris and his grab bag orchestra. Say, Phil, as long as you didn't know what the number was going to be, why were you standing in front of the band waving your baton? I was trying to mix them up. Well, congratulations, you did a marvelous job. And now, ladies and gentlemen, for our blast of the evening, Yellowjack, or Boy Meets Mosquito. The scene is the United States Army headquarters near the thriving little town of Rumba Center, Cuba, which is just three shakes in a wiggle from Havana. As the scene opens, we find Dr. Benny of the Medical Corps busy in his laboratory. There is a tense look on his face as he peers into his microscope. Curtain, Cayupa. Good heavens, what a stroke of luck. Oh, nurse, Miss Blake. What is it, Dr. Benny? I made a sensational discovery. Look in this microscope. It's the biggest germ I've ever seen. Here, look. That's your thumb. Darn it, and I've been studying it for a week. Oh, I'm so worried I don't know where I'm at. All our soldiers have yellow fever, and they're dying like flies, and I can't stop it. Well, I must get on with my work. Miss Blake, where's my hypodermic needle? In your arm. Well, take it out. You know it don't belong there. Yes, sir. Oh, Doctor, Doctor. Yes, Private Baker. I've just discovered another man with yellow fever. You did? Where is he? Right here. Hello, Mr. Blaney. That's my laundry man. Get him out of here. Oh, I have failed miserably. Where does this germ come from? What does it look like? What can I do? What time is it? No, I don't know. I tell you, I don't know. But this is too much. I'm going mad. Is that the phone? If it's not, we're both nuts. Hello? Yes? You have? I'll tell him right away. What is it, nurse? Dr.  They're waiting outside now. Well, show him in. Hurry. Yes, sir. Right this way, quacks. Good morning, Dr. Wilson. Good morning. Dr. Blaney, I want you to meet Dr. Nazarro, the famous authority on tropical diseases. Glad to know you, Doctor. Who's the dame? That's my nurse. You may go, Ms. Blake. We're about to hold a conference. Okay. I think I'll scram over to Ward C and grab a few pulses. Goodbye. Well, gentlemen, let's get down to business. Tell me, Dr. Nazarro, are you positive you've discovered the cause of yellow fever? Yes. At the much intensive research, I have discovered that the disease is carried by mosquitoes. Mosquitoes? Gazooks. You know, I had a hunch all along that it was mosquitoes. Why, Doctor, you told us it was elephants. Well, I was in their punchin'. Tell me, Doctor, how did you arrive at this conclusion? Well, to begin with, Dr. Benny, there are over 800 different varieties of mosquitoes. Well, slap me down and call me shorty. 800 different kinds. You know them all by name? Yes. First, there's the retenden sulfide, like a chint. Yes? Then there's the banchenpung in Flundern and the sanchen-flenderskirrter, to sonner. That's amazing. But possibly the most dangerous species of all is the banchenpung in den-den-den-den-den-den-den-den.  Now come to the point, Doctor. Which one of these mosquitoes carries the deadly germ of Yellowjack? It's the smallest one of all. A tiny insect called the stegomaya. The stegomaya? Oh, this is a very important doctor. Are you positive? I see, Frederick. I see. That's all I want to know. At last, Dr. Wilson, our problems are over. All we have to do now is find a stegomaya. But first, we must find out where we can get hold of one. That's right. They may be ticklish. Next, we must find a volunteer. I'll wait for that one, folks. Next, we must find a volunteer who is willing to expose himself to the bite of the deadly stegomaya. And then, gentlemen, we will have discovered the secret of Yellowjack. Calling all stegomayas. Calling all stegomayas. Report to the base hospital at once. Bring your stingers. That is all. Two days later, Dr. Benny's laboratory is filled with cages and cages of mosquitoes. The experiment is about to begin. Where? That's the last time I'm going to tell you. All I need is one man who will gamble with death. Hot humus, please. Yes, sir. Pardon me, Dr. Benny, but there's a group of soldiers outside, and there's a volunteer among them. What's the group of soldiers for? They're dragging the volunteer. Good. Send them all in at once. Come on. Attention, men.  One of you must step forward in order to be bitten by a stegomaya mosquito. It is a dangerous assignment, and you may not come out alive. Now, which one of you men will be the first to volunteer? Not me.  A coward? Shake, brother. Oh, men.   Shake, brother. Oh, men, men, please. It's good for the good of humanity. Now, who, who give his life for his country? Hmm. Well, that settles. Oh, no. How about you, Rochester? Will you enter that chamber and be bitten by a stegomaya? I wouldn't go in that room if I was a cat with only two down and seven to go. But what have you got to lose? You're not a married man. You have no wife, no children. No, but I got a future, and I'm going to use it up. This is terrible. Terrible. What are we going to do? Well, what about you, Dr. Benny? Why don't you volunteer? Me? Why? I would, Dr. Wilson, but I can't. I just started an antipurl necklace. Otherwise, I'd be glad to. Oh, Doctor, I'm disappointed in you. Don't let this experiment down. Be brave and let that mosquito bite you. Very well, Miss Blake. I will. Oh, no, Doctor. No, what am I saying? Don't do what I love you. You mustn't do it. All right, then. I won't.  What? And to think that I once loved you. Yes, just a second ago. Anyway, I'm not going. I've got all the important things to do. Why, Jack, you're yellow. Yes, you're yellow, Jack. Yellow Jack, yellow Jack, yellow Jack, yellow Jack, yellow Jack. Stop! And I'm yellow, Jack. Strawberry, raspberry, cherry. Stop it! I'll go. I'll go. It's for the advancement of civilization. civilization, and I must go through with it. Farewell, men. I may not come back alive. The following day, Dr. Benny has just entered the room where the poisonous stegomoya mosquitoes have in turn loose. He is wearing only a suit of armor. I am not. And the experiment begins. Well, where are they?  Let's get this over with. Oh, there they are. There they are. Gee, they got a mean look. There's one close to me. Go away. He's getting closer. Scat! Scat! Lucky I got this flypaper on my chest. Well, this baby means business, but I'll get him. Get away! Get away! Now I got that one. Gee, that's only three of them so far. Where are the rest of them are? Ah, here comes a whole band of them. Oh, boy, swing, you singers. Gee, look at them. Good heavens. Here comes a big one. I can't stand this. I know what I'll do. Here comes a big one. I know what I'll do. I'll hide in this Murphy bed. Move over, Murphy. He's coming closer. Hey, are you a stegomaya? I ain't car again. Get away. Get away. I can't stand this. Got you. Yes, but you had to use a machine gun to do it. And so, folks, I was stung by the deadly stegomaya. It caught yellow fever, and I lived to marry Miss Blake, my nurse. Oh, darling. Oh, dear. Oh, honey. She just went out with Sergeant Harris. Oh, well, I'm a hero anyway. Playboy. It's not every day in the week that you can discover something brand new and different to have for dessert, but tomorrow you can. Yes, sir, you can go straight to your nearest grocery store and find three new desserts. Three delicious new jello puddings, butterscotch, vanilla, and chocolate. And they're three of the most tempting desserts that you've tasted in a long time. For the rich with real homemade goodness, that butterscotch pudding is smooth and mellow with good old fashioned brown sugar, and it has a swell sort of glossy taffy color. It's easy to make, too, for all you do is add some milk, then cook till the mixture's thick and smooth. Then try jello vanilla pudding. It's real vanilla. No artificial flavoring. It's cream colored and delicate, a family dessert you'll all enjoy. And that prime favorite, jello chocolate pudding, as rich and tempting as the kind that mother used to make, but far quicker and easier. The simple directions are in every package, and the swell-eyed is to ask your grocer for three packages at a time. Jello butterscotch, vanilla, and chocolate puddings. This is the last number of the second program in the new Jello series, and we will be with you again next Sunday night at the same time. Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to announce that Sunday, October 16, an all-day carnival and garden party will be held on the New York World's fairground to enable the public to meet the stars of stage, screen, and radio in person for the benefit of the stage relief fund. And tomorrow night, Al Pearson, his gang, will begin a new series of broadcasts over most of these stations. You can see your local paper for the time. Be sure to listen in.  In fact, they did not sting. Hello, Georgine Levinson. Good night, folks. J-T-L-L-O And we'll see you tomorrow night over most of these same stations for Al Pearson, his gang. Check your local paper for the time and station. The pocket full of dreams is from the pictures sitting in the center. Kenny Baker appears on the Jello program through courtesy of Mervin Leroy Productions. This is a nice little broadcasting company.
