SHHH! That briefcase is EMPTY

More than six months since the introduction of the COVID-19 virus to Hawaii, the public is still being denied any useful information on the case reports and medical histories (properly anonymized, of course) of those whose deaths have been attributed to COVID-19. Keeping the public in the dark spreads unnecessary fear and discontent. Medical professionals and government authorities are all over the place with COVID-19. Even the same govt agency or top-level expert would often says today the opposite of what they were saying a couple of weeks ago. Of the people who died, how many died FROM the virus and how many died WITH the virus? Of the latter, what would have been their life expectancies without the virus? If you cannot figure this out, please give us the raw data, and we will try our best to draw our own conclusions.
