When a curfew goes into effect each night for a county in Hawaii, the mayor gets bored -- and posts videos on social media. And his constituents? They’re entertained by his dance moves, tutorials and serious commentary.
HONOLULU — When a curfew goes into effect each night for one county in Hawaii, the mayor gets bored -- and posts videos on social media.“Our Mayor is bettah than yours!!” one woman commented, responding to Kauai Mayor Derek Kawakami’s stiff but earnest version of the Renegade to the rap song “Lottery,” one of the most popular dances on social media.
The videos, the 42-year-old mayor explains on Facebook, are meant to “break the boredom together as a community.” And they seem to have succeeded. Kawakami also uses his videos for some serious commentary, including demonstrating the proper way to remove disposable gloves, which he’s seen left behind in shopping carts and baskets.“We no leave our trash for somebody else pick up,” he says in Pidgin, Hawaii’s creole language that he slips in and out of easily, reflecting his island roots.“I LOVE all your postings!” a woman commented on a video.
For most people, the coronavirus causes mild or moderate symptoms, such as fever and cough that clear up in two to three weeks. For some, especially older adults and people with existing health problems, it can cause more severe illness, including pneumonia, and death. The vast majority of people recover.
