So far it’s still a personal choice if you wear a mask. But here’s why that may change soon.

Healthy people wearing masks is just ridiculous. Sick people staying home until they are well? Hmm, there’s a option!
We just returned from Hawaii . We are in our 70’s so we double boosted and quarantined weeks before we left home. We wore masks at the airports and mostly on the planes. We wore masks Almost everywhere in Hawaii except open air areas.WE felt great while we were on Island , but a day, or 2 after we returned home we felt sick and, as a precaution we tested and both tested positive for COVID.
As experts have said all along the vaccines do not protect from getting the virus, just help prevent from serious illness. So they worked. I feel like I have a cold, but am isolating. I have friends on the Island who got very sick from COVID. Very few people, both residents and visitors wore masks.
Wear an N95 on planes, it’s likely the place you picked up C19
From reading the comments it looks like the “It’s All About Me” aren’t willing to look out for the betterment of all and doing what they need to do in order to travel to the beautiful Hawaiian islands.
I guess 1 million+ loses doesn’t count towards trying. Guidelines and rules are a small price to pay in order to experience this great world.
Aloha!
Absolutely, thank you Bob!
In the past 30 days all 28 members of our family from a 1 year old to 88 year old great grandmother have caught covid and recovered within 4 to 6 days. Half were vax’d half not.
So go back to masking cause everyone is catching a cold?
Over 80 percent of all ICU covid patients were and are obese.
You notice that they don’t talk about how many ventilators they’re available. Reason, ventilators have cause more harm than good when treating covid.
Ignorance is not helpful,
Two things
1. Over 80 percent of all ICU covid patients were and are obese. This is just flat out False. I have researched and while yes some are the vast majority are not.
You notice that they don’t talk about how many ventilators they’re available. Reason, ventilators have cause more harm than good when treating covid. Richard. Do you know When they use ventilators? When its the last option to keep you alive. Facts please find some
Gotta love those who have difficulty understanding that asking for masks in indoor spaces and large gatherings is nothing more than loving your neighbor as yourself. Or have all those challenged by common sense decided that there are no neighbors?
Guess playing the CV-19 lottery is the new Squid Game.
No – let people choose the level of risk they are comfortable with! We have to live with the virus at this point… everyone I know who is fully vaccinated are dropping like flies with Omicron… everyone else is fine.
Right so dont give a _ about your neighbor or friends who you infect because you choose not to wear a mask and share the virus. That is not how any of this works. The mask is to protect Others not yourself but they do provide great protection both ways if your using the right masks.
See this is the entire issue. SO many even you dont understand the mask is mainly to protect others. So if no one wears a mask we are sharing this _ with everyone. Some of the sharing happens when someone thinks they have a simple cold and dont get tested. Have the virus and share it with others. So I 100% disagree with you. Your not a doctor nor am I.
The vax doesn’t work, the booster don’t prevent from catching covid, I know several people whom are vaxed and double boostered and are still recovering on day 12 of the start of their illness. They are obese, diabetic, smokers and eat crappy.
Perhaps the Governor should read the studies on masks and how ineffective they are unless it is a tight fitting N95 mask before he issues anymore mandates.
Yeah, right because they masking, distancing, and vaccines worked so great the last go round. So will it be another 2 years to smooth the curve again!?
Not wearing a mask!
So the Mayor came out with this statement on Twitter a few hours after that press conference:
“My administration is not considering the reinstatement of any coronavirus restrictions at this time, including mask mandates. We will always work with our partners in the healthcare industry to consider all possible solutions to any situation that warrants a response.”
He said as much at the Spotlight show after he initially said something about reimposing mask mandates. I get the feeling that many are taking the first statement to be the truth and not the follow-up statements that he has made. I don’t think they are going to reimplement mandates unless other cities and states do, first. Philadelphia PA tried and one weak later pulled it.
Stan,
This is Hawaii not PA. Hawaii is 2800 miles from the nearest USA mainland. Political pressure to not put mandates in place from money makers in Hawaii and elsewhere is intense. I for one will not be taking any chances. My daughter just had covid. With masks, social distancing non stop cleaning of all high touch surfaces my best friend and I have managed to get her back to health and not catch it ourselves. I understand your not taking a stand here either way just pointing out what the mayor said later but being a small series of islands in the middle of the pacific ocean they cannot treat it like mainland usa
