Complete waste of money. Democrats love to spend other people’s money especially on feel good programs that employ pretty much unemployable people. Hawaii should have realized what leading Epidemiologists we’re saying almost two years ago about learning to live with COVID instead of instrusive and draconian measures that imposed psychological implications on it’s population that will likely take years to recover from.
I remain grateful that the state prioritized our health, and locked down, and controlled community spread in the early days when we had the chance to. I also thank my neighbors for masking up. We have only one hospital on Maui an a high number of Kupuna per capita. If Covid had been allowed to spread unchecked, as it was in Florida, we would have lost much more than jobs. It was unpopular with a lot of people, but I believe you can’t have a healthy economy without a health population.
“According to its final Report Card on the States Responses to Covid-19”, “on the failing side, the five worst jurisdictions were NJ, D.C., NY, NM and California”, all with Lock-downs, a Mandates and deadly results for their citizens. “The 5 States with the best outcomes are Utah, Nebraska, Vermont, Montana and Florida”. The Report measured Health outcomes, Economic performance and Education.
sad thing is they could have used all of that money to help house native hawaiian…seems like all governments and states wasted a lot of tax dollars on this scary virus garbage. that money our tax dollars could have been used for better things …real infrastructure …
Mahalo
If Hawaii had kept the monitors then what would State Senator Wakai propose to do when someone arrives with a fever, especially when it may not be COVID. .. Would any of these be possibilities, quarantine, or refuse admittance, or deport foreign travelers ?
Go to China and find out.
Aloha and Mahalo for bringing this to our attention. This explains a lot.
The state has reported that just 4% of total Covid cases were travel-related, while just 1% of the cases were associated with out-of-state travelers. The great majority of cases were community spread.
Meaning the Hawaii State and Federal Governments spent taxpayer funds like drunken sailor (apologies to all sailors).
Hahaha… what a joke
