Please keep the mask indoors mandate.
There are still many unvaccinated.
And people traveling from mainland
can be a source of spread,having more exposures from airports ect.
Mask mandates will help prevent worse spread if a surge develops.
Mainland is loosening restrictions too early could at least wait 2 weeks.
It’s been 2 years and masks have done nothing to prevent the spread. Feel free to wear yours forever, I am done with the nonsense.
It’s been noted many times by reputable sources that most masks do notation stop the spread of Covid, so let’s just be honest and eliminate the mandated masks. If you want to wear one that should be your choice. If you don’t wear one that should be your choice to. Too many Government fingers in the pot!
“Mainland is loosening restrictions too early could at least wait 2 weeks.”
So many internet experts on here that know more than all the cities and states health experts know and are now eliminating or greatly reducing restrictions and mandates. Including more and more states and European countries.
Stop the nonsense. The vaccine/booster and masks don’t work.
I think what you mean Joe is it’s possible to still get Covid if you’re vaxed. True, but less likely. However, the people dying from Covid are primarily the unvaxed.
That data is just not true. The jab does nothing to limit you from getting Covid. And the real data shows that people are dying with covid not because of covid and the Jab has nothing to do with that.
Joe, just be aware that the anti vax argument has been consistently proven to be misinformation over and over again (no Bill Gates isn’t tracking the vaccinated). On the other hand the medical profession and professional medical researchers are pretty much unanimous in disagreeing with your perspective.
The anti vax movement has killed a lot of people.
The antivax, fact checkers, misinformation drama is the nice way to say just get the jab. Look at the data, look at the science, start with the ‘COVID-19: A Second Opinion’ panel. If you want to get the jab go for, take as much as you’d like. But don’t force it on everyone. Funny how this will all end when the federal money stops. Build your immune system to fight a virus, don’t take the jab that they will tell you the science behind in in 75 rs.
Joe, The time has come that everyone has made up their mind and we need to move on. America isn’t and shouldn’t be a place were everyone has to think the same. Protect yourself with a jab, live healthy and improve your chances or just hope for the best. It’s time to move on and respect that we all aren’t the same.
Joe – you are spot on. For those who are interested, the recording he is quoting is chaired by Senator Ron Johnson and has a panel of expert doctors. It is posted on Rumble – it is over 5 hours, we watched it over 2 nights. It is a real eye opener. With all the information coming out on these shots, we will not be getting them again (we got the initial 2 unfortunately). But as you said, each person needs to decide – talk to your doctor and do what is best for you.
Cynthia, those “expert Doctors” you are talking about are at odds with the vast majority of reputable Doctors and medical researchers….Ron Johnson even more so for all the misinformation he has spread. He’s simply playing to the source of were he thinks he can get the most votes. Lack of integrity.
JohnW why do you think they are at odds? Goes against the machine and Dr Fauci’s. Look at the data and facts they are showing and make your own educated decision. Not just because they are at odds.
Actually Joe you are partially correct, the people dying from Covid that are vaccinated are often dying of other issues, they just had Covid. It didn’t kill them…. The people that are dying of Covid are the unvaccinated.
It prevents you from getting seriously I’ll and requiring icu. Why is this so hard to understand ?
It’s amazing isn’t it, yet there are people that believe in Chemtrails, the election lie and believe it or not there are people that believe the earth is flat.
A lot of vulnerable people have been scammed. Sad.
Then let the individuals decide. An experimental jab that “may” limit how sick I am and who knows what it can cause or natural immunity? Leave it up to the people.
Aloha Rob & Jeff.
Mahalo for your continuous updates.
My sense is that some sort of ‘normality’ is approaching. If we all take personal precaution then we might get beyond COVID. Mind you, it’s only fair to say the darned thing hasn’t exactly gone away, but perhaps the new variants are not causing as much havoc. Stay watchful and be reasonably careful and, I trust, all will be well.
Keep safe and well yourselves.
Hi Michael.
Great to hear from you. Just thinking that is things return to normal, we all will be the regulars on that upcoming lhr-hnl route. A hui Hou.
Aloha.
Yikes! I don’t know how you’re able to keep up with all the latest in travel requirements and changes! But you do an amazing job and I thank you!! Covid truly is a novel virus and even this latest news is probably subject to change. Thanks also for your personal recommendations of getting boosted-good advice. Mahalo!
Hi Toni.
Thank you! Happy travels.
Aloha.
I’m hoping all of this mask and vaccination goes away as I have been coming to Maui every year since 2001. I call Maui my 2nd. Home . Its my favorite place to be.
If people are that paranoid Stay Home.
We’re in Big Island this week and Maui last week – having an amazing time, and we’re appreciating the masking requirements everywhere, which seem to be taken in stride by everyone — it’s just not a big deal to be compliant. The Safe Travels program was also no big deal, and truthfully it helped confirm our decision to go ahead with this trip. I hope it stays in place longer. We’ve received a lot of aloha here, and hope we’ve given some back!
Right around the time when primary elections about to start
They want those tourist dollars back.
Aloha,
I wish I could say what I want to here but I simply cannot and expect to further my lively hood.
Mahalo for sharing
That would be ridiculous!! People here need confirmation of full vaccination at a minimum
or we will see quick increases in Covid cases that will just put further pressures on the
Healthcare system and economy
When will you understand that vac and booster does not prevent civid or stop you from spreading it
When will you understand that the vaccination and booster keep you from dying and/or causing a severe over burden of our healthcare system and personnel. There are very few vaccinations that totally prevent a disease. Vaccination not only helps you from getting severely ill or dying but it also helps prevent the disease from mutating to a more dangerous and contagious strain. If the hospitals are full of unvaccinated Covid patients, they cannot treat other emergencies.
It’s the healthcare system. The more healthcare staff is infected, the fewer folks available for care. And for those with a number of comorbidities, it can be deadly and has been to people I know.
With due respect, you might want to look at Israel, who mass vax xed their population a couple months before others, & many have had 4 shots there. Their numbers are still jumping in mostly vaxxed citizens:
israelnationalnews.com/news/321674
CindyM: yes numbers are up in Israel but it is the 14% that are unvaccinated that are filling up the hospitals especially ICUs. Israel has had over 3 million cases but only 9337 deaths while the US has had over 77 million cases and 910,205 deaths. Vaccinations help keep you alive and out of the hospital, not from contracting Covid altogether. I am not absolutely sure about the number of unvaccinated in US, but I bet it is way over Israel’s 14%.
The healthcare system here on the Big Island is overwhelmed by those who refuse to defend themselves against the fork and spoon. Too much over-eating, high blood pressure, lack of exercise and general lack of self-control by the locals should be the next “mandate” to keep the hospitals from being “overburdened”. Let’s stop kidding ourselves…the drunk driving and poor diets shouldn’t be rewarded by our health care system. If the unvaxxed shouldn’t get healthcare neither should the foodblisters.
Vaccinations are a completely inappropriate treatment for airborne illnesses, that’s why there’s never been a cure for the common cold. What people should worry about is when are bioweapon labs going to be secured where thousands of viruses sit on shelves waiting to be released by governments that propose cures that violate every basic principle of Virology. How about #1 rule of Virology…. Never quarantine healthy people. 26 peer reviewed articles on masks and viruses ineffective
I’m beginning to see light at the end of the tunnel, hopefully all restrictions will end before summer. We plan to be in big island & Oahu in May. Thank you BOH for keeping us up to date with current safe travel requirements. I always check your site before I plan for travel to HI.
Hi Ina.
Thanks. We hope that is true and that you’ll have a great time on your vacation.
Aloha.
I was gifted a trip to Hawaii for my 60th birthday by our 4 children. We have had to cxl the trip three times. The last was the first week in Jan we lost over $500 from one of the airbnb spots. We followed all the rules, I’m vaxed but my wife had covid in September and had the test however could not get on the flight because she did not get the results until the 69th hour. With no flights available we cxled. Hope you all will cut all restrictions.
