Any good news on car rentals? Coming in July
Seems like alot of people find great inconvienience in wearing a mask… I like the fact that most people in Hawaii Still take it seriously! I feel Way safer in Hawaii than florida or “on the strip” in Vegas. JUry is stillout on vaccine efficacy and why is’nt everyone tested before boarding Vaccinated or not?! I have no problem with a mask, and unless you have to wear one at work for hours on end ,I say Quit complaining!!
If you are concerned for YOUR safety and believe masks are effective in protecting YOU, then I support your right to wear a mask. God Bless free will!
I think I’m going to pass on Hawaii for a while. Kauai was my favorite island but now they have made it so difficult to navigate the North Shore and is now even more expensive at an already very expensive place. I used to tell people that one of the things I like Hawaii is that it is Live and Let Live but recent changes prove otherwise.
Safe travels is pointless. You have people on an airplane for 7 plus hours who may or may not have covid. Those vaccinated can carry it but are not required to test. Those who are going to quarantine once they get to Hawaii are not required to test, so they could also possibly have it. And those who test 3 days prior could get a negative test but then contract the virus after they tested. If you know your idividual risk, and think a mask is best for you, wear a mask! Individual choice!
All the internet scientists on here better contact the Whitehouse and let them know that they better reverse the decision that was just now announced that masks are no longer required on the Whitehouse campus as of tomorrow!
They want to win the midterm elections. Starting with the upcoming primaries. That’s why they dropped the mandate. None of this has stopped anything. I wish it had, but facts are facts. Catching and spreading is unaffected by masks or vaccines.
I’m fine with the mask, but would like to see Safe Travels done away with now that the virus hospitalization rates have dropped.
I know people who planned events in other locations in the U.S. rather than Hawaii because they were concerned about getting a false positive just before departure and ruining the event.I will visit, but wouldn’t plan, or recommend an important event in Hawaii either.
That is one of the reasons we wint go to Hawaii yet. So we got and pay in full for a condo rental. And one of us come up with a false positive, and cant fly with the other one. Or has to be quarantined for 5 days. Forget that. We’ve both had it, survived it like a bed flu or a bad headache. Never had a problem since.
You are so fortunate to have such a good Governor. Boosters are waning. He’s right to wait until he’s fairly certain there’s no danger of another strain anytime soon. It’s not about my body my right but about other people as well. We’re all responsible for keeping each other healthy. If it means wearing a mask I’m unselfishly going to keep wearing it until we’re truly in the clear, not because I’m tired of it.
How great is it that he’s a leader, more than a politician.
I am responsible for my own healthy body, not someone’s 300 to 400 lb smokers or diabetic body. Its there choice yo be that way. And plus the smokers that are blowing smoke our way don’t care if they give me cancer from their second hand smoke. Plain and simple, take personal responsibility for your own healthy.
Kitty L I am so glad that you paid attention in class, how much did it cost you? Diabetes isn’t a “choice” that people make, in case you didn’t pay enough what a person eats Doesn’t Cause Diabetes! It’s a “Predisposition” and “Typically Hereditary” in people, not a Choice that Anyone would choose, much like many who contract Cancer!
15,000 – 60,000 people die every year in the USA from the flu – do you have a mask for that, should govt be as aggressive with that as with COVID?
He is strictly a politician and trying to exert his power.
Where is the science that proves that Covid can’t be spread when you are eating and drinking?
The vaccines and boosters don’t stop covid and everyone got it in January and was fine. I had it, my family had it in January, no vax, it passed quickly. Even Calif is dropping mask, the schools here in Calif are dropping masks. People are scared, but don’t need to be, unless you have health issues, then you can choose to wear a mask. I’m currently in Vegas walking the strip and in all casinos, and nobody is wearing them.
I don’t see where there is any confusion. Wear your mask inside. Its not that big a deal. Here in S. California we have dropped the mask mandate but I would say 80% of people inside are still wearing them. We wear them out of respect for the employees who have to wear them inside and because covid is not over yet. I went to Hawaii in December and it was no problem to get there, it was no problem to wear a mask indoors and nobody was wearing a mask outside on Oahu. Nothing was confusing.
