A nightmare-inducing event and more.

So are straight jackets kept in the overhead bins these days ? Doubtful flight crew could/would administer knock out drops ! Any clue how the agitated person was actually subdued ? Thank goodness there was someone on-board to help.
Hi Marsha.
Always good to hear from you. We did not hear about how the passenger was subdued but it seems that tape is used most of the time as far as we are hearing.
Aloha.
Aloha Beat Of Hawaii!
As this just happened, I don’t think you would have reported on it yet. A mainland visitor to Kauai with a negative Covid-19 test, took the 2nd test 3 days later and ended up positive for Covid-19.I watched Mayor Kawakami’s Kauai.gov video 10/30/2020 where he reports on this, as well as a physician. The Doctor states that it can take up to 14 days after being exposed to Covid-19 for the virus to test positive in a Covid test, & she recommends getting that 2nd test to be sure you’re virus free while in Hawaii. The Mayor said the problem with that is many visitors are not here that long. Sadly, only days after our 1st group of visitors allowed in with a pre-travel test, Kauai island is experiencing the highest numbers since the Pandemic began!! I wrote the Mayor asking his opinion of mandatory testing 3 days after arrival. I dont know how they could enforce this, or if its even possible, but imagine now the contact tracing they are going to have to be doing if he is your typical visitor; they hit Costco, stocking up, hit Walmart, several bars & restaurants, several beaches and places of interest, as well as the people on the plane with him. What a nightmare for him and the residents/essential workers that may have been in contact with him. What does Beat of Hawaii think of double testing?
Mahalo nui loa!
Hi Erin.
Thanks for asking. It is critical to both keep tourism open and things as safe as possible with our limited medical infrastructure. To the degree that helps, then it would seem beneficial. Given some time, and more available tests, that should help here.
Aloha.
