Gov. Ige and Lt Green are both politicians. Gov. Ige said “…there are currently no plans to shut down.” So the very next day is no longer “currently”, and he can change his mind and say / do whatever he wants. Based on the COVID-19 rates and hospital occupancy, I think shutdown is, unfortunately, inevitable. Very sad. And very, very avoidable.
I don’t know why y’all keep talking about number of ICU beds in HI. Where I am, we have a large medical center, and our number of beds in ICU is very limited as well. Still many here who refuse to get vaccinated. I’m fully vaccinated and will get booster when made available. I do not worry as much about getting sick as I did before the shots. It’s a simple thing and provides a level of safety, and peace of mind. HI residents are finding it easy to lock down the state because you have a body of water separating you from the mainland. Not so easy when people just get in their car and drive 30 minutes across a border. So what keeps us safe?!?!
Thanks to those for taking care of others. If only more people would get in line, it could help reduce everone’s risk.
Thx
So if we both have cdc vaccination cards, what else is required to travel to Oahu??? Supposed to leave September 10
Dear Jocelyn, you need to upload your cdc vaccine card to your Hawaii safe travel account, fill out health questionnaire 24 hours before flight I think it is. Have a safe, fun, & wonderful trip! I’ve postponed my Oahu trip until 2023. Be blessed 😇 psalms 91:11 & John 3:16
Thank you so much for all your helpful information!
This is the same disgraceful rhetoric that will continue. Why? Politically motivated. Even the CDC acknowledged that masks,are useless. That outdoor activities are essential. That our children need protection against the insanity going on in schools.
China gets auto chips. Russia gets pipeline. Taliban gets US arms and equipment. Cartels get open boarders. We get mandates, lockdowns, stupid inflation, hostage crises. HELLO. Someone PLEASE tell me you get this!!!
I understand the news to be very different than your portrayal. The sky is not falling. Aloha.
Better wake up. Make an effort and review New Zealand’s proactive policies.

This is not the place for political rants about foreign countries, borders and cartels.
And sorry, but outdoor activities and going unmasked is not going to keep your children safe.
CDC never said masks are – Useless !
I get it John. I promise you’re not alone.
How does Hawaii function at all with Green and Ige opposing each other? Aren’t they supposed to be a leadership team?
I feel bad for Governor Ige. For months everyone was furious that he pretty much shut the State of Hawaii down. Now they’re furious he won’t shut the State down. Get vaccinated people and let’s move on. That’s what we did with polio and thank God it was eradicated.
At a risk of beating the proverbial dead horse. Hawaii wants the tourists dollar but not the tourists. They don’t want us vaccinated, negative Covid tested individuals but they also won’t HIGHLY encourage their own citizens to get the shots. Somebody needs to make up their minds. None of us are spending all this money by coming to Hawaii to quarantine and spread a virus that we don’t have. As the saying goes, take care of your business at home before you worry about the neighbors. The shots may not be the answer but the certainly don’t hurt the spread!!
That isn’t entirely true. They have been strongly encouraging people here to get vaccinated, enough so that some residents have accused leadership of gaslighting by not giving tourists some of the blame.
If there is a major shortage of hospital beds, why not ask the president to do send the medical ship from San Diego to Pearl Harbor. That would help with the overflow.
Thank you so much for bringing this up! Everyone forgets that ships were in place for use at any time with the previous administration. Betting they are still available for any overage.
probably because they are already headed to Texas and Florida
If people don’t want to get vaccine and get covid..that is their choice why punish us that took vaccine..which even if got covid will be mild.
Ummm Fred. It’s really quite this simple, if you’re following the Scientific Data and actual Facts. 👇
Vaccinated or Not, you can still contract and spread this virus, and believe it or not you can still get very sick and Die, if your vaccinated, even though it may be a smaller percentage than someone who hasn’t been vaccinated. In the BIG picture no matter whether you’re vaccinated or not, you have a really high chance to survive this virus, (97%, and likely higher if you’re under age 65).
Like you said, It was your choice to take it, when it was right in the fine print that the vaccine had a good chance to help mitigate the affects, not prevent you from getting sick (or dying for that matter), even though that is what you were told early on by far too many media sources.
how many in your life are you willing to sacrifice? I have lost three personal friends who were all young and in good health and unvaccinated. You all keep spewing statistics just like during gun mass shootings these people are someones Mom dad son daughter friend etc. 620,000 US Citizens dead due to covid but you make it like its no big deal.
