  1. Just read in the Hawaii Magazine email that visitors and residents returning to the islands do not need to fill out the Safe Travels Health Questionnaire prior to departure. Is that accurate? Where does a person check to see if they need to complete any paperwork and if mandatory testing for Covid would go into place beforehand? We leave for Maui in 40 days and want to be prepared as much as possible. We just hope our flights don’t get canceled. Mahalo!

  2. There seems to be a lot of experts in this string of messages. I myself, am not an expert on COVID. I chose to get vaccinated just in case it might save one life, I choose to wear a mask just in case it might save one life, I choose to social distance, just in case it might save one life. If you are an expert and absolutely know without a doubt on either side of this argument, then I applaud you for your stance. If you are like me and not an expert, then do what you think best and move on!

  3. Maybe people should be weighed before they get on a plane? No one seems to want to address the fact that 50% of our population is overweight or obese. Being overweight leads to numerous health issues hence “Underlying issues”. I’m a health resident whom has been traveling to and from my home on Kauai. There are several diseases and issues “Scientists” are finding on those of us whom have been vaccinated. I’m not getting a booster, and it won’t stop me from continuing my travels.

    1. I understand your concern. However, fat people don’t choose to be overweight. Their condition is often rooted in trauma and food can be comforting as in the term comfort food. You however have chosen not to be boosted posing a health threat to yourself and the people around you when you travel. The covid vaccines have shown to be less effective after 6-8 months. Please get boosted before your resistance wanes.

  4. I used to think of this as a deals site. Now I find well written news and commentary. It is really helpful. My worry is that omicron, being the most contagious virus ever known, is going to rip through us. 70 %of people who got it were double vaccinated in South Africa. It’s already on Oahu so I guess time will tell. I have over a 100 k in the air and I am seeing widespread mask fatigue and people who are sneaking mask removals etc. We need a vaccine mandate for flying!

  5. Please stop with the how should we end the freedom hundreds of thousands died for over a cold virus. Hardly anybody still believes all of this.

    This article could cost the author his or her credibility in a few years.

    1. No cold virus ever killed >800,000 Americans in a 21 month period. But don’t let the facts interfere.
