Amen. Keep Kauai away from the others.
I do agree that Kauai should not be used as a test site for mayor Caldwell but I do believe that Governor Ige, should stop all tourist travel to the hawaiian islands until we are clear and free of this. It just feels so unfair that we are on a stay at home order to stop the spread but yet gov.ige still allows tourist travel to the Hawaiian islands. Thank you.
You are right. It’s pointless to lock residents down and allow tourism to continue – especially since the small trickle of visitors isn’t enough to really help the economy, but definitely enough to spread this.
Please let me know when Kauai is open to tourism.

Hi Allie.
We most certainly will.
Aloha.
We own a house on Kauai and totally agree with all the suggestions and restrictions implemented by the mayor. Do not open to business and tourism too soon.
Your articles are so fun, helpful and well thought out. Thank you. I signed up because we have flights, cottage, car reserved for our Sept. trip to Kapaa, and I wanted to be up on all the latest. Since the vi rus hit I’ve used your newsletter as my main sourse of accurate information. I couldn’t agree more with your comments about Kauai being a “testing ground”. I’m a nurse and can’t believe how much crazy thinking is happening in the minds of our “leaders’. I’m glad the Lt. Gov. has a good head. Mahalo, Linda
Hi Linda.
Such a thoughtful comment. We really appreciate it.
Aloha.
We have been Guinea pigs for the GMO companies with their spraying. Two of my friends died of cancers and I became so ill with COPD that I had to come to Phoenix to the Mayo Clinic to stay alive. Now I am home quar antined as very high risk. I can never return to my home in Kauai. I leased it to a local family to help pay for my Arizona apartment. I feel like we are at the mercy of big business interests who don’t care if we live or die as long as they can maximize their profits on Kauai.
Aloha! My wife and I usually spend May and June on Kauai. We’re hunkered down at home near Phoenix looking forward to the re-opening of our home away from home. Too bad we don’t have reliable antibody tests that could be used as a barometer to determine relative safety. I think the end result of this will be like a nasty flu with a mortality of less than one percent.
Hi Loren.
Thanks.
Aloha.
“I think the end result of this will be like a nasty flu with a mortality of less than one percent.” If only that were true. In April, CO VID-19 was the leading cause of death in LA County (CA). The average number of daily deaths related to this in Los Angeles County is 44. In comparison, each day, five people die from influenza during flu season. This can and does cause blood clots, strokes, and abnormal heartbeat. It can damage all parts of the body including liver, kidneys, GI tract, lungs and brain. It is transmissible from people who have no symptoms. It is most definitely not just a nasty flu.
I lived on Kauai for six years and always loved the independent spirit of the people. We took great pride in that spirit. I still have a great love for the island and the local people of Kauai. Guinea pig, hell no.
Typical invaders american over the native hawaiians attitude again
Nothing new here
why not test your own Honolulu, Caldwell?
huh?
Aloha!
I’m a long time reader and first time commenter. I live in California and have been paying close attention to what is happening in your beautiful state. My husband and I were fortunate to spend our 30th anniversary on The Big Island this past February. It breaks our heart to know that so many locals have been without jobs for so long. I often wonder how nature is handling this “rest” period from us tourists. The Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco has seen coyotes wandering on it, and cougars have been seen more frequently in mountain towns.
Thank you for keeping us updated ! I always look forward to this in my inbox!
Aloha from Chico, Ca
Hi Carole.
