Behavioral changes on Hawaii flights and new health department data indicate Covid in Hawaii is a resurging problem.
I thought the US government had blocked people arriving from China?
People visiting the US from China are required to show a negative COVID-19 test result taken no more than 2 days before their flight departs.
Could people please do a little research?? World Wide Web is there for all of us. If you think a mask is protecting you wear it. If you want to know the truth look it up. This topic is really growing old.
I thought you weren’t going to post conspiracy theories BOH?
I don’t know what type of question you are putting in to get the result You want, but my question in the World Wide Web was “does wearing a mask protect you from Covid?” and I did not see any article that said that wearing a mask was useless, harmful or whatever other theory you wish they would say….the question is why?
Right, because you should believe everything you read on the internet? How about actually getting off the computer and actually talking to people in the medical field? It’s an amazing concept, I know.
Here’s the truth: Masks work.

Wearing a mask other than N95 is a false sense of security, and may contribute to adding to the spread.
I didn’t know that you can detect COVID in sewer water. Can anyone explain how that works?
Mask don’t work! Look at the science.unless it is a N95 worn properly, and then not 100%
What is 100% safe? Your meds?
Nothing in life is 100% except birth and death.
That and all the conspiracy wackos and internet doctors who act like they know more than trained medical professionals
Mask don’t work! Look at the science.
First of all, who determines what are conspiracy theories?? That conspicuous in its self.
I was curious of that also! Can “Beat of Hawaii” give us a example?? I never noticed that comment before on this site.
We traveled to Honolulu from the big island and while there were some on the plane with masks, the majority did not wear them (including us). However in Honolulu there was probably 30% of the people we saw walking around were wearing masks. We assume because there was a high number of asian travelers coming from parts of the world where mask wearing is more the norm.
Flew to Hawaii via Tokyo and Japanese flights you wear masks all time on flight. The one change that should be made is mandating KN95 or N95 and above. Masks are no big deal. If it rains we do not complain about wearing a coat or using an umbrella. Just common sense.
For those of you who are wondering, one can purchase N 95 masks on Amazon, for about 1 to 2 dollars each mask. They usually sell in boxes of 20. So obviously not as cheap as those other masks that just about everyone gets for nothing, but they do filter out the vast majority of virus particles when worn correctly. And spending a few dollars extra each a flight to protect yourself and others isn’t really a huge burden in my humble opinion.
Re: Wastewater testing (WBE). I didn’t know that COVID comes out of your body in urine or feces. Am I missing something here? I thought COVID was a respiratory disease. Please enlighten me.

Aloha.
Thanks, you learn something new everyday.
Certainly, be cultured out of your poop fact has been known for several years according to my Dr. Daughter that been in the front-line trenches with these patients from the beginning.
I just took a round trip from Lihue to HNL and back yesterday. I definitely noticed an uptick in masks worn, both on and off flights even a bit more than the week before when I was there. I was say about 40% wore masks on planes. I think all flight personnel had on masks. And it seemed more normal in stores and about town for some to wear mask and other’s not. Yep, I guess masks are back more as a norm than the short lived reprieve we had.
i’m a nurse and i’d like to remind everyone that this is an airborne virus. breathe it in, breathe it out. so wash your hands, don’t touch your face and wear a mask in high risk areas. bottom line, protect yourself and others. i’d also like to emphasize get the vaccine but that’s another can of worms.
