Talk about over reacting. The “science experts” all say that Omicron is a weak variant with mild symptoms. Viruses don’t want to kill the host so they mutate in to new weaker strains that can be spread easily but are completely survivable, you know, like the common cold. We leave our house by 3:30 AM CT for our 4 leg flight that arrives in Kona @6PM PT. No way will a 24 hour test be possible. We are fully vaccinated w/booster. Once again, punish the visitor, not those responsible for the spread.
Who is responsible for the spread?
I am so OVER all this crap. I had Covid last December. I recently had the antibody test (natural immunity) and I tested positive for Covid antibodies, almost a year after having the virus. Our government, and Hawaii totally ignores those of us that have natural immunity and still wants us to take the ‘jab’ even though it doesn’t work and you can still get, and spread, Covid. I own 3 timeshares, 2 on the Big Island and 1 on Kauai that I have not be able to use since this started.
Stop spreading lies. The vaccines work very well and prevent almost all severe illness and death. And yes, you still need it if you had Covid already. Also, just because you have some antibodies doesn’t mean you’re fully protected. Antibody levels wane with time. If you cared about other people, you’d get the vaccine. Why can’t you go to your time share? You can get tested and go without quarantine. It’s not that hard. I did it many times before the vaccine exemption in July.
JasonG,
We’ve got to stop accusing each other of lies.
The reason everything is so confused is because info has often been contradictory and nonsensical. The Lancet and the CDC have published studies showing that the vaccinated can transmit similar viral loads to the unvaccinated. npr.org/sections/coronavirus-live-updates/2021/07/30/1022867219/cdc-study-provincetown-delta-vaccinated-breakthrough-mask-guidance
This really concerns me from a completely selfish standpoint! We are flying to Maui in 3 days. We are fully vaccinated, but the 6-month mark from vaccinate occurs while we are in Hawaii. If they do change to require a booster within 6 months, or require testing for vaccinated persons, how many days notice will they give?
I appreciate Hawaii doing such thoughtful work in their attempt to keep locals and visitors safe and healthy. For those whose comments are sarcastic and nasty, I am certain they would not be happy if they contracted Covid while here!
Exactly. Hawaii is absolutely ridiculous. Their economy will continue to decline. So sad. And what about older people who have never used the interne?
I use to go to hawaii every year for a week or 2. My dad and other relatives a month. They wont go anymore because they are in their mid 70’s and early 80’s all vaccinated but said it’s to confusing. They still have flip phones never used internet. So sad.
Not sure about Omicron however,on Maui we surely did get very wet.
Aloha Guys
