I don’t care what they say with potential for people to be coughing and such around me on my first flight back to the mainland since COVID and since leaving the mainland really 3 years ago I’m not taking any chances I’m going to wear my mask anyway not just for my protection but the protection of others which we seem to have forgotten as a country what that means
aloha! SWA just announced: No more Mask!
Masks don’t work. Read the disclaimer on the box. If you’re scared, wear a respirator.
wow! The only think I know for sure is I want a Dr or scientist to tell me it’s ok to not wear a mask (at 73) – not a politician or a corporation. Until then…masked up on the plane and even in the store on Maui.
Clear as mud. Typical confusion emanating from this Administration. I predict this will add unruly passengers on airplanes, as TSA says you don’t need masks, and airlines, e.g., HA, say you do.
Clear as mud but its NOT the administration its a politically motivated judge. Get your facts straight. CDC should be in charge of this not a politically appointed judge
Bad news, Paul C. All federal judges are political appointees. Every last one of them. From the District Court level to the SCOTUS.
Worse news, Paul C. The CDC is not an elected body who has authority to pass laws. However, there is this body of elected officials who do have that authority. They are called Congress. Congress has had over two years to pass whatever mask laws. They have not done this. they still can. Why don’t they Paul C? Dems control house, senate and executive branch.
Individual airports, which are normally owned/managed by a state/city or other local entity, can continue having a mask mandate, if they like. So can individual airlines, just like any other private business. I expect airports located in west coast, northeast and Hawaii will keep mask mandates, whereas flyover and southern state airports will not.
Airlines are between the proverbial rock and hard place. They will piss off at least half their customers/employees either way. I personally would choose an airline that did not require mask theater over one that does, but I’m sure others will feel the exact opposite.
It looks like the tsa will not longer require and airlines are dropping mask immediately look out for Hawaiian to drop theirs also.
I thought this was an “Pandemic of the unvaccinated?” I have met so many people who have had the shots and 2 boosters who still got covid, some of them 2 and 3 times. If people wanna wear a mask, let them, if not, let them. This is America and we can actually be in charge of our own lives. I’m sick and tired of our government telling us what to do.
The majority or the only people I hear getting infected with Covid-19 these days are the Vaccinated. The data shows the more shots you’ve had, the higher the chances of being infected with Covid (recent data shows fully vaccinated 18-80 years old are 4X as likely to be infected with Covid as the unvaccinated). Why is it that only or the majority of people becoming infected with Covid (and are getting sick too) are vaccinated, I thought that the vaccines were supposed to reduce chances of being infected? Doesn’t seem to be going that way…based on the data, and based on real life events. And I agree, it should be up to each person’s own choice – want to get vaccinated/wear a mask? Good for you if it makes you feel safer!
stop spreading your lies because that is exactly what you are doing. I have many medical family and to a person they state 95% are unvaccinated and the only ones who are vaxed who are getting it have other co morbidities
Ok, so you are saying that my (vaccinated) Acupuncturist who had to cancel my appointment this past Monday because he (and his vaccinated wife) got Covid, is lying (he was sick with brutal aches he said, for a few days)?? Also, the receptionist at my Chiro’s office got Covid twice, since being vaccinated, and almost went hospital cause she was that ill. Friend’s sister and her whole family, who are all vaccinated, still sick with Covid, after a few weeks. My mom’s friend’s boyfriend was just sick with Covid, vaccinated also. Brother’s girlfriend’s dad got Covid, fully vaccinated. Best friend’s sis and her GF got Covid, also vaccinated. That’s 10 people I know who got Covid, all vaccinated. But, they’re all lies according to you!
what I am saying is anyone can claim that without any actual proof. I apologize for my lie comment. I have just heard this so often and my medical family at least here and in california in their experiences has not been vaccinated being hospitalized.
How many actually were hospitalized? The vaccine doesnt prevent one from getting it rather keeps people from dying and being hospitalized for the most part. There are always break thru cases with all vaccines
Sure, anyone can make stuff up, if anyone can make stuff up, then the media/government/CDC/NIH/FDA/laid-off scientists, they can all make stuff up too. It’s possible on both sides of the equation. So how do we know what is true? Base it on real life events. I do not believe anyone went to the hospital even though they had covid, however, the problem is all the focus is on covid. Look at the UK official Gov’t data by the ONS showing all non-covid deaths: example is week may 14, 2021: 578 unvaccinated died, 4,626 vaccinated (2 doses) died, or 4x excess deaths for vax grou. Why 8x the deaths in the vax group when population was same about 14.4 Million people. And only 19 unvax died of covid in that same week (and 18 vax died of covid).
Remaining from above. So 4k excess deaths in the vaccinated group and only 19 people unvaccinated people died of covid; that is 210x more deaths in the people who took the vaccine to save themselves from covid that died shortly after taking the “cure”; 4k excess deaths in that same week from taking the vaccine when only 19 people died that didnt take the “cure”? Does that sound like we are saving lives, apparently more people are dying from the cure than the actual disease, according to official UK government data, from the Office for National Statistics.
all lies and you damn well know it. Disinformation and lies coming back to twitter soon I am sure. This is the very reason so many have died.
Vax or No Vax, we can all spread the virus…… Ridiculous that people do not realize that. If the masks truly Work, breathing it out or taking it in, then awesome! Let Americans be free to choose to wear one or not. Pretty freaking simple if you ask me!
Yep freedom to die. Freedom to spread the virus unfettered. No you don’t get to run around murdering people and you should keep your virus to yourself. But your the same one that would scream I have a right to jump off this cliff even though its dangerous because well freedom.
Why am I not surprised that there is no response from the government of Hawaii? I thought this was an “Pandemic of the unvaccinated?” I have met so many people who have had the shots and 2 boosters who still got covid, some of them 2 and 3 times. If people wanna wear a mask, let them, if not, let them. This is America and we can actually be in charge of our own lives. I’m sick and tired of our government telling us what to do.
The Federal Judge has it correct. It’s time to stop the nonsense of mask mandates. The CDC can recommend all it wants, but a recommendation is not a mandate. I enter a lot of retail stores here in Ohio that still have signs that they recommend masks, but will not enforce them. That’s fine, if you want to wear a mask, by all means do so, but don’t tell me to if I don’t want to. Hooray for the Judge!!!👏👏👏👏
Yep lets stop the nonsense that Cigarettes give you cancer too
How about lets throw off our seat belts and allow everyone to drive drunk. Yep all nonsense
Lets do away with all traffic laws they are nonsense too. Lets do away with laws about rape and murder and theft too. All just nonsense. As much nonsense as your comment is here about your supposed freedom.
