Aloha Rob and Jeff,
This will be an interesting program for returning residents.
I recently traveled to Tahiti – French Polynesia opened to the world on July 15th. They required a particular COVID test within three days of the flight and referred to two labs capable of providing the test in a timely manner. The cost was $125. I had the test on Tuesday at noon and had my results on Wednesday morning online. I printed the results, completed their online form, and took everything to the airport. All worked quite well. The ship required a test before boarding and provided a self test we used on the fourth day of our arrival. All three were negative.
It can be done. Perhaps using the Air Tahiti Nui website will show a protocal that has been working for several months.
Mahalo for all your amazing assistance to our Ohana,
Melissa
Hi Melissa.
Thanks for that and good to be in touch again.
Aloha.
Will visitors from the mainland be allowed to skip quarantine after Oct 15 if they get tested first on the mainland, fly to Oahu, then another island? Many flights from the mainland go thru Oahu first. This has not been made clear in any announcements I can find. Thanks!
Hi Jon.
That has not yet been specifically addressed. But certainly, it will be, and you should be able to go via Honolulu to a neighbor island without quarantine as long as you have been tested.
Aloha.
It would be great if the government would just admit to and release the facts of this virus because it seems to be the one and only entity people have all eyes and ears on.
Knowledge can give peace of mind;
1) for the majority of us our immune system will defeat the virus at its landing site of the nose or throat. That’s the MAJORITY of us.
2) Some men do have a harder time with this virus than women and children due to testosterone, as it seems to increase the number of ACE2 receptors that cells produce.
3) the number one way to prevent this virus from wreaking havoc on you, is your immune system. Unlike the flu, which kills our cells, this virus is not a cell killer so it responds better to our immune system; it will immediately trigger an immune attack. So, take your vitamins, eat right, wash your hands when necessary…and seriously….stop wearing the stupid masks. How is your immune system supposed to be strong when you are suppressing it from the good viruses and bacteria? I just don’t even know what else to say about masks, other than they are very counterintuitive.
4) most of the deaths were due to old age- over 75 and/or other factors. I can tell you from first hand experience, if someone has a comorbidity, the common cold can kill them. COVID is not novel in this regard.
So, those are some of the facts. We can not continue to live in fear. It is literally eroding America and our way of life unnecessarily. We have to start speaking up. We’re not children. We have voices. We make decisions for ourselves every single day and some are risky decisions, which we rarely think twice about. Like getting into our cars and driving to work or hopping on plane to go on vacation. At some point, we are going to have to speak up or we’re going to continue spin cycling in our heads and conversations.
