Better change the title of this thread to October. Ige has just made it official that the pre-travel testing program is bumped back to October 1.

134 cases today plus another fatality.

2020 for now. Seems to be one month at a time on Hawaii.

Forget about a Hawaii vacation until at least October as COVID-19 spike delays tourism reopening

Hawaii's planned Sept. 1 start date for allowing out-of-state visitors to bypass a 14-day quarantine has been delayed until October.

Glad I didn't plan on September.

At least I can call SFX tomorrow and test their cancellation policy. And then Hawaiian Airlines. I can't wait for life to go back to normal.

No social gatherings of more than 5 on Oahu. Same for at a table in a restaurant.

I'm glad they didn't go for a SIP and closure of business services. The new gatherings limitation is for 28 days. The daily counts for the last few days have been going down. I hope it continues, as we're in Honolulu now and hope to get a short respite after family care.

Cases are lumpy - this is guaranteed with any contact tracing system (potential contacts are identified and tested at the same time). And my understanding is that nearly half of the cases today were linked to a single jail.

I just hope they can get it under control with this 28 day closure, but it may already be in-the-wild on Oahu. My guess is we will see wild ups and downs for a bit.

Oh yes, I think is in the wild on Oahu. They had a SIP, according to my cousin, for about 2-3 months, April to June.

At the conference today, I believe it was Mayor Caldwell that said that cases are too high right now for contact tracing to be affective. They have 100 contact tracers and they could add more but it wouldn’t work with the high amount of cases that we have right now. That was the reason he gave for not spending more on contact tracing.

This means they didn’t sufficiently prepare. They’re not alone.

Yes, it’s going to take those four weeks of numbers to see where they will go from here. They still haven’t said what is the number of daily cases that they are comfortable with. So we’ll just have to wait and see.

So with all the restrictions on tourists the numbers are still going up. So obviously the tourists are not the source of the problem. You think Hawaii would welcome tourists that had negative tests.

But you have to admit jail provides an opportunity for great contact tracing.

Perhaps it is time to change thread title to October...

Do you still see September? I changed it yesterday.

Why would you want to be here now? Everything is closed and the pandemic is spreading. At least for Oahu.

I did see Sept - but now October.
TapaTalk seems delayed at times.
Hope you are well - Stay Safe.

Sky is orange here in Silicon Valley from surrounding fires.

Strange - I changed it around 6:00 pm yesterday. Hang in there!

We were scheduled for 3 weeks on Kauai. Island with smallest Covid issue. Cancelled everything - rental car (no big deal was not prepaid); airfare (credit to credit card); WM Points back into Account and shuffle made correct adjustments; and, Point at Poipu (all Points returned with no penalty but had to use by 12/31/20 So dropped into DEX and we have 5 years to use).

Especially if they originate from a location with a positive test rate of < 5%.
