Are there any ideas or thoughts what will happen at the end of April 2020?
Gov. Ige is my least favorite person right now.
If he would have at least said, "On doctor's orders, I'm quarantining everyone," maybe my travel insurance would kick in.

This is the thing that is irritating me. Gov. Ige is not ordering hotel closures because that would mean the hotels would have to cancel and refund money. By doing things like this 14 day quarantine and “asking” tourists to stay home, it means no travel insurance will cover and no businesses have to refund money. Then the tourists are painted as greedy by the locals because they keep showing up. We have a trip mid April, and have already been told by multiple entities we booked with that they will not refund money spent. Travel insurance will not cover because there has been no ordered closure.
In looking at a policy I currently have, here are some other reasons your insurance would pay out:The only way the travel insurers will pay for anything related to COVID-19 is if you come down with it (unless you have cancel for any reason insurance). Then the medical coverages would apply.

They will also pay if your flight is cancelled.
I didn't mean to post that. I realized after I had started my post wasn't that the travel insurance would pay if the flight was cancelled, but that the airline (might depend on which airline) would refund if they cancelled the flight. If you cancel, in most cases, you'll just get a travel credit.I think this is dependent on policy. The policy I have from Marriott doesn't appear to include this coverage unless it's a Strike or the air carrier ceases operations and becomes insolvent.
Confused here. Why would your travel insurance kick in if you fly to Seattle?I'm tempted to fly to Seattle just so I can have my travel insurance kick in. I've got 66 days before my trip. Chance are it will likely spread and a majority will get it before we leave on our trip.

Sounds like you would have to be sick, not just quarantined. Do you really want to get COVID-19 just so your insurance will kick in?Because then I would have to be quarantined. Maybe it'd be better if I fly to New York.
From Travelex:
To be eligible for Trip Cancellation/Interruption coverage one of the following must occur while your coverage is in effect:
- you or your Traveling Companion would need to be sick as diagnosed by a physician and unfit for travel (which could include contracting the coronavirus, and as a result being physically quarantined).

What about visitors that are already in Hawaii?
I know we have some tug members there. It’s probably safer to stay than to fly back to the mainland. They are going to quarantine people on incoming flights, what about pilots and stewardess. What about outbound flights so visitors that arrived before the quarantine can depart.
