We're starting to lose control on O'ahu, I'm predicting a second lockdown if this continues, According to the LtGov we can only handle 1400 COVID ICU patients before we reach capacity.
Imagine all the people contaminated on the plane ride they shared with this family from Florida as they traveled from there to Hawaii. Each supermarket had to close and clean the whole place down exposed employees had to quarantine imagine the cost to these places. Think people especially kupuna will feel safe at those places now?
Two Kakaako bars are being exposed as hotspots, people who went there advised to get tested.
A Hawaiian Airlines training event was another major cluster here where a senior Los Angeles based attendant died after RETURNING HOME to LA. imagine that flight full of people. He spread it to two gyms here before he left.
Baboozes all
People don't care until the hammer comes down
and then everyone's a crybaby
poor parenting since the 70's
everyone pushes the limits like little kids until they are slapped which it never was due to generations after Dr. Spock
each generation progressively getting worse until post financial crisis

Dozens of COVID-19 patients have been hospitalized following numerous coronavirus outbreaks, including one in Kalihi among Pacific islanders living in large multigenerational households.
“We’ve seen dozens of people get sick. We’re only one order of magnitude away from losing complete control. If cases go from 500 to 5,000 in 14 days, it’ll be over,” Lt. Gov. Josh Green told the Honolulu Star-Advertiser, urging residents to remain vigilant about safety precautions to prevent the spread of the coronavirus. “There’s just more clusters all over the place. If the numbers don’t start decreasing, then we’re going back to very strict restrictions on gatherings in public places. Let’s hope we don’t have to get there.”
One such cluster includes at least 36 people who were infected at funeral events in the Pacific Islander community.
Thirteen cases of COVID-19 have been confirmed over the last few weeks in three of Hawaii’s largest public-housing projects for low-income residents: Mayor Wright Homes, Kalihi Valley Homes and Kuhio Park Terrace on Oahu.
Oahu bars would be forced to shut down for three weeks to allow the city time to “recalibrate” and come up with tighter regulations to curb the spread of COVID-19 under a revised guideline that Mayor Kirk Caldwell is seeking from Gov. David Ige.
>> Require face coverings both indoors and outdoors unless a person is alone or with immediate family members. Face coverings would not be required during water activities, but would be necessary in gyms.
>> Reduce the maximum amount of people allowed at a social gathering to no more than 10 nonfamily members. The current maximum is 50. The requirement would not be imposed for institutions already practicing social distancing such as churches and temples.
Oahu maybe be quarantined from the rest of Hawaii soon (Interisland travel)
Meanwhile on Kauai
The Department of Land and Natural Resources announced it will close Kauai’s Polihale State Park indefinitely, citing bad behavior of residents, with abuse, illegal gatherings and camping.
On a recent weekend more than 1,000 people camped at Polihale on Kauai’s west side, with only 80 legal permits, and several hundred parked trucks spanning the 2-mile long beach, DLNR said in a news release issued today. It also cites truck racing on the beach, driving through dunes containing Hawaiian burial sites and critically endangered plants; overuse with widespread defecation within the fragile dune system; and lack of social distancing
Hawaiian Air's cutting back staff 15%-25%
Just like after 2008 expect older grumpier flight attendants looking for a reason to kick you off the plane (especially minorities). Masks and COVID risk will be the new reason
