If the overwhelming majority of cases are linked to mainland travel. Shouldn’t locals who are traveling to the mainland be vaccinated just as soon as Kapuna to protect Kapuna?
It is not that simple. This is not chocolate milkshake they are taking. Just to make the stomach ooz and get a filling. The vaccine has side effects. And it only works on people if they already had the virus. Taking when no medicine is needed could work for the worse. And useless attempt too. They are looking at herd immunity. Immune does not mean a vaccine will make it that way. They have to be that way. Community.
Watch out for those Jewish space lasers, Vamp, and those liberals drinking the blood of aborted babies in basements in New York.
2 active cases! Please open up and let people with negative tests avoid the resort bubble! Please let property owners quarantine 3 days in their own homes!
TWO active cases and we are still putting good people out of business!!!
SHAMEFULL!!!
I understand the safe travels program has been highly successful for the state of Hawaii. Employment has made a dramatic come back on most of the Islands. Will Kauai rejoin the program?
Death rate is lower than the common flu. People should be prosecuted for this mischief properganda. And the ignorant ones should be ashamed of themselves.
