Lockup

The first day of the new “lockdown” was surprisingly different than a few months ago. There were myriad people out and about everywhere. Traffic was pretty much the same as yesterday. And, many of the “non-essential” offices in town were open for business, in defiance of the “lockdown” mandate. People, even those “scared shitless” by “super-duper corona,” are apparently fed up with the bullshit. In Waikiki, myriad tourists were violating the mandated (read: “honor system”) quarantine. What a circus!

The State and City governments are teaming up to perform mass “super-duper corona” testing using the H-3 freeway next week. The entire freeway, both directions, will be used as a queue for test administration within the tunnels going through the Ko’olau mountain range. So far, all of the testing has been accomplished through drive-through venues. What about people who don’t own motor vehicles or don’t drive? The farce continues ad nauseam.

The day was pretty much spent doing nothing. A exploratory bus ride to Ala Moana Center and downtown was taken to observe the “lockdown.” A long chat with Randy, the contractor, and Austin ensued later in the afternoon. The workout at Mausoleum Gym was postponed to facilitate a haircut at Mausoleum Barbershop. Take-out dinner was courtesy Subway® at Ala Moana Center. Yeah, same ol’ “lockdown” shit.
