Goosestepping to Hell

As unbelievable as this may sound, the governor of Hawai’i abruptly announced that the floodgates of tourism will swing wide open on October 15th. The new “plan” (same as the old plan, as predicted in Notes) includes the faulty “super-duper corona” pre-testing requirement (i.e., documented negative result within 72 hours of arrival) and the useless Safe Travels “app” for all overseas arrivals. Otherwise, tourists will have to quarantine for 14 days under the “honor system.” Can anyone figure out which option the tourists will pick?

In the meantime, the entire island is still under full “lockdown” (except for the recent concession of solo activities at beaches and parks). The mayor of Honolulu is only expected to allow retail establishments to open next week. Otherwise, the reopening of other venues will occur “very, very slowly.” Thus, there will be a discriminatory “lockdown” in effect.

Tourists will essentially have more freedom than residents come October 15th. Very likely, the decision is intentional. Has there been any backlash? No, the faithful majority, all registered Democrats, will simply continue wearing their face masks and plastic face shields. They will mail in their ballots for the senile “empty suit.” And they will obey the orders of the local Fascist ... errr, Democrat leadership ... without question.

Addendum: The mayor will most likely accelerate the allowance of dining in restaurants, definitely before October 15th. Obviously, tourists are the main concern.

Miscellany: Several hours and of time were dedicated to downloading iOS 14 for the iPhone XR. At least three different free wireless hotspots were utilized to download the the whopping 2.7 GB update. The reason? The “lockdown” prohibits anyone from sitting or loitering anywhere.
