Disappointment

The 24 Hour Fitness® location in town did not reopen today. There’s no telling when it will reopen. There’s no notice, nothing on the Web site or social media, and the “app” only indicates when a particular location is physically open. There’s absolutely no communication.

However, the gym location in Pearl City is open and has been open for the past two months. Equipment was moved into the covered parking area, so members could technically work out outdoors as per “Tier 1” requirements. There is the likelihood that only one location will remain open until “Tier 4,” which may not occur until late next year. “Tier 2” is a very precarious state and could be downgraded immediately if the “super-duper corona” 7-day moving average of infections increases. Then, all gyms would close yet again.

The daily overseas arrivals have decreased over the past few days. There were apparently a lot of problems with the Safe Travels site in addition to the total confusion about the “super-duper corona” pre-travel test requirement. About 20% of visitors experienced problems and long delays upon uploading test results. No doubt, travelers expressed their discontent on social media and by word-of-mouth. Lots of vacation cancellations probably materialized. Well, what else could be expected from a planned “clusterfuck”?
