Hawaii Governor David Ige encouraged potential tourists not to visit the islands amid a surge of coronavirus cases, saying it is "a risky time to be traveling right now."
"I encourage everyone to restrict and curtail travel to Hawaii," Ige said during a press conference on Monday. "It's not a good time to travel to the islands."
Ige said that travel should be limited to "essential business activities only." Visitors, he said, will not have the "typical" vacation that they would expect, as restaurant capacity has been restricted and rental vehicles are limited.
Ige's warning comes as Hawaii continues to see a rise in COVID cases and hospitals have reached capacity. There have been more than 9,300 new cases in the past two weeks, according to the state's health department. The majority of new cases have been in Oahu, one of the most popular Hawaiian destinations for travelers.
"We are seeing more COVID patients in our hospitals and the ICUs are filling up," Ige said on Monday.

I’m betting this is a bunch of Bovine Excrement.
Don’t help us with our #1 source of revenue...
Ige is a f-tard.
Hawaii does have a bunch of fat ass people though.
It’s odd, you’re either ripped like a pro fitness model or tubby as hell.
The hospitals there have had more than a year to prepare for any surge.
There should be no cause for concern.
One of, if not the most, vaccinated states in the union.
As folks here have discussed, if you start requiring vaccines for hospital staff a strange thing happens—you have staffing shortages.
“Nobody could have seen it coming.”
;-)
any dead? not much I thought so
I just checked. ICU beds make up 13 percent of hospital beds overall in the United States. They are occupied 66 percent of the time, before covid. So, for them to fill up, not much extra margin.
Let us hope that the island sinks. After all, the fools there also sent Hirono to DC.
Hmm, or might that be getting rid of the village idiot?
Do they still do that ‘rabies quarantining” thing there with lower forms of mammalian life?
Is it still working?
Could this procedure somehow be modified to work on humans?
Other than that Hawaii sucks.
Hawaii’s own CoupFlu dashboard says this is BS.
BTW, Hawaii is another state that counts probables in its CoupFlu case count.
Their stats are crap, too.
There is only one conclusion to be drawn, and it echoes the predictions made by yours truly and others many months ago:
The ‘virus free’ islands/countries will NOT escape this virus, no matter their actions. FReeper mask tyrants be damned.
It was better to let it run its course 18 months ago, and is booming loudly this month with every new report of ‘cases’.
WAIT! I thought only Florida and Texas would have this problem! /sarc
65% of the total population is vaccinated. Cases have gone up over 4-fold in the last month.
What is the covid/non covid ratio in those hospitals?
Beaubo said on one daily vaccination thread that “Springfield, Missouri is where the current Delta wave of COVID first strained the local hospital capacity.”
I asked what the ratio was but he didn’t answer. I have a feeling the covid patients are the minority and the media is blabbing and others blab what the media blabbed without knowing the actual numbers.
Can you see the ocean going barges piled high with CONvid bodies from the Space Station yet? Will sharks eat contaminated bodies? Even sharks may be skerred of CONvid.
My next door neighbors are over there on vacation now. I hope they don’t get quarantined like fruit as they leave.
So many doctors and medical research experts were out there from the beginning talking about the PREVENTATIVES... Vit. D, Zinc, Vit. C, Magnesium....
AND CURES that have been available from day one. Ivermectin, Remdesivir, Hydroxychloroquine.....
And the MSM and social media networks covered up the truth about them!
I was one of the ones who got multiple 30 day Facebook jail terms for reporting on the good effects!
HOW MANY HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF LIVES LOST BECAUSE OF THEIR LIES??
There are no beds here and haven’t been for weeks.
Mother got the Pfizer jab and had a protein spike. Ended up in the ER with heart problems last week and was transferred miles away just to get a bed. She now has stints in her once healthy heart.
You lost that BS bet.
Imagine that.
