Never been. Would love to go. But not now. Crazy times but hey, I'm doing what I can to social distance and not contract or pass the virus.
The weather is here, I wish you were beautiful.
Actually, Hawaii is soon to have the same rule as soon as the Gov. picks the day to start. No visitors. Then we go to a stay at home 14 day quarantine. If you are a visitor, you will be required to stay put in a room at a home or in a hotel for two weeks. Many hotels are starting to close down and flights are down 50%. Families are being asked to quarantine returning college students. No spring break parties. No gatherings with more than 10 people. Bars are closed on Oahu and Kauai. Soon to be the same on other islands. 8)
Richard you got to understand the mind set of those that live on these islands, soon to have a moratorium on building any structures so what is already built is grandfathered in. Not in my back yard attitude, very protective of everything. Thats why you have these licaks out on US1 holding up signs GO HOME ! I kinda like it

Florida,...and Miami in particular has not been taking the Virus or recommended curtailing of activities seriously. It's about time.
And don't anyone tell me "ur just reading that."
I was down there 2.5 weeks ago to help out some friends for a few days and the place was business as usual and the beaches had not even closed yet.....

Left me out also. Lots of stupids out there still. Hawaii went into a shut down a couple of weeks ago and almost every hotel in the State of Hawaii is closed. If you visit or are a returning resident you are greeted at the airport, temp check given and then mandated to stay in place at home or in available hotel room for two weeks. The gendarmes do random checks. Available flights are down over 80 percent.
So some numb nut brought his family of four to Hawaii with no hotel reservations yesterday. Authorities had to find a place that would take them and they have to pay for to stay in place for two weeks. Aloha!

Decided to head back tonight, the boys are still standing guard. Spoke to one of the officers and they had their first arrest today, a lady tourist was told she could not enter. Subject became defiant, but after the handcuffs were securely on she modified her behaviour.
Good morning
Heading out and what's the first thing we see?
The most beautiful flag being flown in one of our neighbors home....hail to Old Glory!
Y'all be safe out there

Hawaii is slowly re-opening parks, beaches and numerous businesses to residents but visitors will have to wait until the end of June for now. Arrivals have to stay in hotel room for two weeks quarantine. Who wants to do that? A bunch of twenty and thirty something tourist Covidioits keep arriving and ignoring the regulations and are arrested, hit with a major fine and escorted back to the next available flight out of here. It is the only way we can look to opening up restaurants, bars and other businesses without problem of new cases being brought in and having to shut down again. 8)

We can't figure it out either, except low air fares make some want to chance coming and avoid the rules. You can't fix stupid so sometimes you have to arrest it. 8)

Low air fares that were put in place to assist returning residents, mostly college kids. Plus illegal vacation rentals promoting Hawaii as a good place to ride out the virus and shut downs. Perps are easy to spot as they ignore shut down rules for parks, hiking trails and beaches and then post brag photos and messages on social media. 8)
Aloha Don,
Gotcha, here are some quick numbers as of last week:
Florida confirmed 45,588 cases of COVID-19 , with 1,973 deaths attributed to the novel coronavirus.
Miami-Dade has 15,658 cases of COVID-19 with 561 deaths, the highest numbers in the state.
Broward has 6,243 cases and 279 deaths.
Palm Beach County has 4,524 cases and 275 deaths.
Monroe County has 100 cases and three deaths.
We mostly reside in Miami, but are fortunate to have a residence in Monroe or the FL keys.
Looking at the situation early we opted to relocate in February. Fortunately for us the majority of our neighbors in Monroe, are from out of the State so in essence our neighborhood maybe at 10 to 15% capacity if that.
With a dock in the back of our property with direct access to the Atlantic keeps us pretty much totally isolated . Having said that we do understand that no one is completely immune. When we do go out into the public we observe all the required mandates currently in place.
Life goes on

Are you ready for Shut Down Part 2.0 ??????
It's coming ....
It makes no sense to shut down. Those that aren't immune are going to get this crap. Thanks, China.
Texas, Florida and Arizona. They all knew better and the plague was false news. I hope you know what to do now? ;)
It's a VERY sad situation and I wish all the best.
No, no one thought it was fake, nor did the President ever say that. However, people aren't dying here in droves here. They didn't murder the elderly like Cuomo. The good news is it is treatable. If you want to blame someone, look at the racist anarchist terrorist rioters who are really at fault and those who were out destroying America and not following any rules set forth. Of course the communist want to kill off "boomers" People here are still using common sense and we don't live on top of each other like NY other coastal states. As I stated, as testing became more common place more people are going to test positive. There were no accurate test and Fauci is a hack who has been hiding in the CDC for almost 40 years.
I pray we all are well and that there is a viable vaccine soon for those most at risk. ( P.S. I missed being a boomer by five years) lol

The bottom line is the media and the Democrats are working it the best they can to make red states and President Trump look bad for the upcoming elections. IT IS AS PLAIN AS DAY........
Its a virus that was man made from China, lets get that straight. Between Andy C of NY killing old people, thus taking them off medicare, Medicade, no longer costing NY all that money, and being able to cry for federal aid, it is all planed.
Reality:1.There were guidelines for reopening 2.Governors caved to political/societal pressure and began reopening prior to the guidelines being met3.People began ignoring cdc guidelines regarding social distancing ,masks,etc,as states reopened resulting in MANY,MANY more infections(I guess they thought reopening meant business as usual,go figure...) FACTS-politics=reality.Plenty of blame to go around ,but,to me ,that's not really the point.The point is many more of our fellow Americans will die....You can drink the koolaid if you want and dismiss it as largely it is the elderly dying,but are their lives somehow worth less than those of younger people?

Did you look under your bed today for monsters?
I can't wait for you to leave NY so we can declare it a holiday. Go haunt Tennessee.
When BO did nothing when he had a virus that killed over a million people (American's) and did nothing, where were all the clowns back then that came out of the woodwork for this one?
I like your attacks against a person expressing an opinion on this forum. I don't remember attacking you or any other member. But that is what some do, they attack a person. So sad.
Yes we are looking forward to the move, thank you... Have a great day. I drove my Shelby today, and it was fun!
Fact:It wasn't President Obama that dismantled the organization that was supposed to have us prepared for a global pandemic.Facts not politics.Fact:The "cupboard couldn't be empty" of supplies to battle a virus which didn't exist yet.Facts not politics.If this makes you "angry"you have a problem with reality.facts.I also drove my Shelby today.It is fun to drive(and quite loud)fact...LOL ;D
Ladies and Gentlemen points well taken.
Many of my friends have turned from political analysts, constitutional lawyers earlier in the year. To recent biochemists and pandemic experts.
Bottom line WE will not solve this here on this forum. Heck we can't decide what bolt goes where, what plating or did it originally have a radio and if so what type ?
The fact is get ready for shut down # 2, that is all

I never thought this Country would become what it has.
This in a nutshell:
Spike in cases, younger people, (stronger immune systems), recovery is a great prognosis, immunity, (good thing).....Summery, let a virus (man made) be a virus, recovery rate is super high now, yes some will die. its a virus, other than being man made, no different others that come every year.
