as of yesterday, if you come to Hawaii, you will be quarantined for 14 days in your hotel. and if you’re a resident, you can’t leave your house for 14 days. and if you do, that’s not cool. and you could get arrested.
as for surfing, it’s ok to go to the beach to swim or surf. i went to Bowls yesterday morning and nobody was sitting close to each other, and nobody was shaking hands. waves were super good, and so was the vibe. locals only and lots of respect…
as for work, half the island is unemployed. people have to survive so it’s not a time to judge peoples actions. everybody is in different financial situations so better to keep quiet.
as for my students, don’t travel anywhere. stay home because you don’t want to be stuck in another country, and you don’t want to get sick abroad.
as for fear, please keep calm. just like surfing, fear will make you make the wrong decisions. it will slow your time for reacting. so keep calm, think things trough, and go with the flow.
as of me, i’m taking this next month and turning it into a mini vacation. it’s the first time since i started working at age 13 that i have a whole month break. so yeah, i’m going to enjoy it. fix my house, surf when i please, and continue exercising. but most important, keeping healthy and keeping happy.
like everything else, this will pass. and when it does, this will make us all stronger and wiser…
