5. Flights are not cancelled. Just not as many flights because demand is down.

And that’s a good thing for now. Hawaii has done well keeping the spread of Covid19 under control here. We are islands in the middle of the pacific who are blue as the sky. If we run
out of food and our hospitals collapse, we aren’t going to get even a roll of paper towels thrown at us by Donnie Two Scoops. There are usually 30,000 visitors PER DAY arriving. We cannot manage that number of additional folks in our hospitals. Our governor would like for the feds to stop all not essential travel to Hawaii but that isn’t happening either.
