Hawaii April Travelog #25
Waikoloa - Wed, 13 Apr, 2022, 9pm

Wearing masks really isn't a thing in Hawaii. Over the past few days in Honolulu and now in Kailua-Kona and Waikoloa I've seen voluntary mask wearing in public indoors spaces such as grocery stores and hotel common areas is only about 5%. Back home  voluntary masking is still at about 90% in the grocery stores I frequent in Sunnyvale and Mountain View.

The lax attitude toward public health out here doesn't shift our plans too much. Most of the activities we're here for are outdoors anyway. We're eating few meals at restaurants, and when we do we favor sitting outside anyway. When we shop at grocery stores we wear our masks for the amount they protect us. Really masks are about protecting others from you... but sadly in the modern up-is-down, black-is-white politics of the US, the common understanding has become that masks are to protect yourself, if you're scared. 🙄
