Prior to the quarantine the "Corona situation" was basically not an issue for those that lived there. My beach was open, shopping was easy, plenty of take-out available, and surfing/golf/ and even some tennis courts were open. So now if I return I have a strict two week quarantine which some said you can't even get food delivered to your home, this must be a mistake as you would then basically starve to death under quarantine. I am not willing to do that at this point and basically waiting in SF for the quarantine to be lifted and I will be on the first plane out! Originally the "rumor" was May 1 now it seems to be more like June 1, this is killing me in so many ways. If this isn't lifted soon my Hawaii operation will be out of business and will have close shop at a horrific financial loss to me after running a successful business for now 12 years in Hawaii.
I'm so sorry. I'm a business owner too so I get it. I hope that you are able to get back ASAP.
