I know, right?
It is so unbelievably stupid that you need a positive test for YVR-SEA which might be an hour long flight on a bad day, but no test for the 11 hour BOS-HNL. Oh, but if you drive from Vancouver to Seattle, no test needed either.
And no, I'm not advocating a test requirement for domestic flights or land border crossings. Just pointing out how inconsistent the rule is and that it has nothing to do with preventing the spread.
