Not doubting, not hating, not loving, just hoping because I am a fan.

the band wears "performance masks" while playing their instruments. not sure how that works, but if you look at the photo suite by na koa mike, in the nakoa.org link, there is a shot of the band playing in the stands and you can clearly see they are wearing masks. i don't know how they do that.RedZone wrote: ↑Sat Sep 18, 2021 5:19 pmAgree!shrek2 wrote: ↑Sat Sep 18, 2021 4:30 pmI love the band!

Just wondering how many of the band members ended up getting covid from the game last sat.

Shame, shame, shame on Governor Ige.

Re: UH Will Play at Ching Field - But No Fans For Now, Band Now Allowed
I read Tsai's article a few days ago regarding not having fans at UH games, and like usual the article was filled with hyperbole and rhetoric. What we need now are articles that deal with the scientific facts. Someone that can write an article that does an interview with a scientist, doctors (i.e, Lt. Gov Green) or a UH professor regarding super spreader events in an open stadium amongst vaccinated fans and the adverse effects thereof (if any). We need data/knowledge of how the rest of the US is able to have football fans in their stands during the recent covid surge and how those communities are coping with pandemic. Someone needs to cross Ige's bridge or better yet stonewall and show him that amongst the vaccinated population 8 out of a 100,000 on the average are catching the disease with health conditions not as severe than those unvaccinated (if I read it correctly only 1 percent die-and I think we can cope with these numbers). I think most countries (like Japan), states (and governors) look at being less restrictive with mandates because the social-economic impact and loss thereof is bigger a burden than the disease itself. The thought is that in these trying times it is best at coexisting with the disease (especially as more and more of the population gets vaccinated). With nearly 70 percent of Hawaii's population being vaccinated I wish Ige was open minded, especially as the number of cases has dipped back into the 200's. However if we continue on Ige's road it wouldn't surprise me if the Hawaii Bowl is cancelled and hotel occupancy gets torpedoed with the governor unwelcoming visitors.

We all thought it was shi shi and giggles when we made fun of Ige for forgetting his Twitter password with the missile fiasco. Karma has come to haunt us.sarvicdar wrote: ↑Wed Sep 29, 2021 6:30 pm I read Tsai's article a few days ago regarding not having fans at UH games, and like usual the article was filled with hyperbole and rhetoric.

FYI I’m joking BTW. Let’s hope the COVID numbers continue to trend down, which it seems to be, so we can open up more.

Gov did not directly answer Howard's specific question and instead gave a general response without any specific explanation of why it's zero vaccinated and socially distanced fans.....yet it's not zero for any other outdoor gatherings nor for indoor gatherings.
Worse yet, fully vaccinated family members of current players are still not allowed to attend home games....nor are fully vaccinated prospective recruits either....even though the fully vaccinated UH band members are. At this rate, UH might have only a few signees (particularly from the mainland....especially from Texas where there are virtually no fan restrictions) for the Dec. 15, 2021 Early Signing Day.
Ige will be a lame-duck Gov next legislative session in 2022 when UH will probably have to beg for increased legislative appropriation funding to supplement the athletic budget to sustain and operate the current athletic programs (to make up for the loss in football ticket sale revenue)....so he could pass that buck for the next Gov to resolve....just like he seems to be doing by deferring/delaying any decision on any future new Aloha Stadium development (which he purposely chose to delay in his first term until he got re-elected for a second term back in 2018). https://twitter.com/RobDeMelloKHON/status/1443428055872012288
