Oahu, day 5

Curfews announced on Kauai (not here); as on the mainland, no gatherings of more than 10, so restaurants, etc., are closed except for takeout/delivery.  Flights to Kauai no longer available for non-essentials…  So far not the same news for the big island, where we’re to fly on Saturday.

US gov’t now to tell citizens to come home or stay put; EU has closed borders to non-essential travel.  Not sure how panicky people are in different areas, but here the few people we do encounter all are remaining quite calm and kind.

A day pretty much spent in the apt., watching wetsuits dry, and connecting with family/friends to just stay in touch.
