Part of development of a healthy lifestyle is exercise. This is an important habit to instill in our youth from a very early age. We live in Hawaii where our children can be outside year round. One of the suggestions for treatment of for Covid-19 and like illnesses is adequate vitamin D. Everyone needs to be outside moving their bodies. If our “leaders” really believed in the science, they would have taken action and encouraged proper fuel for our immune systems: physical exercise, proper diet, and truly socially distant engagement with other humans. I will not teach my children to live in FEAR. Fear suppresses your immune system. It is utterly shameful that the Lt. Gov is a “Doctor” and he pushed this pathetic narrative of fear all along. Thank you for all who are advocating for the children to get back into school and sports. Social, emotional, and physical activity all play a vital role in living a healthy life.

we are in a pandemic. Theres no other words to explain it. This virus is very unpredictable. Being on the wrong side of the virus can happen to anybody, no matter if you healthy or not. Preventing is alot safer than lets try it and see what happens. We all want sports, but for the safety of the kids and families lets get through these next months with vaccines and worry about next season. Taking a risk and if things doesnt go well, then what? Might be digging ourselves in a deeper hole when we are trying to climb out of it.

MAHALO for providing this platform to address this. Strongly believe in this provided there are safe precautions in place. As a parent and a High School coach as well being a high school student athlete in the past, you see what sports, clubs extra curricular activities do, the benefits, relationships and so forth. All for extra testing, or no spectators. All student athletes dream of playing way beyond youth/high school. Give them a chance to play at home even if no spectators. You hear/see a lot of Hawaii athletes leaving to play in the mainland to better the chances of playing at the next level.

Mahalo for helping our islands kids! If they can develop plans for tourists to come in then they make a plan for the sons and daughters of Hawai’i l.
Have parents pay for extra testing, etc. I’m sure most parents would be willing to do whatever it takes. Especially the senior parents.

Disclaimer: Sports and all extracurricular activities are important.

While sports are important, there are other ways to remain active. Many people are blaming the governor and mayor. Well, I also blame parents who aren’t creative enough to help their children come up with ideas to stay active and get out of the house. There is jogging, hiking, swimming, etc. My buddy’s kid got a part time job. My nephew is putting more time into his studies and improved his gpa. He also has been researching colleges and now made his own digital catalog of schools he wants to go to. My children who live in the mainland and are in college have been volunteering at the local hospitals to provide assistance. Being mentally and psychologically sound can be accomplished in a variety of ways. To attribute mental health “solely” to sports is unhealthy and shows how irresponsible some parents can be.
