A new location for the goal posts (further down the field)

Now the goal for Hawaii is to keep “cases” (positive test results) under 100 per day.  The last goal of “70% of the population vaccinated” has been achieved but will not result in any change in mandates because the goal posts have been moved (again).

Gov. Ige interview with the Honolulu Star-Advertiser Spotlight Hawaii

Note that the video includes these statements:

1. “Safe Travels will continue as long as there are those traveling that are not vaccinated”.  – What is the guideline for ending this program?  Will travelers arriving in 2025 still be subject to these requirements?

2. “Governor Ige said that he is considering plans to incorporate booster shots and antigen tests into the Safe Travels program as well.” – Apparently, travelers will soon be required to have a booster shot before entering Hawaii without a quarantine.

How does Ige’s last emergency proclamation provide authority to set goals that would take effect on 1/1/2022?  This date is more than 60 days beyond the effective date of the emergency proclamation.
