I thought I'd give you guys a little info on what my 14 day quarantine looked like after spending a month on vacation in WI. (And some bonus info on the air travel experience.)

I was away from May 13 to Jun 15.  I flew on Alaska and they had all the middle seats empty both ways.  I had layovers at Sea Tac and both there and the Minneapolis airports were ghost towns.  Maintaining minimum distances was never a problem once we landed.

On the return flight Ag declaration forms were filled out and returned to the flight attendant as usual in addition to a personal information form that we were to turn in upon arrival at Honolulu.

After landing we had our temperature checked by National Guardsmen and were put in line to turn in the personal information forms and sign agreements to self impose quarantine.  The girl taking my information verified my address with my drivers lic. and then called my phone to make sure it was a legit number.  I have no idea what I agreed to in the quarantine form because they never bothered to give me a copy.

The "Sate of Hawaii COVID-19 Quarantine Enforcement Task Force" followed up 5 days later with a text asking if I had been "complying with the mandatory 14-day quarantine rule" and asked to know how I was doing.  Texted back that I was in compliance and was doing fine.  The Task Force responded with a "Mahalo!" the following day.  If there was any other attempts to monitor me I'm unaware of them.

Hope this information was helpful to anyone considering travel.  Cheers!

So, you didn't go out for pizza?  I heard that was a major violation!   

Tip for anyone signing a form nowadays.  With the demise of carbon paper (except for HPD firearms registration forms), it's common now to not get copies of signed forms.  They would have to fill in the blanks on two copies and have you sign both.  That, or have access to a working copier. 

Just take a picture of it on your phone after you sign.  This can also be useful for making copies of receipts you might need to submit for reimbursement.

Reading all the news articles about people who got busted and from my own experience I'd say that unless your neighbors rat you out because they saw you come home with luggage or you couldn't resist posting on social media that you were away then the odds of getting caught are about zero.  I take a dim view on strangling the economy so if someone is considering rolling the dice instead of losing two weeks of income or blowing vacation/sick leave then hopefully this can help them make a better informed decision.

Excellent point on the picture.  I was so ready to be done with travelling that I didn't even think about not getting a copy until I my wife was driving me home.

I have no idea what I agreed to in the quarantine form because they never bothered to give me a copy.

Congrats on quarantining. 
You are the second returning resident I know of that followed protocol, but are definitely NOT the only returning resident(s) I know of.

My daughter was sent home from work a week ago last Friday night because she had a cold -- sneezing, other minor symptoms.

The next day, she went to get a COVID-19 test as required by her employer.  Results came back the next day, Sunday, and she was negative.

She was still kept off the schedule until this coming Saturday to allow for 2 weeks off -- no quarantine or isolation, just not allowed to work.   

What's the purpose of taking the test if the results don't matter one bit?

Luckily, her Income Tax Return was deposited last Friday.  I guess she was entitled to a 2 week unpaid vacation.   

I just finished my 14 day quarantine after returning from Florida. 3 days into it, my wife and I got 1 text asking if we are complying. That was it.

What do they expect you to text back?

"What quarantine?"

"You were serious about that?"

"I can only vouch for myself."

 

Most all my comments have
convinced most guys here I don't like the government,
most cops, or stupid rules.
I'm of an age where this hoax is supposed to be
most deadly, I don't fear death, although
I want to put it off as long as possible.
It insults me that the kids destroy the world
I fought for and built, just because they are afraid
of life and all it's hazards.
I still shake hands.
I would never turn in a quarantine violator
to the government.
I still use cash.

You can't let fear rule your life.
That is all.

"Everybody Dies, But Not Everybody lives"

“A coward dies a thousand times before his death, but the valiant taste of death but once.
It seems to me most strange that men should fear, seeing that death, a necessary end,
will come when it will come.”

Just some thoughts, for my brothers.

No argument that "nobody gets out alive."

Just editorializing on the comment that you're "supposed" to be in the high-risk age group.

Plenty of evidence to support the age-based high-risk theory.
