Authorities arrest Florida couple accused of using fake vaccine cards to travel to Hawaii

HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - Authorities from the Hawaii Attorney General’s Office arrested more visitors accused of trying to skirt the state’s Safe Travel’s program using fake vaccination cards.

Daniela and Enzo Dalmazzo, of Miami, Florida, flew to Oahu with their two children on Aug. 11, officials said.

They were arrested on the North Shore.

According to court documents, the couple also had fake vaccine cards for their kids — who were born in 2016 and 2017 — and are too young to be vaccinated.

Enzo Dalmazzo was charged with one count, and Daniela Dalmazzo was charged with three counts, including those for her two kids.

They were cited a total of $8,000.

They have since posted bail.

This is the second known case of visitors accused of using fake vaccination cards to bypass quarantine. A father and son from California were arrested last week Sunday.

EVERY loving WEEK there's a couple models that say we can land a critical hit on covid and make it instantly disappear. There's one model that puts 0 covid cases within a week inside its 95% confidence model, and multiple that say it's possible in 4 weeks. I love when they include 0 covid cases in the next weeks predictions, because the forecasts are made 2 days before the start of the week. So the model is saying that covid could literally instantly disappear, and no one who has already taken a test when the model was publish would test positive, and that no one would test positive for the next 7 days. No one entering the country will have covid, no outstanding tests will have covid, no one in hospitals will test positive, no positive tests anywhere in the country. It's the Zapp Brannigan model that predicts we're gonna hit covid's kill counter and the virus will just shut down globally.


EVERY loving WEEK they publish that same prediction of "COVID goes away in a few weeks".

its entirely possible to land a critical hit on covid, it just requires ludicrously heavy handed enforcement, paying everyone to stay home, enforcing that people are not having bar brunch with as much force as possible, and everyone following guidelines for a month or two with zero exceptions

So from what I’ve gleaned. You have unvaccinated kids. Your wife has not cared at all about quarantining or protecting the kids or you. You read all of the information in this thread. But you haven’t changed much at all in the way of your normal behaviors. Is this wrong? The biggest conflict I remember was you had a pool party and locked yourself inside or something but the kids and wife were mingling with all the friends and fam?

Not calling you out to be rude. You just really give me this sense of whiplash when I read your posts. I don’t understand you.

The only thing I take issue with is giving advice recommending people put kids in school for social interaction when you aren’t protecting yours.

This is the riskiest thing I've done by far, I've mainly given up and very much changed behavior. I went out once to dinner in mid March, pre Delta, after being fully vaccinated when capacity limits were in place. The pool party was someone else but my wife also went to the pool and I hid on a chair with a hat over my head after being freaked out , about a year ago.

Still masking n95 on transit and grocery stores and museums and in outdoor crowds; my kid will have kf94s for school, not going to go to packed bars or restaurants. But mostly empty ones? gently caress it sure

Covid isn't going away. My kid probably won't be vaccinated til next year . It isn't that big a deal in northern Illinois, yet. I'll booster each October.

Imagine what the Emily Osters of the world are going to be doing. They're gonna be dragging their little superspreaders to every restaurant and poorly-ventilated event they can find because they "deserve a treat". I'm really just floored at how people think this is going to be just fine after seeing the same disaster play out over and over and over and loving over again.

And then, when the inevitable happens because of their horrific policies, nobody could have known. Not our fault. Must have been those unvaccinated/immigrants/whatever causing the problems that we had absolutely no power to prevent whatsoever.

Vaccines take a couple of months to be effective and the ones we have right now are about 50/50 with Delta. Mask them young-uns up ASAP.

Different evaluations of risk I guess. We’re continuing to quarantine (curbside restaurants, grocery delivery or curbside, date nights in, etc) until our kid is vaxxed. Kudos to you, it’s an enormous challenge to read this thread and then take a mask off in public like in a restaurant a few feet from the next table or where someone could pass by unmasked at any second. I’m more of an all or nothing sort of person I guess.

Not sure about trials - someone else in the thread was trying to get their kids into one and would know more about it

MMR booster couldn't hurt if they haven't already had one in the last year or two - kids usually get it in infancy and then again around age 5.

If the kid could pass for 12...just lie about their name and age and say they're uninsured
