Survey on COVID-19 Business Mandates

The University of Hawaii Economic Research Organization (UHERO) in partnership with the Pacific Alliance Against COVID-19 (PAAC), the City and County of Honolulu (OneOahu), and other partners are conducting a brief 10-minute survey for business managers and owners to understand the impacts of the new COVID-19 vaccination and testing requirements on their business. In addition, responses will help us understand how the mandates are affecting business and economic outcomes, vaccination rates, and community needs.

Survey respondents will have the opportunity to win one of ten (10) x $50 gift cards. They will also be informed of the results of the survey by email. Individual responses will not be made public.

  1. The Mandate is significantly impacting our business, we are faced with situations of possibly loosing critical employees, we may be placed in a position that we cannot fully staff our projects . This will cause delays and loss of earnings.

  2. I feel that we are putting way too many restrictions on our business and local families. Yes we all need to be responsible, but looking at other states they are wide open with football stands full of fans. Ours are empty. Our communities depend on tourism to survive.
    The mandates and restaurant restrictions are overkill in my opinion.

  3. U.S. Supreme Court Justice John Marshal Harlan, ruling on a smallpox vaccination mandate (Jacobson v. Massachusetts (1905)), “Real liberty for all could not exist under the operation of a principle which recognizes the right of each individual person to use his own, whether in respect of his person or his property, regardless of the injury that may be done to others.”

    Pandemic depress the economy, public health interventions do not (https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3561560).
