Hawaii under lockdown had the LOWEST infection per capita numbers in the country. Lockdown lifted with caution… July 4 people partied and crowded the beaches… and people got lax. Now Hawaii has the HIGHEST INFECTION RATE in the country! People are so stupid. After a week of daily numbers above 200/day, today freaked everyone out with 355 new cases. State ‘Covid-czar” Dr. Josh Green (a working ER MD) says we may overwhelm the hospitals within a week if this doesn’t slow down. Governor is talking about reinstating total lockdown for populous Oahu island and Honolulu, where the problem exists. Here on the Big Island we only had 4 new cases.
It doesn’t help that visitors are coming to Hawaii by the thousands. They are supposed to be quarantined for 14 days upon arrival, but a lot… if not a majority… are ignoring and busting the quarantine. The health dept does not have enough checkers to monitor people under quarantine. So we have now become a super-spreader with the highest infection rate in the country. Don’t come to Hawaii unless you want to get infected and have a bad time under quarantine.
