Sorry if this was posted earlier.
It’s a worldwide COVID-19 tracker, by country, state, & province, including a breakdown for Hawaii:
https://ncov2019.live/
It’s considered one of the most accurate resources for tracking the virus. It’s designed by a 17 year old on Mercer Island in Washington state.

They cancelled the Kona Brewfest. This is getting serious.

Four cases in Hawaii now.

Just for everyone's info, the VIS on Mauna Kea will be closed temporarily from March 15th onward.

Police clearing the streets last night in New Orleans as large gatherings are prohibited for public health.

Going to put this here.
Some of the passengers on the cruise ship that visited Hilo and then was diverted back to San Francisco, ended up being quarantined in Miramar California. However, the Governor of California is now sending all non-California residents being quarantined there back to their home states.
Also, 4 people there have tested positive. Hell (of a) vacation!

Looks like California is: getting these cases off their tally sheet? Gtting ready to lock-down its borders and doesn't want any non-resident caught inside? Guess we'll find out in the coming days.

Question..
Bruce Anderson, our state director of the department of health, in yesterday's news conference said that we do not have closed borders because they don't work. Whereas Australia and Canada, and other countries just announced they are closing theirs. Which is the better approach?
I personally believe any and all measures to slow the spread of the virus is a critical step towards to greater number of people surviving this crisis. After all, when we consider that it is only a matter of time for there to be a vaccine developed, then the question is how can we prevent transmission until that time is up?
Bruce, Hawaii, says let it in, other countries say keep it out. Who's citizens, on that criteria alone, stand a better chance of holding on until a vaccine is available?
Hawaii's policy appears to be based on an attempt to balance our wellbeing while propping up our economy rather than just flat out putting our health first. Is this reasonable? Is this what the citizens of Hawaii, as dependent as we are on tourism, want? Or is this an example of why our dependance on tourism is a failed economic model?

"Or is this an example of why our dependance on tourism is a failed economic model?"
Of course it's a failed economic model, and our political culture is utterly unwilling and incapable of moving beyond it. If you look at everything from the TMT to putting up a new cell tower to building water bottling plants to simple zoning, there is always either a NIMBY contingent or cultural group howing "NO!" The politicians don't think they can afford to alienate any of these elements, so nothing gets built. We have hung a huge sign on the whole state that says, "Not Open for Business, Go Away." The pandemic may or not bring this into focus with the powers that be, but I'm not counting on it.

Amusing but not surprising to see those who fight so hard to stop any sort of economic development or alternative industries now complaining how reliant we are on tourism.
