Without knowing the number of tests, the absolute number of COVID-19 cases is irrelevant. The positivity rate is much more important which I've never seen published for the island nor the R rate (number of people infected per COVID case), although the latter is almost impossible to calculate without decent contact tracing. Even then, it should be broken down into the major population centers on the island.It is available somewhere, and it's on the Hawaii dashboard. Guys, just stick with it a bit more! Select location and replace "ALL" with "Hawaii". It shows test numbers and percent positives.
Test positivity for Big Island over past 7 days is 1.5%, lower than the state overall which is what I imagined.
