COVID-19 confirmed in Hawaii: 607+ cases 16 deaths

That's a very low number of positives. I'm wondering how they qualified for testing.

A random sample of asymptomatic individuals tested in a community with even just a little bit of community spread would likely turn up more than this.

So, I take this number to be very good news regardless if it's deemed statistically significant or not.
