I've heard planning department, a few local restaurants and coffee shops (including Ken's, which shut down), and one of the section 8 complexes with over a dozen people in some of the apartments. They are keeping that last one under wraps since there is already enough tension here between locals and COFA treaty residents.
Our infection rate per capita on the Big Island is approaching Oahu's. 39 here is roughly equivalent to 200 there. Except we don't have anywhere near the hospital capacity. If the 10:1 unknown:known case ratio is accurate, you're looking at thousands of people walking around Hilo as asymptomatic carriers within a week. We're going to have to shut down again. :-(
