I agree that the telescopes on Mauna Kea have provided many jobs and learning experiences and I'm not advocating stopping any scientific endeavors to focus more on the pandemic. And it was your earlier post TomK, that prompted me to look around some more, so thanks for that.
In terms of your questions, I think that oceanography is necessary to predict tidal changes, coral health, marine life, etc. that affects this island and volcanology is necessary in light of the fact that we're living on an active volcano and it seems wise to keep an eye on her. The difference I see in what the telescopes are doing here is that they are looking and exploring. Not saying that's bad, but should we be exploring other worlds while we're imploding on this one?

Certainty will be the death of us.
