"Here we are arguing over the tourists and it might just be us reinfecting ourselves!" - randomq
Given that there basically aren't any tourists on the Big Island right now, I'm guessing that we are mostly reinfecting ourselves. They've made a big deal out of that cluster at the University of the Nations, but weren't any incoming students supposed to have been quarantined? My whole point is that the state's statistics don't always add up and don't really tell us what we need to know to have an informed opinion about tourism. As kalakoa points out, the zip code reporting doesn't really cut it, and they've even admitted that those numbers aren't always accurate.
And don't start me on the fact that Civil Defense and the Big Island hospitals have reported 36 deaths here so far while the state has only managed to count 15. Yet somehow, Ige and his cohort expect us to have confidence in their ability to manage an influx of tourists. Accurate numbers would be a start on that.
