And now, when the mainland is mounting plans to reopen things, Hawaii is still looking for ways to stop travelers from coming:

I get the whole, "Hawaiian Time" thing but maybe in a pandemic they could get with the rest of the world? I'm a somewhat new resident so maybe I just need just need to get used to the way things work here.
I don't want to pivot this thread too far off topic (it's about the 14 day mandatory quarantine for all arrivals), but there are counties in California that don't have a mask rule or an overnight curfew, despite having stay-at-home orders in place.
Getting back on topic, Star-Advertiser has an article expressing lawmakers' wishes to continue to crack down on tourism arrivals because the 100 or so are still too much:

The plan would be to prohibit visitors from being able to book lodging.
