If Hawaii is trying to keep covid entirely out how does that influence its major source of income, tourism? We are now looking at a 3.5 month period without tourists (assuming most people can't/won't quarantine for 14 days). Will Hawaii just continue that indefinitely? I don't see how that's going to be economically viable.
