A few are moving off the Island "when possible" as they basically have no jobs. This isn't just idle talk but fact.
If Hawaii loses the entire summer tourist season there is going to be serious civil unrest. I hope that the government realizes this and is making a plan to allow tourists to re-enter as safely as possible.
