I'm sure you know that's not how it works and why 14 days is actually required to make sure somebody doesn't have the virus. They aren't necessarily getting sick on the way to the islands. They probably were already infected, but asymptomatic and didn't test positive at the time they took the test for a variety of reasons.
The 72 hour test just means you didn't test positive for it at that test and they are hoping you don't have it.
There was always the expectation that some people are going to arrive infected even if they tested negative for it.
Kauai warned everybody early on that they would drop out of the program if they exceeded a relatively low threshold.
