*And so much more. Either canceled outright, postponed, or moved online. In the future, will this year become an asterix?

Statewide, COVID-19 bumped 23 cases to 465. Two more people lost their fight with COVID-19, putting our death total at eight.  In Honolulu, drones will be used this weekend at beaches to chase off people, reminding them to stay at home. A visitor arriving in Hawaii with no arrangements for lodging was sent back to the mainland, funded by a Hawaii Tourism grant. On Kauai, we’re at 19, although one has been announced is a case of community-spread whereas the rest are all travel-related.

Be well. Be sane.
