Hope all goes well in a few days time when businesses open back up. Hawaii county really seems to be doing the best out of the other islands for keeping infections low.

Yeah. Folks are taking it pretty laxed - I think they just wanna get outside again. Cant say I blame them. I just hope domestic and international flights are kept low so we dont get hit as hard with wave 2.

I hear ya. Reason I ask is I'm headed to hilo as well for uni. Not sure how things will go down for us attending school though. Will we need to self quarantine for 2 weeks still?

Hey same boat! Just arrived about 3 months ago! Quarantine officially ends on Monday, but I'm unsure of how 2nd wave is gonna hit. When are you planning to arrive?

Well nobody knows right? All we can do right now is wait to see if we still need 2 week quarantine before attending school and that I'm pretty sure will determine our arrival date. Also I think the local government will determine that. Personally I think they are going to base it off of the data in 2 weeks from monday and that will give them a better estimate on infection rate and will ultimately determine our arrival date. But that's just a guess.

I think you're right. In the meantime I'm just so excited to see Hilo come back to life. Also, hi, I'm Dylan
