State confirms first community transmission of virus following 2 new cases not linked to travel

The state Health Department on Friday confirmed community spread of coronavirus in Hawaii after two new cases were found to have no link to recent travel.

It’s a dramatic new development that will undoubtedly bolster growing calls for the governor to institute stricter measures aimed at locking down the state and stopping travel to the islands.

The Health Department reported 11 new cases of coronavirus virus Friday, bringing the statewide total to 37. Both of the new cases of community transmission are on Oahu, and the patients ― tested by private labs ― have had no direct contact with each other.

“We now have COVID-19 in our commmunity,” said state Health Department Director Bruce Anderson, in a conference call with reporters.

Before Friday, just one of the cases in Hawaii ― in a worker at Kualoa Ranch ― were classified as community transmission. The rest were all the result of recent travel to the mainland or internationally.

Adding this to the Hawai'i thread:

Thread: Rolling convoy today between Honolulu Airport and Waikiki: TOURISTS NOT WELCOME! TOURISTS GO HOME!

Islandwide protests and road blocks planned on Kauai tomorrow. Telling tourists to please leave now!

Same here.. road to Hana is closed. Some tense confrontations today. Airport protests are gaining some serious traction. Stay healthy!

I’m isolating so since it’s across the road, I’ll be holding signs and blocking Tunnels beach access.

2 sick tourists that just got off the plane are in Wilcox ER on Kauai right now.

Hilo has one confirmed case. Heard it was a tourist, she was told to self quarantine, but was seen shopping in Walmart.

Hilo Medical Center is offering drive thru testing

WTF is wrong with people?! The tourists that have been coming the past week or so have zero conscience or morals. True pond scum.

Josh Green was just on FOX news. Said they are going to ban all nonessential travel to Hawaii!

Did you see Ige with his puppeteers, the tourist industry CEOs? He didn’t take the advice of any health professionals or even his own legislature but instead, listened to the very corporations causing the problem!

Yeah, it’s crazy! We’re pissed.

We had road blocks up in Hanalei this morning. Tourists called the police who came and thanked those stopping tourists and informing them KAUAI IS CLOSED!

Have you seen this?! Ige has truly fucked us.

Check the date for point of no return.

Thank you for the tool! Yes, currently about middle of next week we’re effed. One day before the nonsense self quarantine for visitors.

What can we do? Everyone please flood the governor with calls demanding incoming flights be stopped and people stay inside! Today Maui’s beaches looked like spring break. Not a single care was givien.

What I don’t understand is that there hasn’t been a peep out of Pacific Command about all of this. You’d think that protecting missile defense would be important.

As the person who shared it with me said, “Brace for impact!”

I wonder how many tourists, only came because they had non-refundable tickets? It's sort of a lose-lose for them no matter what they do.
