Gaming the system

Hawaii has gone from less than 200 visitors a day to more than 2000! Ask yourself, why is this happening? I have a friend who recently moved to Hawaiʻi, and went through the mandatory 2 week quarantine. He was contacted 3 times by telephone, and was following the guidelines, but he could have been doing ANYTHING! Now that people are aware of the lax follow-up, they are coming into the state and doing most of the things they would do on a regular vacation. I have seen some of these visitors around the Big Island, no masks, and wandering about like normal. We had 207 reported cases on 8/3, with several days in a row reporting triple digits. People are so stupid. Aloha.
