Well, our fucking yard gnome of a governor just extended back out to date of opening the island back up to out-of-state visitors from Aug 1st to Sep 1st due to the spikes is cases in some mainland areas. The tourist industry was ramping up preparations for increased business within less than three weeks only to have the fucktard pull the rug out from under them.

Read an article or two suggesting that a lot of the native-born Hawaiians have been enjoying the break from the tourist hordes, that fish populations and diversity on the reefs have been increasing, and that there's some momentum for pushing for more respectful and sustainable tourism practices going forward. Any truth to that?

Haven't seen anything at all about people here happy about being locked down...maybe some Mokes on the far west side who are on perpetual welfare might be digging it. As for a lot of tourists being disrespectful, entitled dipshits, totally agree. I have no idea what you mean by "sustainable tourism practices".

Some really good news to report. My wife and daughter both got tested last Friday and got results back today. Both are negative!! I re-tested yesterday and still waiting for mine. God I need to get back to work. Amazing how it can get tiresome cracking your first beer at 12:30pm every day and spending the next 4 hours in the pool.

Was going to post this in the poli thread, but thought it better belongs here:

Florida Department of Health says some labs have not reported negative COVID-19 results

Countless labs have reported a 100 percent positivity rate, which means every single person tested was positive. Other labs had very high positivity rates. FOX 35 News found that testing sites like one local Centra Care reported that 83 people were tested and all tested positive. Then, NCF Diagnostics in Alachua reported 88 percent of tests were positive.
[...]
The report showed that Orlando Health had a 98 percent positivity rate. However, when FOX 35 News contacted the hospital, they confirmed errors in the report. Orlando Health's positivity rate is only 9.4 percent, not 98 percent as in the report.
[...]
The report also showed that the Orlando Veteran’s Medical Center had a positivity rate of 76 percent. A spokesperson for the VA told FOX 35 News on Tuesday that this does not reflect their numbers and that the positivity rate for the center is actually 6 percent.

I’m a non-sustainable tourist. I’m ruled out of ever traveling to the islands.

Glad to hear it. Also sounds like you're on the mend

That's a good question. From the articles, I'd guess things like more limits on the capacity of stuff like snorkel tours, efforts to route traffic so locals can better get where they need to get to, maybe more training for tour companies and guides on getting tourists to be less dipshitty ... It does tend to kind of be a buzzword in a lot of contexts.

Well, that would be a pretty good explanatory factor for declining death rates ...

If you're talking about the ratio between cases and deaths, that may be somewhat of a minor factor. But regardless of how those test in the facilities noted was categorized (either positive or negative) those who died from COVID were going to die from it anyway.
