No.  Percentage does not go up Just because more tests are given.   If Asian population is 3%, if you Do more polling the Asian population is still 3%

Why 2 weeks? - probably because that is How long quarantine Is.

But what do I know, I’m just an old Fart

hospital code brown 

Not sure the color matters in that regards.  A freshly painted wooden surface has fewer small cracks and crevices where cleaning is more difficult.

Just a guess, though.

% doesnt go up but if you test more of the population, expect more positive cases based on national and historical HI statistics.

So according to Kirk Caldwell's metric of 200-250 "we won't open again"   until either herd immunity is reached or a vaccine is administered.

Percentage could go up if they tested a lot more through contact tracing.
Focusing Testing on the high risk.

Maybe that’s why they want to test 60,000 basically mass / random people over the next two weeks.

Is anyone gonna go for the free mass tests they’re setting up?

It’s gonna F’Up traffic In Aiea as they’re moving a lot of it to Aloha Stadium.

My next door neighbor says he going. They in the older class.

yep...

Government operations will still be permitted at the range though.
"all for me, none for thee"

even last lockdown, cops and other LEO were shooting at kokohead the whole time too

Yeah, and our taxes pay for the range and LEO's.

But we no can use the range.

I going stay home.  Knowing my luck I going catch the virus just waiting in the car to get tested......

I think it is the percentage of the tests that come back positive that they are looking at, besides the # of positive tests

Oh well at least traffic will be even lighter :-)

I look at the percent filled ICU beds in the state.  It just went from 53% filled to 62% filled in 1 day.  If critical care beds filled in Honolulu and someone has a heart attack on the Big Island then they are not flying to Honolulu as usual to get their angiogram. 

On 8/4 15 covid patients were in the ICU, yesterday it was 54. 

To get a sense of the lack of critical care here, OHSU hospital in Portland has 80 ICU beds.   Hawaii as an entire state has 244  (actually about 60 more but no staff to run them)

To add to the issue 33 doctors have left the Big Island since January and most likely a bunch on the other islands as well.
