Although I am on a Hawaii inter island cruise, I have continued to keep track of this COVID pandemic.   For example : The CDC reported that people 12 years and older who are  unvaccinated were 17 times more likely to die of COVID-19  than those who were up to date. There are pockets of high concern (orange color) in the U.S. Hawaii is among the orange states,  The nearly 6000 new cases/day peak of January 2022 dropped to around 100/day at the end of March, but has increased to around 1000 new cases today. Since March, the deaths/day figure has increased by 20%. 20% of residents have been infected. Around 1 in a 1000 residents have died. The prediction is that  Hawaii could reach 4000 cases/day and peak in June . For the U.S. The positivity rate was 3% on April 20, and has increased to 10% today.  On 25 January 2022 the positivity was 25.7%. Chances are all positivity rates should be much lower today because many these days just take the at-home version and negative tests are not report
