Due to public concern about the risk of COVID-19 in public gatherings, Blood Bank of Hawaii is canceling all upcoming blood drives – including on neighbor islands – as of Monday, March 23. As the stewards of Hawaii’s blood supply, however, we must balance the need for public safety with the need to maintain adequate and continuous levels of blood. Meeting both needs requires a bold new approach. Therefore, we created a safe donation environment which complies with the social distancing recommendations while also allowing us to collect the necessary blood to sustain our
community.
Unfortunately, not all elderly in Hawai'i have ‘ohana on island to look out for them during these very difficult times.
Our mission is to connect our kupuna with sponsors; those in our community who are free of COVID-19 symptoms, have not traveled outside of Hawai`i in the last 21 days and are willing to getting groceries, medication and necessary supplies to our kupuna so they can stay home while the COVID-19 outbreak passes.
The Kupuna Needs Project is a service for elderly (62 years or older) and immunocompromised individuals on Oahu, who are at risk of the dangers of the COVID-19 virus, to get necessities such as food, toiletries, & cleaning supplies delivered to their residence.

$1.14 billion in estimated unemployment assistance;
$1.24 billion in estimated direct cash payments to Hawai‘i residents;
$130 million in estimated funding for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP);
$53 million to support local schools and colleges during the pandemic;
$11 million for Hawai‘i’s community health centers;
$8 million in Community Development Block Grants;This is different from other maps in an important way: The map and the tables below give the per capita infection rate instead of the raw numbers. HI is doing well so far, but the situation is more volatile because we are an island, as anyone who knows the colonial history of the Islands can attest, so things can turn for the worse much more dramatically than on a large landmass. This appears to be continuously updated so far and free from the Post's paywall.
The important part to understand: the cloth covering is not intended to protect the wearer but to prevent the spread of the virus from the wearer to others.
It noted the face coverings could be made at home at a low cost....people should not get a false sense of security from wearing masks.
