Happy St. Patrickʻs Day (Hauʻoli Lā ʻo Patrick Haipule – I think). So there is some positive news around covid-19 and potentially being around others. Vaccines in Hawaiʻi are on the upswing – some of our counties have over 25% vaccination rates, we are nearing Tier 4 reopening (although as of this writing we have over 1% testing positivity rate – which is supposed to be under 1% for two weeks for us to move into Tier 4), and more vaccines are becoming available to more of the population. With the guidance from the CDC for those that have been vaccinated, I am looking forward to seeing my grandmother soon.
