Having lived in Hawai'i I can state that the Star Advertisers journalism is , at times, suspect. What study did they quote?? I would also point out that in a WH briefing about 10 days ago a reporter asked Dr. Fauci about the MIT study that said the virus could spread out 15 feet. He was very skeptical of this.
