Princess Cruises issues coronavirus 'Health Advisory Letter' warning Grand Princess passengers of connection
Princess Cruises said Wednesday that it had issued a “Health Advisory Letter” to guests who are currently aboard — or were recently aboard — the Grand Princess cruise liner, following news that the CDC was investigating a “small cluster” of COVID-19 cases “connected to” the ship’s previous sailing.

Anything in January is way past the incubation period - the relevant part of the article is:
I wish to advise you that today we have been notified by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) that they are investigating a small cluster of COVID-19 (coronavirus) cases in Northern California connected to our previous Grand Princess voyage that sailed roundtrip San Francisco from Feb. 11 to Feb. 21,” the letter reads, in part.
My bad, I cut and pasted the wrong dates in original post (corrected above but also here):

It seems likely to me that people here in Hawaii were exposed.
Since we now have 1 confirmed case - looks like it.
There is debate out there - that warmer weather will inhibit the spread.
Fortunately, from most things I've read - unless you are a really old timer or have underlying health issues the symptoms and recovery are easier than the flu - they had an interview with a Coronavirus person live on CNN, still on the website, he was essentially sick one day with high fever - then recovered quickly.

Speculation, but I think so also.... Of course we haven't done must testing, but I susuect a lot of the cases we find are ones that are brought here, and not transmitted here. Look at that japanese tourist that was here in waikiki and in maui, had to have come into contact with a lot of people, no known or suspected transmission.

I have wondered about that - whether the Hawaii climate will be in our favor. With flu at least, it spreads more easily in cold dry climates.
In other news... Our Maui CostCo ran out of toilet paper after Ige told everyone to stock up on supplies. Never thought I would see that happen.
Spam, rice and toilet paper, those are the first three to go. If you really want to see the shelves clear out, wait until there is a rumor that there will be a shipping strike.
IMHO, it may not really be hoarding supplies, it may just be getting enough supplies to last in case the store doesn't open. I've heard that most folks on Oahu only keep enough food on hand for three meals, one would suppose house hold supplies would also be kept at the same level of "just in time" supply. I'd think that's partly because of the close proximity to shopping as well as the small spaces many folks on Oahu have to live in.
We live pretty far from stores so we tend to have lots of food. We could last maybe 10 days with what we have. I did buy an extra case of beans last time I was at CostCo. And a bottle of gin. You never know...
