Hawaii has the lowest coronavirus death rate per capita of any US state and is lower than the US average by nearly a factor of five.

Yet it's still almost 100x the death rate of NZ, per capita.

Hawaii is still allowing tourism from the USA, I assume NZ is not allowing similar tourism. They could have locked down harder (being an island and all) but didn't probably because their economy isn't as independent as NZ's is.

Cases have been skyrocketing in Hawaii over the last month, though, especially on the outlying islands. Before July, the highest daily case count the Big Island had ever had was ~30. Now the 7-day average is 125, or 60/100k.

Given the health care resources available anywhere but in Honolulu, things won't be pretty if it keeps climbing.
