There are problems at places in which the corona situation is "too good", such as remote islands, certainly including the Big Island.

The governments of those countries/states will hesitate to let people in, because having things totally under control is too valuable to risk.

Australia and New Zealand can have races, because these races don't really have to be international. No such option for Kona.

That's why Kona is perhaps less likely to happen than any other race in the world this fall.
