Did the Martha's Vineyard Obamapalooza Turn out to Be a 'Super Spreader' Event, After All?

Remember how we were told all about the myriad of precautions in place for narcissist-in-chief Barack Obama’s massive star-studded 60th birthday party at his $12 million estate on Martha’s Vineyard this past weekend? Remember how the New York Times reporter assured us that COVID-spread concerns were much ado about nothing because the “sophisticated” crowd was “following all the safety precautions”?
Guess what?
As reported by The Vineyard Gazette, it seems that a new spike in Island Covid cases has closed a bevy of businesses at the peak of summer and left two patients hospitalized with the virus for the first time since early spring. Coincidence? Perhaps. Via The Gazette:
TestMV — the Island’s free testing site — has also received approval to move from the West Tisbury School to the Agricultural Hall, with the facility seeing a rise in test recipients in recent weeks.
Health agents have reported 54 new Covid-19 cases since Sunday, August 8, with 10 reported on Tuesday, 13 on Wednesday and now 18 new cases reported Thursday. The 54 cases reported over the past five days come after case levels reached near-zero totals at the beginning of the summer.
Two patients were hospitalized with Covid-19 at Martha’s Vineyard Hospital as of Thursday afternoon, according to hospital spokesman Marissa Lefebvre. A patient who was hospitalized over the weekend in serious condition remains hospitalized in the same condition. The patient had received only one vaccine dose.
The second patient was hospitalized Wednesday morning in fair condition, Ms. Lefebvre said. She said in an email Thursday that she could not share the patient’s vaccination status.
