Last weekend there was a house fire on the island. A young couple lost everything. Mrs. C helped with animals burned in the fire, the whole community came together to help.
On Saturday the town held a fundraiser for the unfortunates at the Moose Lodge. Mrs C said it was packed and no one was wearing masks.
We have had a mask mandate for months but it has not been enforced and it has been increasingly ignored. Borough authorities have been complaining about that.
Monday, 20 new positive cases of COVID19 were announced. By Wednesday it was 30. In four days, the COVID case count for the past twelve months doubled. Yesterday, the island was locked down tight. Indefinitely.
Sorry I’m late. That’s my excuse and I’m sticking with it.
Sorry to hear about the couple and their house.
Where is this island? What is the population?
You will have to keep us up to date on developments. Sounds like an interesting “case study,” no pun intended since these cases developed amongst an island population.
Some questions:
How much travel was/is there on and off the island among the people who attended the fundraiser?
How were the cases identified? Were there snitches and then contact-tracing kicked in?
How are the people with cases doing?
Is it spreading?
So, if I understand you correctly, this past Saturday, the 20th, the fundraiser takes place and that Monday, just two days later, people start testing positive?
Don’t mean to sound obsessive, but again, it’s an island, so interesting case study potential here.
“Last weekend there was a house fire on the island. A young couple lost everything. Mrs. C helped with animals burned in the fire, the whole community came together to help.”

Oh that’s terrible. I’m sad for the young couple. Your community sounds great though.
Glad Mrs C could help with the injured animals.
