A COVID-19 outbreak in Nantucket has its wealthy residents turning against each other — with some resorting to trying to “rat” out those defying public health rules.
The attempts to take matters into their own hands in the tony Massachusetts enclave came amid an “astronomical” rise in cases following Thanksgiving, the Daily Beast reported.

There was a young Nurse from Nantucket...
is this where Kerry and Obola and other
very special people, always above the Law, live?
He was remarkable.
She was a sailor, so I’ve heard.
There once was a man from Nantucket...
It
s all the people that came to visit on the ferry to see Mom and Dad and pick up a check for college fun.
Not Karen’s. On the island they are Muffy’s or maybe Deirdre”s
NY Post gets more and more worthless, relying on the Daily Beast for their stories.

What gets infected in Nantucket should be required to quarantine in Nantucket.
Shut down the ferry and the airport.
How long will the food supply last in Nantucket?
That’s what always happens in tony enclaves, starting with Plato’s Republic. They eat their own!
Exactly what the DEMs, Deep State, and the MSM wants: people fighting people, rather than fight the wealthy, politicians, judges, and government plants who take advantage of it.
Lol. My brother still lives there. It’s been a resort community for decades. Lots of wealthy ppl used to getting everything they want from others. So a ‘Thanksgiving covid outbreak’ would be fly-in vacationers being seen as infecting year-round “islanders”. Both groups are insular and exclusive of ‘outsiders’. Popcorn time.
Last summer my brother commented about the paranoia and hostility. Islanders routinely bad-mouthed Trump for not flying in and staffing mobile MASH units -as a precaution. The cottage hospital is for the “islandahs”
How many are false positives?
New cases are determined by people who test "positive" for the corona virus. My guess is that many people have the virus but just don't know it because they haven't tested for it, don't have symptoms from it, don't get sick because it or are not hospitalized for it.
But for those who do take the test and test "positive" for the virus, there's this little gem:
IOW, between 3% and 20% of the positive test results are false just due to the unreliability of the test itself.
So I would be real skeptical in these "astronomical" claims by authorities that new viruses cases have gone through the roof, into the sky and beyond into outer space. It is just not true.
