Posted on 08/10/2021 1:22:09 PM PDT by frogjerk

Covid-19 cases have shot back up on Martha’s Vineyard, with health agents reporting 48 new positive tests during the first week in August, including three case clusters at Edgartown businesses.

In an email Monday, Martha's Vineyard Hospital spokesman Marissa Lefebvre confirmed that there is one patient currently hospitalized with the virus. Ms. Lefebvre said the patient was hospitalized Sunday in serious condition.

Case counts are climbing again. — Island Boards of Health The hospital classifies patient condition as good, fair, serious or critical, in increasing order of severity.

According to a follow-up email from Ms. Lefebvre, the patient had only received their first dose of the vaccine.

The hospital had not reported a new Covid-19 hospitalization since last spring.

The 48 new cases represent the highest weekly total since mid-May, after cases declined to near-zero levels during the beginning months of the summer.

But with the Delta case variant present on the Island, cases have risen dramatically since the end of July, prompting the reappearance of masks at the peak of the Vineyard’s busy season and a handful of restaurant closures.

In a weekly case update, health agents said 35 of the 48 new cases reported between August 1 and August 7 were symptomatic, two were asymptomatic and 11 were unknown.

Twenty-five of the cases are among fully vaccinated residents, one among partially vaccinated residents, 20 among unvaccinated residents and two are unknown.

The real cluster is Fauci’s handling of this.

Remember during the campaign, Biden and his apologists said he had a plan to deal with the virus, as opposed to the alleged bumbling and fumbling by the hated Trump?

Remember when Kamala praised how Obama and Biden dealt with Swine Flu and Ebola, and implied that good Democrats such as Biden know how to handle viruses, unlike the hated Trump?

And yet here we are, with this delta variant now seemingly out of control, and hospitalizations up, when we have a presidential administration which allegedly knew how to handle virus outbreaks better than the bumbling fumbling Trump.

Very true, however you’ll never hear the legacy media give him (Biden) any grief over this. He’s covered.

The story is pure propaganda.

"Covid-19 cases have shot back up on Martha’s Vineyard, with health agents reporting 48 new positive tests during the first week in August, including three case clusters at Edgartown businesses."

A positive test for anything is not a case unless accompanied by symptoms. Giving a test that would often produce a positive result if run on an orange does not make a case of anything. They are cooking the books with a meaningless test, designed to give a positive result as often as possible. It's propaganda.

What about deaths? How much are they rising?

Cases don’t mean much except for getting closer to herd immunity. With real immunity.

Biden is seeding America with 1,000+ new spreaders each day.

Not surprising their are growing outbreaks.

It is purposeful.

25 fully vaccinated (52%)
1 partially vaccinated (2%)
20 unvaccinated (42%)
2 unknown (4%)

48 cases total (35 symptomatic)

This is statistically a small sample, but interesting in that these new case numbers are breaking down roughly 50/50 vaccinated unvaccinated.
