EXCLUSIVE: At least 63 people on Martha's Vineyard have tested positive for Covid-19 since Barack Obama's maskless 60th birthday bash - the most cases on the island since April

A total of 63 people on Martha's Vineyard have tested positive for Covid- 19 since former President Barack Obama's 60th birthday extravaganza last Saturday, more than any week since April.

-snip-

Hundreds of people attended Obama's birthday bash Saturday, flying in from around the country and congregating under tents where partiers danced, ate and drank the night away on his estate in Edgartown.

He gathered with friends Thursday at the Barn Bowl & Bistro, joined a larger kick-off celebration Friday at the luxury Winnetu Oceanside Resort.

Obama followed up his party with a brunch Sunday at Beach Road restaurant, dining under a specially-erected marquee beside the water in Vineyard Haven.

Martha's Vineyard was already experiencing a new surge in cases when Obama, preparing to welcome 500 guests to his mansion, announced his party would be 'scaled back' amid criticism as the Delta coronavirus variant spread across the country.

Many of the guests flew in by private jet and stayed in Edgartown, the center of the island's COVID resurgence.

Well to be fair: testing positive is hardly important.

So far, as a percentage of population and just off the top of my head math, more people were infected in the days around Obama’s bash than from the bikers at Sturgis or the concert-goers at the Chicago Lollapalooza festival.

When you consider this was a fairly tight group of people (not a random collection) they likely “hung together” in cliques, thus greater likelihood of becoming a superspreader event. Not like Oprah and George Clooney would come into the local tavern for a couple of beers. They hang out with their own kind at their own places and revolve around their own egotistical orbits.

But.. it’s okay…

They’re SOPHISTICATED!

It’s a scientific fact. Tell the virus you have your own Gulfstream IV and it will politely back off.

The cases on the island are the tip of the iceberg.

There were 400 or so local cases in the Provincetown event. There are 4000 linked cases all over the country.

They don't yet realize that raising your eyebrows, and asking menacingly,
"Don't you know WHO -- I -- AM?"

has no effect on a virus.

Every American should have the freedom to travel and do as they wish.

True story: I have a good friend in the state of Florida (where I’ll be by the end of the year) who once worked security at an airport — I think it was Dulles. Anyway, he and his partner asked Sam Donaldson — yes, THAT one — to open his suitcase. Sam asked them, “Do you know how I am?” My friend’s partner replied, “Yeah, you’re that obnoxious guy on the Tee Vee!”

“Partner” as in co-worker, since I obviously have to explain which vernacular is being used nowadays.

Maybe it’s proof they are just trash.
