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.

You are correct about the entourages. A woman in my hometown was a private chef to the stars but moved back home a few years ago. It was her and two helpers that would travel withe stars so 3 people just for food preparation

Average time for symptom onset Wuhan strain 2-5 days after exposure.

14 was the outer limit.

Can’t say that I blame the super rich for living the way they do. If I made $50 million a year and had $500 million stashed away, sure why not - I’d live like downton abbey too. Of course they had to travel by carriage in those days...

Haven’t seen anything about this from a typical (i.e. liberal) MSM “news” source.

Shocking.

“Precisely. And these type people don’t travel like you and I. They bring entourages with them. And private flight crews with jets that don’t have the same air filtration or perhaps not even same sensitization as commercial jets. So the spread can happen far and wide outside the tents of the party.”

When this crud first hit, Tom Hanks and some other elites got it after flying in a private jet to where ever.

According to some people with private pilots in their family, those pilots found themselves unemployed up and down as the private jets were banned from smaller airports in March of last year.

Now all of these small airports are open, and there seems to be a rush to train new/young pilots to fly up and down our coasts with elite customers.

I gotta say though, that if you had a good chef and a good assistant with an assistant, you wouldn’t need to bring food perparers with you. You can (and should) hire them locally. Just bring the chef. Sure, it’s a little more work for the chef but how hard is it to teach people to chop tomatoes?

“A woman in my hometown was a private chef to the stars but moved back home a few years ago. It was her and two helpers that would travel withe stars so 3 people just for food preparation.”

One of our younger relatives is/was an excellent chef.

He was hired by a very rich woman (not a lady) to work regular hours/shifts and be available, when she called him.

That later part was why he left. He had planned to come home for Christmas and she agreed if he had all the meals prepared to heat and serve.

He did and she still called him Christmas morning to get his butt over and prepare Christmas dinner for she and her family.

He quit/got fired and later took her to court and won.

After that, he got out of the food business as a chef.

I’m assuming it is stupid effects that the phone app offers. Clearly this African Egyptian wannabe is “selfie” mad.

It spread like wildfire for my family in Dec. mom got it along with friend, they had it within a day or 2 of being together, then I within 1-3 days, then hubby in 2 then son in 1.

Definitely not delta. In fact right as we were all sick our locale changed from quarantine 14 days to10.
