Covid Spikes to Recent Record Levels In Martha's Vineyard, But The Ruling Class Continues Ignoring Obama's Party As a Super-Spreader

Below, the red dot is approximately the date of Obama's Super-Spreader Soiree. The main party took place on Saturday, August 7th. However, it was widely reported that Obama was hosting a three day party, meaning it started August 6th and continued to August 8th.

At last count, the island had 87 cases, up from around 24 before the party.

I know some of you push back against stories like this, saying that cases don't matter and that there is always going to be some spread, but that's not the point.

The point is that the Ruling Class imposes these rules on us, telling us that we're murderers if we don't mask up indoors and if we have gatherings of more than 6-8 people, while hosting enormous luxury parties whenever they feel like dancing maskless with near-strangers.

COVID-19 cases crescendoed last week with 87 new cases reported by the Martha’s Vineyard boards of health — 39 more cases than the previous week.
Of the 87 new cases, 72 were reported at the Martha’s Vineyard Hospital, seven at TestMV, six at the Wampanoag Tribe of Gay Head (Aquinnah), and two at other providers. There are 74 cases still being monitored by public health officials, six that have recovered, and seven lost to follow up from health officials.
There were 43 symptomatic cases, five asymptomatic, and 39 unknown. Of last week’s cases 42 were fully vaccinated, 20 unvaccinated, and 25 unknown.
...
This is the third week in a row that cases have nearly doubled from the previous week. Last week’s 87 cases are the third highest weekly total reported this year, behind 101 cases in late March and 99 cases in early January.

The emergency room of Martha's Vineyard hospital is "jammed" due to the "covid case spike."

From Wednesday, August 18th:

The Martha's Vineyard Hospital is seeing its largest numbers of Covid and non-Covid related patients since the pandemic began, testing emergency room capacity as cases spike on-Island during the peak of summer.
...
Meanwhile, the hospital currently has three patients hospitalized with Covid-19 and a fourth patient under investigation showing Covid-like symptoms. A fifth Covid-positive patient was critically airlifted to Boston last week, hospital officials said during the media briefing Wednesday morning.
According to head of hospital operations and chief nurse Clair Seguin, one of the hospitalized patients is in serious condition, two are in fair condition and one is in good condition. The airlifted patient was in critical condition, Ms. Seguin said.
"This is the highest amount of Covid-positive patient activity that we've had since the onset of the pandemic," Ms. Seguin said at the briefing.

They continue claiming that while there are covid clusters around the island, they haven't been traced back to Obama's Celebrity-Studded Super-Spreader Soiree.

Well... a lot of those people flew in and flew out.

And all of those people have private doctors. All of them have concierge doctors.

I'm sure that there have been a lot of covid cases that aren't being reported, to spare Zero the embarrassment.

The lavish bash for Obamazyandias drew criticism even from reliably left-wing shills like Maureen Dowd.

Jay Gatsby gave big, lavish, new-money parties at his sprawling mansion on the water because he wanted to seem cool. He wanted Daisy to notice him.
Barack Obama gave a big, lavish, new-money party at his sprawling mansion on the water because he wanted to seem cool. Being cool is important to him.
One difference is that Gatsby opened his house to the uninvited. Obama closed his house to many of the invited after getting flak for hosting "a celebrity mosh pit," as Stephen Colbert called it, while officials were telling people to mask back up.
It's hard to stop thinking about the over-the-top fete the former president held at his Martha's Vineyard manse for his 60th birthday. It is such a perfect taxonomy of the Obama arc.
As president, he didn't try hard enough on things we needed. He was a diffident debutante with a distaste for politics. Post-presidency, he is trying too hard on things we don'tt need. The culture is already swimming in Netflix deals, celebrity worship, ostentatious displays of wealth, not to mention podcasts. Did the world really need "Renegades," his duet with Bruce Springsteen?
We already knew Obama gravitated to stars but it was disillusioning to see it on such a grand scale last weekend.
...
Colbert, who was disinvited, joked that he was axed because the president had to limit the guest list to "only his closest Beyonces."

Leftwing Matt Taibbi -- who, of course, is leftwing but despises the neoliberals nearly as intensely as we do -- was even more unsparing, referring to Obama as the "Fat Elvis of neoliberalism."

"Even Scaled Back," wrote Vanity Fair, "Barack Obama’s Birthday Bash Is the Event of the Season." Not even the famed glossy Bible of the unapologetic rich seemed sure of whether to write Obama’s Birthday bash straight or as an Onion headline: what did the "Event of the Season" mean during a pandemic?
A former president flying half the world’s celebrities to spend three days in a maskless ring-kissing romp at a $12 million Martha’s Vineyard mansion, at a moment when only a federal eviction ban prevented the outbreak of a national homelessness crisis, was already an all-time "Fuck the Optics" news event, and that was before the curveball. Because of what even the New York Times called "growing concerns" over how gross the mega-party looked, not least for the Joe Biden administration burdened with asking the nation for sober sacrifice while his ex-boss raised the roof with movie stars, advisers prevailed upon the 44th president to reconsider the bacchanal. But characteristically, hilariously, Obama didn't cancel his party, he merely uninvited those he considered less important, who happened to be almost entirely his most trusted former aides.

Cast out, the Times said, were "the majority of former Obama administration officials... who generally credit themselves with helping create the Obama legacy," including former top aide David Axelrod, who'd just called Obama an "apostle of hope" in the Washington Post and sat for a three-hour HBO documentary deep-throat of his ex-boss. Remaining on the list were celeb couples Chrissy Teigen and John Legend, as well as Dwyane Wade and Gabrielle Union, along with Steven Spielberg, George Clooney, Tom Hanks, Bruce Springsteen, Questlove, Jay-Z, Beyonce', Don Cheadle, and other Fabulous People, who drank "top shelf liquor," puffed stogies, and hit the links at the Vineyard Golf Club (membership fee: $350,000). An early report that Pearl Jam had been hired to perform was later refuted. Eddie Vedder would be there, but not to play.
One attendee called it the "party of all parties," while another added, "Y'all never seen Obama like this," by which he might have meant Obama reportedly dancing as Trap Beckham, performing live, substituted "Prez" for "Bitch" in this classic:

It's all about you
Girl tonight it's about you...
Fuck it up if it's your birthday bitch!
There's a glorious moment in the life of a certain kind of politician, when either because their careers are over, or because they're so untouchable politically that it doesn’t matter anymore, they finally get to remove the mask, no pun intended. This Covid bash was Barack Obama's "Fuck it!" moment.
He extended middle fingers in all directions: to his Vineyard neighbors, the rest of America, Biden, the hanger-on ex-staffers who'd stacked years of hundred-hour work weeks to build his ballyhooed career, the not quite A-listers bounced at the last minute for being not famous enough (sorry, Larry David and Conan O'Brien!), and so on. It'd be hard not to laugh imagining Axelrod reading that even "Real Housewife of Atlanta" Kim Fields got on the party list over him, except that Obama giving the shove-off to his most devoted (if also scummy and greedy) aides is also such a perfect metaphor for the way he slammed the door in the faces of the millions of ordinary voters who once so desperately believed in him.
...
Obama was set up to be the greatest of American heroes, but proved to be a common swindler and one of the great political liars of all time -- he fooled us all. Moreover, his remarkably vacuous post-presidency is proving true everything Trump said in 2016 about the grasping Washington politicians whose only motives are personal enrichment, and who’d do anything, even attend his wedding, for a buck. Trump's point was that he, Trump, was already swinishly rich, while politicians have only one thing to sell to get the upper class status they crave: us.
Obama did that. He sold us out, and it's time to start talking about the role he played in bringing about the hopeless cynical mess that is modern America.

He notes that Obama routinely tagged Hillary Clinton as a "corporate Democrat" in 2008 while at the same time "hoovering up" campaign donations from the exact same corporate, financial, and banking interests she was.

...
Many Democrats remember vaguely that the early Obama years were a disappointment, but the memory has been glazed over by a propaganda point: it wasn't his fault. Tilting at the windmill of a corrupt Washington establishment, his talk about learning to "disagree without being disagreeable" shattered by viciously obstructionist Republicans and race-baiting Fox audiences, Obama accomplished what he could, which wasn't much.
The reality is much more grotesque. Obama sold out the instant he moved into the White House, before the likes of Mitch McConnell even had a chance to figure in the picture.

26 Only relevant longitudinal comparison would be August 2020, which is not on the graph. Hope-Simpson. Learn it, love it, live it.

Parallel point, the virus will spread - or, less likely, it will die out. And nothing short of an effective, sterilizing, widely applied vaccine will affect that. Period. End of discussion.

"Policies" don't work. "Super-spreading event" is part of the fake epidemiology of this whole thing, because it presupposes that transmission can be affected by policies, in the long run and overall, which isn't true (barring a timely, artificial achievement of community resistance via that effective vaccine I mentioned above).

I know, I know. 99% of catastrophically wrong frameworks and assumptions underlying our most serious problems must be stipulated, implicitly or explicitly accepted and form the basis of our own observations. For reasons.

82 Parallel point, the virus will spread - or, less likely, it will die out. And nothing short of an effective, sterilizing, widely applied vaccine will affect that. Period. End of discussion.

Or naturally-acquired herd immunity.
Or eventual mutations of the virus that render it less infectious or deadly.

84 "jane galt", I'll maintain my olympian forbearance and politeness here, as always, and just point out that you must not have read the whole comment:

"timely, artificial achievement of community resistance via that effective vaccine I mentioned above"

There probably won't be one (an effective sterilizing vaccine). In which case things will muddle along until the network effect of community resistance ("herd immunity") takes hold. Vaccines can artificially accelerate her immunity - that is in fact their purpose. With less transmissible bugs like smallpox, elimination is possible and has been achieved.

89 I'm more convinced the Delta variant isn't a variant but a different Covid virus. A virus , to my Holiday Inn knowledge can't mutate as quickly as Covid 19 has alleged to have done. Going from 90% effecting the older and unhealthy population to now targeting healthy young adults and children.

The vaccines were developed using the Covid 19 model and we were told studies showed the mRNA vaccines were effective preventing Covid 19 in the 90% range. Not only had that range been thrown out the window they are trying to erase the record.

Lastly India seems to have been where the Delta 'variant' started after they squashed the original pandemic. India and China are in a tense Cold War right now IYKWIMAITYD. Of course the Delta would spread to the UK because of their close connection with India and large Indian population.

108 The point is that the Ruling Class imposes these rules on us, telling us that we're murderers if we don't mask up indoors and if we have gatherings of more than 6-8 people, while hosting enormous luxury parties whenever they feel like dancing maskless with near-strangers.

Yes, but they're not bad because they're breaking those rules. They're bad because their behavior demonstrates that they understand it's just not that big a deal for most people to catch it and those rules are therefore unnecessary.

111 Dave in Fla, thanks. My laziness knows no bounds anymore - or maybe it's resignation and indifference - but I did watch Baris for a while, I think, after the election, and didn't see much of a specific and concrete nature.

I don't know if Biden's data team offered up the fascinating numbers they did on PA *in advance* of the election - saying Trump needed X% on election day to win, and in fact (even with the "official" results) he got X%++ .... and lost - for other states. But still surprised I haven't found/seen a comprehensive and hard-core data and history-driven analysis of the 6 key states. Could be my fault, but I'd think I'd hear about them.

116 I was reading an article that argued one of the "flu" pandemics of the late 1800s (which came from asia of course) was actually a corona virus, and in fact one of the sources of the corona viruses we currently experience as colds now.

Speaking of which, we never got a vaccine for "the common cold" because the viruses that cause it mutate too often. But yes, let's sign up for Pfizer Prime and get monthly gene therapy injections because I'm sure it will work this time.

As an aside, this is why I hate the word "just" as used in this sentence. "You just have to..." is usually followed by an obvious solution that the person being addressed either already tried, or can't do for some reason, or is actually much more difficult to do than one might discover at first glance.

"You just have to get to the airport" ignores the crush of people, the Taliban hunting specific people, the Taliban whipping people, etc etc etc.

Gee this just doesn't sell me on getting the jab. Virtually the same odds of getting sick as if you skip it.

I know, it's supposedly like the flu, the jab might not keep keep you from getting the bug, but you won't get as sick. But they were sick enough to go to a hospital/clinic and be confirmed as having covid. Maybe they are a bunch of hypochondriacs. No offense to anyone who did their own weighing of risks and rewards and got vaccinated, and I know for a lot of folks their work, having to travel, wanting to see scared family was in the equation as well as personal medical risk from the jab vs from the virus. I was thinking my dad should have gotten the jab, but I wasn't going to try to convince him when he decided no.

Patel said that blueprint -- as well as plans for removing Americans, equipment, and machinery, as well as for contingencies -- was handed to the Biden administration, but "they just basically threw it out the window and fast forward six, seven, eight months."

In fact, the first former senior defense official said then-Defense Secretary nominee Lloyd Austin even rejected a meeting with then-Defense Secretary Christopher Miller -- a former Green Beret and counterterrorism official who had at the time just returned from Afghanistan in December.

"Austin refused to meet with Miller or even have a discussion with him regarding the transition or anything else. Hard to say we didn't leave them a plan when they refused to even meet or discuss it," the former official said.

Some of the former officials said what they see now in Afghanistan is reminiscent of the Obama administration, when Biden was vice president and Austin was commander of Central Command.

The first former official noted that Austin was in charge of the failed Pentagon program to train Syrian rebels to fight against the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS).

"He had $500 million and...only four people who left standing at the first battle. And that was either through desertions or getting killed. That's a terrible return on investment. Why would this person, why would we put him in charge of a $150 billion enterprise?" the former official said

Just wrapped a call with Sec. Austin, Sec. Blinken, and Gen. Milley for the second time on #Afghanistan. During the Q&A with Members, Speaker Pelosi just said "everything sounds like it's in a good place; everyone just needs to get to the airport."

Unbelievable.

Everything's in a good place; everyone just needs to get down to street level and then half-a-mile away before the tower they are in collapses.

255 Everybody knows that the clean folks from Martha's Vineyard or Kennebunkport don't hafta worry about wearing masks, cuz their enlightened politics makes them immune. Need hard evidence? Well, even for the proles, if you loot and burn your cities in the name of St. George or to stick it to Trump or the white devil, boom....instant imunity

256 Christians in Afghanistan are literally running for the mountains. They are being hunted down by the Tolly Bon. The demons are checking their phones for Bible apps.

I always thought so. There was no way they would endanger themselves or their loved ones. Again, medical experiments are for commoners.

She was, but had to decline, as she was attending a funeral.

Obama wasn't going to invite anyone who would get more attention than him. As in Harry. Duke Harry.

263 Just a reminder, the Left hates Obama far more than the Right does. I know several people who are pretty hard Left who have always considered him an utter corporate sell out.

265 JoeF.: "Give Taibbi props. He's a true Lefty, but he's a helluva writer, and he's not afraid to take down The Anointed One."

He was afraid when it mattered. I don't believe he was really that bamboozled by SCOAMF. He played along at the time because it was the "in" thing to do in his industry. It was safe.

Now Obama's behavior insists upon itself so grandly that it's obscene and everyone knows it since "we're all in this together". Now the safe bet is to point out the f***ing obvious in an attempt to save his own reputation by distancing from Obama with "WE were fooled."

Bull. Like with Dowd, it's a snow job on their readers.
