“#Was Barack Obama\u2019s Maskless Birthday Party A Super-Spreader Event?!
\n<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\nWow, who could have seen this coming\u2026<\/p>\n

As you\u2019ve probably heard by now, hundreds of people flew in from around the country and gathered to celebrate Barack Obama<\/strong>\u2019s 60th birthday at his estate on Martha\u2019s Vineyard last weekend. Before the event, the guest count was reportedly limited to only include family and close friends due to concerns about the rapid spread of the delta variant.<\/p>\n

In a statement obtained by USA Today<\/em>, spokesperson Hannah Hankins<\/strong> said the outdoor soiree was \u201cplanned months ago in accordance with all public health guidelines and with COVID safeguards in place.\u201d It was also reported that the Obama family had required all attendees to present a negative coronavirus test to enter the event.<\/p>\n

But it app<\/a>eared that those alleged guidelines weren\u2019t always followed. A staff member for the party revealed that a total of 475 guests were in attendance \u2014 including John Legend<\/strong>, Chrissy Teigen<\/strong>, Gabrielle Union<\/strong>, Dwyane Wade<\/strong>, George Clooney<\/strong>, Beyonc\u00e9<\/strong>, and more. Visitors were also caught dancing and hanging out completely mask-less.<\/p>\n

YIKES!<\/p>\n

Now, there, unfortunately, has been a surge of coronavirus cases on the island. According to DailyMail.com<\/em><\/a>, at least 74 people have tested positive for COVID-19 \u2014 which is reportedly the highest number in a week since April! And given the timing, it is hard not to think that the politician\u2019s massive party might have been to blame.<\/p>\n

However, health officials noted that it\u2019s still too early to tell if Obama\u2019s mask-less bash is the reason for the uptick in cases. Tisbury health agent and boards of health spokesperson Maura Valley<\/strong> told DailyMail.com<\/em> that:<\/p>\n

\u201cAt this time we\u2019re not aware of any cases connected to the Obama party. It\u2019s a little too early, and the only way we\u2019re going to know is through comprehensive contact tracing.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

But it is certainly possible that their presence on the island could have contributed since guests were also reportedly seen at other locations during the weekend, including the Winnetu Oceanside Resort<\/strong>, the Beach Road<\/strong> restaurant, the Barn Bowl & Bistro<\/strong>. Several celebs, including Bradley Cooper<\/strong>, reportedly checked into the Harbor View Hotel<\/strong>, where six staff members have already since tested positive too.<\/p>\n

Still, the guests alone may not have been responsible. Data also showed that Martha\u2019s Vineyard was already experiencing a rise of cases, with about 48 people testing positive before the party.<\/p>\n

But let\u2019s be real here, it really would have been easier and better to just have not thrown the bash at all. Just because you\u2019re vaccinated and took safety precautions, it doesn\u2019t give you the freedom to host a party and do whatever you want \u2014 especially when the country is facing a fast-spreading variant. The best thing honestly would have been to cancel. And now, who knows how much Obama\u2019s party will exacerbate the issue that\u2019s already plaguing the island.<\/p>\n

As we\u2019ve said many times before, please do your part so we can finally move past this. Mask up, vax up, and social<\/a> distance!<\/p>\n
