One of the most upsetting CDC reports yet: Wedding leads to 177 Covid cases & 7 deaths among people who weren’t even there.Aug 7. Wedding w/55 guests in a Maine town with no corona.
A guest goes to a school meeting. Others go to jobs at a nursing home & jail, with symptoms.
Wedding screened for fever but guests don’t wear masks indoors. Wedding hosts don’t give health dept a list of phone # of guests. So contact tracing isn’t fast enough to stop spread.
After 23 days health dept determines that 30 of 55 guests were positive. By then it’s too late.

Because of the wedding:
-120 staff & residents of a care facility & correctional facility were infected & scared & may have long term health issues.
-27 people not at the wedding +
-2 people who served wedding guests got Covid
-Many mourn the early deaths of 7 loved ones.

The wedding makes me mad. But also, if we pushed for rapid contact tracing & quarantine, these guests would not have spread to congregate settings.
And why are we only seeing this report on an August outbreak in November?!
