[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just remember, the people who died as a result of that wedding in Maine weren’t the ones who actually went to the wedding. It just spread to them. [/quote]

Exactly right. I work in the county in Maine most hard hit by Covid right now as a direct result of the Millinocket wedding and we are more than 200 miles away from where the gathering took placce[/quote]

NP. somewhat off topic for this thread but I wish the story of this wedding were much better known nationally. People might realize that their "feeeeeelings" about they must go ahead with their milestone events do not matter right now, and owners of hotels, restaurants and other venues might wake up and stop looking the other way and allowing groups that violate state rules. I hope somehow the venue can be prosecuted to be an example to others. The ignorance of the couple and guests is staggering. I don't know how they live with the idea that they clearly brought the virus into an area that had been clear of it -- and it can be directly traced to THEM. Infuriating. PP above, do you know if the place that held the wedding has been shut down or fined or anything? Or if the couple is being held liable somehow? [/quote]

PP - I don't know.  The name of the inn that hosted is well known and has been all over the news, I don't believe the wedding couple have been identified in the media.  The person who has gotten the most individual press is a pastor whose church ended up being a local super-spreader in southern Maine.  I think someone in the church attending the wedding and brought it back.  But indoor services with full choir are continuing and pastor is unapologetic, has hired a lawyer who is arguing for religious liberty, that kind of garbage. It is truly infuriating.  We did so well in Maine all summer long even with all the visitors coming, and now one stupid local event and we've lost so much ground.[/quote]
