Several people test positive for COVID after 4th of July party on Michigan lake

The celebration, where boaters docked on the lake's sandbar and got off their boats to party, drew big crowds.

The local health department said another health agency in the state alerted it to “several individuals" who tested positive for COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus, after attending the sandbar party.Health officials say they are struggling with contact tracing for partygoers who were exposed.

“The positive cases were not able to offer identifying information for all potential contacts and therefore we want to make the public aware that those who attended could be at risk for exposure,” the department said, warning that additional cases might be coming. Michigan has been one of the states hardest hit by the coronavirus, with almost 70,000 confirmed cases and more than 6,000 deaths. The state’s numbers have declined since their April high, but like many places throughout the U.S., cases are now on the rise once more.

“This situation reminds us of how important it is to take precautions such as avoiding large gatherings whenever possible especially without social distancing and masking,” Lisa Peacock, a health officer with the northwest department, said in a statement.

Michigan was “hit hard” with about 6000 deaths. 2000 of those deaths occurred in nursing homes.

But no cases from “peaceful protests”

I started to stream NBC news on Pluto TV until Geico Insurance ads were on nonstop and annoyed me to no end. Goodbye. Click.

Most will be exposed if they haven't already, Bla Bla Bla

For a comparison: Tested after the party? How many tested positive before the party?

Keep an eye open for similar stories regarding other sandbar parties, like the one in Diamond Lake.

And no one should be surprised. Precisely the environment this virus loves. How many times does it have to be said.

meanwhile the thugs and evil doers of the violent groups BM and Antifa roam freely.

Deny them medical care!

lauferlaw Imagine that

'Testing Positive' in and of itself, means very little. The headline seems intended for the reader to infer much more.

Of course ppl tested positive after 4th of July party if they were not following social distancing or wearing a mask. What did they expect?

Darwin Awards, but with a lot more killing of other people.

So what? I guess you're just giving up on being a news organization.

But none of the BLM protestors got it. Hhahahabababahhaahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahbahahabababha

Welp.

What did you think would happen?
