63 People Test Positive For Covid-19 On Martha's Vineyard After Barack Obama's Reckless '700-People' Soirée Where Guests Partied Without Masks

Covid cases have spiked in the location where Barack Obama had his maskless birthday bash just days ago.
As RadarOnline.com reported, #44 turned 60 years old last week and threw himself a hell of a soiree on Martha's Vineyard, despite Joe Biden's administration and CDC warning people to avoid large gatherings due to the Delta variant.
Now, more than 60 people on Martha's Vineyard have reportedly tested positive for Covid-19 in the past few days -- surprise!
According to Daily Mail, approximately 63 people in the area have tested positive since Obama's giant birthday party, marking the highest Covid spike since April.
Despite the uptick in Covid cases days after the former President's big ol' bash, health officials say it's too early to pin the spike on Obama's party.
"At this time we're not aware of any cases connected to the Obama party,'" Tisbury health agent and boards of health spokesperson Maura Valley told Daily Mail, adding, "It's a little too early and the only way we're going to know is through comprehensive contact tracing."
Hundreds gathered for Obama's Saturday night soirée, despite his team claiming he "significantly scaled back" the originally planned 700-people party after catching backlash.
Chrissy Teigen, John Legend, Dwyane Wade, Gabriel Union, Don Cheadle, rapper Common, and H.E.R. were all spotted arriving to Martha's Vineyard ahead of the celebrations.
Other rumored guests -- aka "close friends" -- included Steven Spielberg, Oprah, Tom Hanks, George Clooney, Jay-Z, Beyonce, Bradley Cooper, and Bruce Springsteen.
Despite breaking the CDC guidelines for his party, Obama continued to defy the recommendations the following day.
The former president was photographed maskless in a large group of people for brunch on Sunday.

While the group was outside, they were under a massive tent and packed shoulder to shoulder around the table.
Obama isn't the only one who seems to be not following Joe's administration's guidelines. The President's son Hunter Biden was caught completely maskless in a large crowd too.
