During this pandemic, 50 people gathered together is a lot. Yet Maine seems to think 50 is the magic number to NOT be of a concern. So 65 people attended, 15 extra and now 176 cases and 7 deaths are linked to the wedding? Was it those extra 15 who caused the spread or would there still have been a spread? The blame seems to be on having 15 extra people. I would think that 50 people would be just as likely to be a cause.
"(CNN) A wedding in Maine is linked to 176 Covid-19 cases and the deaths of seven people who didn't attend the celebration, demonstrating just how easily and quickly the virus can spread at social gatherings, public health experts say.
The wedding held in Millinocket on August 7 had about 65 guests, in violation of the state's 50-person cap for indoor events, Maine CDC said.
The event is linked to outbreaks that have unfolded at a nursing home and a jail, both more than 100 miles away from the wedding venue, and among people who had only secondary or tertiary contact with an attendee."
