[Board] fm Peter / urgent

[Maggie Fogel]

I agree that the membership should be alerted.  It would be helpful if any others (if there ARE any others) who came down with it would join in an alert so that other members can make a decision about whether they want to chance being exposed or not.  I realize that this could be detrimental to our events … but I think our members deserve to be able to make that judgment for themselves.

Not sure how to handle this. Rumors are definitely flying. Unfortunately, I have tested positive. I heard that Lisa Stern tested positive this morning but she would not have been exposed at the club. I was clearly sick by Monday morning.
The problem is rumors are flying. Laurie Clark told a member that she had been exposed which the rumor mill turned Into “she has Covid.”

How should this be handled?
Coincidentally, Anne and Mike Coffey cancelled Mexican night scheduled for Wednesday May 25 because only 39 people signed up. They have rescheduled for Friday July 8, 2022.
The only other event in May is Memorial Day  brunch on May 30. Anyone exposed at the opening dinner should be all clear by May 26.
Things need to be explained to the membership at this point and not use anything that sounds like “many people” etc. I only know about me and Lisa Stern.
I think the Commodore should comment with a personal note. He is so much more articulate than me.
Thoughts?
Warm regards
Soni

Hi all,
  It's just come to my attention (phone call from a PYC member one minute ago) that some attendees at Saturday evening's event have tested positive for Covid.  I was not given specific names, but can confirm that this has happened.
  I'm recommending that people take whatever steps they think appropriate, and I will provide any further updates that I hear.
Best,
Peter
