Dictator Gary Edwards has announced that regular lunch meetings will be suspended for reasons of the surge in the Delta Mutation Covid-19 incidence in Washoe County.

At least one member of the “regular” attendees at lunch has tested positive for the Delta Mutation of Covid-19, and whether he was vaccinated is not known for certain. We have not asked members for their vaccination status, but it is believed that several members may not be vaccinated.

Out of an abundance of caution, and based in no small measure upon the fact that we are all in the most susceptible age range for respiratory and other problems should we become infected, Dictator Gary Edwards has decided to suspend weekly lunch meetings temporarily, and also to delay the planned Annual Barbecue Event.

Therefore, the weekly luncheon meetings for Thursdays, 9 September and 16 September are cancelled.

The Dictator will re-evaluate the situation over the next two weeks, including the Washoe County case incidence reports. For reference, new cases in Washoe County on 03 September 2021 were over 1,400 news cases per day with more than 30 deaths per day. Those numbers are higher than at any time since the pandemic began.
