CNN: Obama scales back big birthday bash amid Covid worries
Former President Barack Obama has dramatically scaled back his planned 60th birthday party on Martha’s Vineyard this weekend due to concerns about the highly transmissible Delta variant of Covid-19, according to a spokeswoman.
This event is being held outside with COVID precautions including a reported request that all guests are vaccinated. There is no word on how many guests will now attend, but Obama faced criticism with an original guest list of 400, plus almost 200 workers.
