At least 108 COVID-19 cases linked to Northwest Washington Fair in Lynden

At least 108 COVID-19 cases have been linked to the Northwest Washington Fair, which took place in Lynden last month.

The cases involve "both people who were contagious while they were at the fair and people who may have been exposed while they were at the fair," Whatcom County Health Department spokesperson Jennifer Moon said.

The health department said the number may increase as more cases are investigated.

“It is unclear how transmission occurred among visitors to the fair. But what we are seeing regarding the fair highlights the need for masking and other precautions when attending large events, both outdoors and indoors, given our high case rate right now,” Moon said.

Being the most conservative city in Whatcom County I imagine a lot of them don't believe in masks.

Lynden is so right-wing of the Christian type, that after weed was made legal in Washington, the city made an ordinance that it could not be sold in city limits.

In fact, I heard that the area is so bad that it outlawed the time 4:20 which is the well-known time for stoners to celebrate. As I understand it, the rule states that in Lynden, 4:19 shall last two minutes, there-by skipping 4:20 all together.
