Dr. Daskalakis got on the phone with Donnelly Tuesday morning. “Michael’s reaching out to me really put the rocket fuel in the engine to move it quickly,” Dr. Daskalakis says. “He had amassed an early sort of outbreak report.” Dr. Daskalakis routed that report through the ranks of the CDC’s Covid team, boosting the outbreak’s importance to the agency.
By early August, more than 1,000 infections had been traced to Provincetown, originating between July 3rd and 17th, most with mild or no symptoms. Local and county leaders responded to a post–July Fourth uptick in cases.
