Martha's Vineyard Hospital and Nantucket Cottage Hospital

The Obamas have reportedly bought a mansion on Martha's Vineyard.
A Travel Advisory posted on the Steamship Authority website says in part:
"Martha's Vineyard Hospital and Nantucket Cottage Hospital are urging residents and visitors of the islands to consider the limitations of our critical access hospitals during this unprecedented time of pandemic. For your safety and to save lives, we strongly advise you to STAY AT HOME. The perception that the Islands are a safe haven are not realistic given the limited number of personnel, critical supplies and beds. Our system will not be able to handle the large number of infected patients from rapid community spread which is expected."
