      I read the piece and can't make heads or tails of whether anyone actually got infected at the party? Not discounting the possibility. The host was obviously already infected (came down right after the night) but then what? Were guests infected at the party? Can't tell from story.

          Good point. Terrible writing. I don’t think it was in the news section.

          I think it's less the writer and more that a lot of the people involved are refusing to comment, because they're worried about their social standing.

          As a totes armchair epi, this is one of the rare clusters associated with an outdoor event I came across. And details are super skimpy because the rich people involved have all clammed up, and photos deleted. This should really be studied! But we did have this from the article:

          "But within hours of the dinner, she began showing symptoms and was diagnosed shortly thereafter. Others who sat at her table are rumored to have also tested positive but did not return calls or declined to comment." So maybe she was at the height of her infectiousness+hours...

          It's easy. During a pandemic disease, no party and no gatherings.
