It hides this plain fact behind class and "culture". The ballet created a socially distance fundraiser that it live streamed to guests.

Ashley decided to organize a CATERED VIEWING PARTY that created a coronavirus super spreader event.

That's the story. That's it.
The whole structure of this thing is journalistic malfeasance TBH. Burying the fact that everything was against the rules. the plink piano music tenor. The "it was well intentioned" framing. The tut tut tone. The centering of the socialite over the people who worked the party.
They likely had to choose between getting bills paid and not. They didn't attend a party because it would be fun.
Nobody cares if the party was picture perfect. We weren't there! What they care about is every person gets Covid will likely infect 3 people. That's what matters.
