So while it would be nice to go to some restaurant with a great view, if you have to sit close to strangers, probably not worth the risk.
The party was held on March 19th, at a time when almost no one was wearing a mask. The CDC didn't advise wearing masks until a few weeks later. It seems like it was around the week of March 16th that people started seriously quarantining, so this is a few days after that.

I think that people are far more aware of coronavirus and are taking it far more seriously now than they were in mid-March. Mask wearing is up, hand washing is up, no one dares cough around others.
