I mean, seriously. I wanted to see the photos to see if I knew anybody there!

| I can only see part of the story. Anyone have pics? |

I pay for good journalism, which includes good photos. |

Well I lost my job in April, and cut back on all non-essentials. But at least you had a chance to feel superior. |

| I want to know more about the backyard summer camp she was apparently hosting at her house! |

Article says people were hanging out around the pool in the backyard, were not masked and sat down for dinner at round tables set for 8 to 10 guests. |

| Sigh...I'm such a peasant. I never get to befriend any of these DC socialites! |

| Here is the full article, which tragically does not include photos of the event: https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/the-virus-didnt-stop-a-washington-socialite-from-throwing-a-backyard-soiree-then-the-tests-came-back-positive/2020/07/01/841041ba-ba19-11ea-bdaf-a129f921026f_story.html |

And if this story is any indication of the pandemic-era norms among this crowd, you're healthier for it! |

| Really disappointing reporting, WaPo! How could they not get photos of the event! Ashley Feinberg would have found some. |

NP. I don't know what county you're in, PP, but I got an email notice last week that PG Library is now offering WaPo, NYTimes, and about 40 other publications (many/various magazines) digitally at home. It used to be that you could only access their subscriptions from inside a library branch. Now you can access them online from home. I'm out of work also and wish I could afford to support journalism right now. Good luck with the job hunt. It's tough out there. |

I hope Bronczek paid the staff two weeks wages. Honestly, the stupidity of having (or attending) an in person party in violation of DC phase I guidelines for how many people can gather while chairing a VIRTUAL fundraiser, is mind-boggling -- not only the scientific/health stupidity but also the political stupidity. Clearly, she didn't learn much from Grandpa Lloyd Hand. There is so much wrong with the descriptions -- two dozen guests not wearing masks, rounds of 8-10, also runs a "backyard summer camp" for friends, slow to report her test results to attendees, etc. I would have some sympathy for the fact that she didn't have a fever until after her party, except that by the date of the fundraiser (mid-June), it was extremely clear that asymptomatic and pre-symptomatic transmission occurs. |
