Sooner or later it all had to grind to a halt, as any idiot could have said. The problem is that no idiots did say, and nor did any (or many) experts, until after the fact. Maybe the experts knew, which is why they kept quiet. What could have been done anyway, except to make themselves look like idiots? When you're at a party, it's rude to complain about the food and drink. It's considered polite to wait until you get home and put your pajamas on, when you can moan a little before nodding off.

So this was a party that no one wanted to moan about. And why should they have? The food and drink tasted fine, as is normal just before an epidemic.
