I still don't get it. I mean, I am reading that she suggested the meeting, but I'm not reading that she set it up. If someone told me they're worried about corona, but really want to see their friends over their birthday, I'd suggest the very same thing. Doesn't mean I'd show up, cause that would just have been me politely attempting to soothe an aquaintances worries with a helpful suggestion.

Sorry if I'm being daft.
