Images of the revelry rippled across social media, showing people eating, drinking and swimming in close quarters. In one picture shared by the news station KSDK, dozens of people could be seen crammed on an outdoor patio underneath a sign reading, “Please practice social distancing.” Scott Pasmore ✔@scottpasmoretv No covid concerns at the lake of the ozarks#loto 26.7K 11:15 PM - May 23, 2020 Twitter Ads info and privacy 17.2K people are talking about this The scenes underscored how some have interpreted the loosening of coronavirus restrictions ahead of the Memorial Day holiday as an invitation to return to a pre-pandemic version of normal. Amid varied and sometimes conflicting orders from state and local officials, people across the country have been left to decide on their own how strictly to follow the rules. The images elicited a barrage of criticism from people angered by the open disregard for the guidelines that public health experts have spent months promoting. “I don’t even know what to say anymore,” tweeted “The View” co-host Meghan McCain. Like most of the country, Missouri has allowed some businesses to reopen and rolled back pandemic-related bans on nonessential activities, even as researchers warn that the virus is still spreading at epidemic rates in Missouri and 23 other states. After Missouri’s stay-at-home order expired May 3, Gov. Mike Parson (R) said all businesses, including large venues, can open as long as seating is spaced out to enforce social distancing, meaning people must be able to remain six feet apart. Many businesses around the Lake of the Ozarks closed in the spring when the pandemic hit. But as the state moved to reopen, they allowed guests to rebook rooms. Several hotels and resorts told local media last week that they were fully booked. In videos shared widely on social media, people could be seen lined up outside the Backwater Jack’s bar and grill, waiting to enter the already packed venue. “Corona-free,” one man in line shouted in as the camera panned to him. The business did not immediately respond to a request for comment Sunday. Similar crowds were seen at other beaches and watering holes on the East Coast, including the Ocean City boardwalk and a beach on the reopened Jersey Shore. ...pics from Tib's pool party....... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise it doesn’t make sense. Neither you nor I know why they were wearing masks in the photo. Maybe they were about to go to a store. Maybe they wore them home from somewhere. Maybe they wore them in the car for reasons that make no sense. We It’s obvious to why. She was virtue signaling like the vapid little hack that she is. And I don’t believe she had a filter or other mask as she claims. Even if you buy the deco reasoning why the holes? Maybe to breathe easier? That makes more sense and if you zoom in on the mask there is nothing showing beneath that. With that said, my family wears the mask if we know we will be within close contact with people not for us but just out of respect of other people. The data is clear, our family and the overwhelming majority of the population is at virtually little risk of the virus. But it’s a societal thing for us. Protect the most vulnerable and let’s get on with life. Me wearing a mask is not a big sacrifice and I can handle it for the next 6 months. But I sure as hell won’t be wearing it if I’m at a beach or walking outside to go into a store and definitely not in a car. And the Ozark pictures. This is just another vapid media hysteria creation. OH NO! BIG CROWDS OF PEOPLE OUTSIDE HAVING FUN IN THE SUN! The horror! This is where hysteria overrules facts. The 4 surrounding counties have one death in total. The prevalency of the virus in this area is very low. And the fact that it’s outside in the heat, humidity and UV virus makes it a hostile environment for virus transmission. And even if some people got it, the age demographic of the people present here have at least a 99.9% survival rate. I swear, the stupidity of the media runs very deep. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He knows everything, yet his mental illness requires him to keep asking stupid questions just to prove he is “right.” ??? No I ask questions to clarify points that people make. There is so much baseless ***** thrown out here. And then when I ask questions for clarifications people (or trolls such as yourself) change the subject, call me names or ignore my questions altogether. It's kind of how true debate works. You should try it sometime. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njbuff Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 I just had somebody tell me that the mortality rate for this virus is 6.3%. So, that means that 20,000,000 people are going to die? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birx also left open the possibility of recommending the nation shut down again if there is another major outbreak, saying "it's difficult to tell" if she could see the country shuttering again. She added there are preparations underway by the government if there is another wave, saying "we are preparing for that potential fall issue, both in (personal protective equipment) ... and vaccine developments so we can be ready if the virus does come back in a significant way," she said on ABC.
