Pool party at Lake of the Ozarks in Missouri draws a packed crowd
CNN ^ | Eric Levenson and Amanda Jackson,

Posted on 05/24/2020 4:23:22 PM PDT by BenLurkin

Scott Pasmore, an anchor for CNN affiliate KTVK, shot the video at Backwater Jacks Bar & Grill in Osage Beach on Saturday.

The gathering violates social distancing measures intended to limit the spread of Covid-19. As part of Missouri's reopening plan announced earlier this month, state officials said restaurants may offer dining-in services but must adhere to social distancing and other precautionary public health measures.

The bar posted on Facebook that this was its launch of a summer party called "Zero Ducks Given Pool Party." It advertised several DJs and bands performing throughout the event.

"The venue has worked with and taken the advice of government officials and management teams and will be following social distancing guidelines. Extra precautions and safety measures will be taken to provide a safe environment for you to enjoy the event," the bar said.

The bar said it would be operating at reduced capacity, attendants would be continually cleaning and sanitizing bathrooms and that there would be a paramedic on staff for the duration of the event.

Wonder how come they didn’t have it at the other well known bar at the Lake of the Ozarks.

The bar is named BIG DICKS HALFWAY INN.

Even without a pandemic I wouldn’t want to hang out in a public pool that was packed.

I’m only seeing a very few examples of ‘overdoing’ it.
Since media would love to scare people, I assume most are just out having responsible and sorely needed recreation.

I saw a ton of Soy Boys and Karen’s on Twitter last night hand-wringing about the gathering. 671 deaths in 6.2 million people.

Lake of the Ozarks has more coastline than California.

Is it any wonder the Stasi found it so easy to recruit informants?
