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.

I was thinking all those prime youth in the pool won't be getting sick. It's us oldsters that get clobbered. So I just pulled up the Missouri COVID stats...

Looks like it pays to be n your 70s in MO! Just don't make it to 80, though.

But DEATH is an entirely different story. Those kids have nothing to worry about. Surprise, surprise! The state has had FIVE COVID deaths under 40! FIVE And only 61 deaths under age 60.

It would make for a good storyline in Ozark if due to the pandemic and lockdown, Marty had to close the casino and could not launder money. It would put him in a jam and he would have to petition the state to end the shutdown.

Set your clock for 15 days and we will see what happens. Hopefully Missouri will continue to tread down. Not a pretty picture but if there is not rise in cases 15 days from now then we know how the social experiment went at the lake of the Ozarks.

Looking at that picture I’m not thinking coronavirus, I’m thinking enterovirus.

Many of the CV deniers around here keep pointing to the spring break in Florida and say “nothing to see here”.

Of course, when you don’t look you don’t see.

The cell phone data from spring break showed the largest number of spring breakers returned to their home state—and the state with the largest number of returnees was....

Illinois.

I leave it as an exercise to see how Illinois has been doing the last few weeks.
