Despite a series of Memorial Day party photos at the Lake of the Ozarks that drew ire online, tourists and locals alike remain unperturbed about coronavirus.

after being at the lake Memorial Day weekend. The person visited Backwater Jacks, Shady Gators, the Lazy Gators pool and Buffalo Wild Wings and “was likely incubating illness and possibly infectious at the time of the visit,” the statement said.saying that “no laws were broken” and “customers should have the freedom to choose” whether to visit. Hundreds posted supportive comments to social media.

Bechtold, the LakeExpo editor, said many people felt the national media sensationalized the story. He said lakeside pools might have held a few thousand people, but hundreds of thousands were at the lake, most of them acting responsibly."The pictures of the pools,” he said, “were not a very fair and complete representation of what happened here last weekend."

Burdette said he wouldn’t have gotten into the pool shown in the viral video. “On the other hand, we are a tourist community, and if people act responsibly, there are plenty of things to do here,” he said. “We have plenty of room for people to social distance.”

And wheres the outbreak we were promised?

Have you not seen the protests?

It’s almost as if , it mostly kills people of old age with weaker immune systems and people with underlying issues just like the flu would 🤯🤯🤯

Now do the riots.

Doesn't help that the experts have been full of crap the whole time.

Wait... I thought we were no longer concerned about large crowds gathering?

So I guess that vote by mail thing is over?

No blip. The volatility is a function of testing. If anything you would have expected an increase in cases with the increase in testing. Just isn’t happening.

Not my problem. I won’t get it. It’s all a hoax. It’s just the flu. You can’t take my freedom away. I do what I want. Did I get them all?

When are you gonna call the protesters a threat to others? FakeNews

Cool. Now do the protests.

When in Italy 30,000 died, Bolsonaro said it would never happen in Brazil because in Italy the population is young and the climate is cold. There he started calling people to gather on Sundays. He doesn't care about anyone's life. It only cares about 2022

We are not even at two weeks from this event. Most people who get this are asymptomatic, wait two weeks the report on it.

It didn’t seem to stop protestors, if it doesn’t spike, does that mean we were lied too? Stay safe folks

There were no new cases that resulted from that party. If your state is still locked down, it is a result of your Democratic Governor making a power grab.

Where’s the spike? Quit fear mongering and lying
