A Lake of the Ozarks Partier Has Tested Positive for COVID-19

A partier at a Lake of the Ozarks Memorial Day bash that flouted social distancing has tested positive for the new coronavirus. The health department in Camden County, Missouri, where the Lake of the Ozarks is located, announced Friday that a resident of Boone County, Missouri had likely come to the pool party, which drew massive crowds into close quarters, with an incubating case of COVID-19, potentially infecting hundreds of others. Officials provided a detailed timeline of the person’s comings and goings, which included stops at Buffalo Wild Wings, pools, and bars, and those who visited the same locations were advised to monitor themselves for symptoms. Local government officials previously expressed shock at the gathering’s flagrant disregard for coronavirus precautions and advised all revelers to quarantine to prevent the spread of infection.

1. A giant iceberg of idiots.

Right now we can only see the tip.

2. "...advised all revelers to quarantine."

Seriously? Is anyone at all confident that this mob of ignorant, self-indulgent yahoos will self-quarantine? Expect a massive spike in the number of cases.

3. Sadly, it was only a matter of time until the first case popped up.

It's likely this was a superspreader event.

4. I really don't care, Do U?

Just don't give a damn about these idiots. My only concern is that they are going to go out into the world, unprotected, and infect innocent people who are trying to be careful. I could give a damn what happens to them.

6. I worry more about the protesters the last 3 days

I really wish the used the masks, distance, and only 10 in a group. Yes some were good but quite a few were not in compliance.

5. Just one?

7. Play stupid games...

8. Wha? I would have never guessed that would've happened

not in a million years would I have thought that anyone that went there would be stricken with the corona!

Color me surprised!
