Many have responded to the video with concern, while others have cheered on the fact that people are out.

The video was posted to Twitter by Scott Pasmore, an Arizona anchor for KTVK-3TV, with the caption:"No covid concerns at the lake of the ozarks." It had 4.4 million views as of Sunday morning."It screws it up for the rest of us who are taking this pandemic seriously...their negligent behavior affects us ALL," one Twitter user commented.

"Great to see this," another wrote."The lockdown was the single worst public policy decision in the history of our country." , more than a quarter of the 341,000 deaths worldwide, according to the Johns Hopkins University data dashboard. There are more than 5.3 million confirmed cases around the globe, and 1.6 million in the United States alone.two local hairstylists tested positive for coronavirusThe announcement came just days after city officials announced plans to relax even more distancing requirements and about a week after the health department started seeing an influx of new infections related to travel.

Health department director Clay Goddard said local health care and public health agencies still had enough capacity to pinpoint the origin of infections and potential spread."I'm going to be honest with you. We can't have many more of these," he said during a press briefing Friday."We can't make this a regular habit or our capability as a community will be strained and we will have to re-evaluate what things look like going forward.

The media need to stop vilifying Americans for wanting to continue with life

It’s times like these true character is shown! Which side are you on. Smart and safe or dumb And dead!

Knowing full well when this COVID pandemic started mistakes would be made (we've made them in every viral outbreak) & that there's no way anyone could control what everyone else was going to do, I'm left trying to think positive. People like that are building herd immunity.

Shame on Governor Parsons, the owner and Trump for opening too soon🤯

They celebrate Memorial Day for the Armed forces who Protect the great Americ past and future. YET CAN NOT STAY indoors to PROTECT THE FAMILYS OF THE ARMED FORCES. TELLS YOU SOMETHING RIGHT THERE ABOUT CERTAIN INDIVIDUALS

What is most baffling to me is (pandemic or not) why would anyone want to go in a pool that crowded? If I saw that, I'd turn around and leave.

You know what they say snitches get stitches and end up in ditches..In this case the snitches will probably be the ones getting sick cause they dont mind they business.

They might have it right:

This is a crowd of people like Donnie, he is off playing golf, making extra money selling memberships, and couldn't care less about anyone but themselves. These are the same people out spreading germs thinking it is their right to infect the world.

The Covid virus.

Please any USA citizen above 20 years of age, preferably women should DM me directly, it urgent and only for trust worthy people.

Very selfish

Darwin will solve the problem....survival of the (mental) fittest....😜

Ignorant &/or Selfish! Definitely, Dangerously Reckless & DISRESPECTFUL to Others; most especially, to those who they NEED should they battle the Virulent Covid-19 Virus, FIRST RESPONDERS & FRONTLINE WORKERS!

Karma's going to be a Bitch!

There are two types of people who will tell you that you cannot make a difference in this world: those who are afraid to try and those who are afraid you will succeed. 🇺🇸🤔🤐

As long as they stay out of the severely contaminated lake they should be fine .

Such nice things will be said at their funerals!

With almost 100000 coronavirus patient’s deaths in USA, Stupidity at its best! Protect yourself, wear mascs, keep distance , protect everyone else! Life is more important ! Wake up USA voters! Vote blue no mater who !

Having fun is more important than anything else.

Their choice .

So these assholes can exercise their rights , because they are low risk. The high risk groups have to stay in ? How selfish is that thinking 🤔

That’s OK, the human population just continues to soar while animal population and the environment continue to diminish..maybe a few months from now those tables will start turning.

It is concerning. It”s also politics. If you are conservative it’s a badge of honor to say you don’t care and aren’t concerned at all. The bump in the road is that more cases and deaths are going to happen as a result and we may be worse off.

Nobody is saying you can’t go out side but you need to wear a mask

Disturbing how they could have a party

Honestly I went to appreciate Mr Aventin Levina after investing with him, I was patient after 3 days, I received my profit of $20,063 with an investment $1,400 sir! You have brought so much light into my life and family, thanks a lot sir aventinlevina

This is really scary for these people involved. I completely understand wanting to get out of the house but hopefully no one gets sick.

I wonder if this is why the Spanish flu’s death toll was so much higher during the second wave?

Virus or no virus I wouldn’t be in that water.

So very frustrating. I blame the facility for allowing that overcrowding. Target had an employee with a counter at the door when I was there yesterday. I had to wait to enter until someone left. I didn’t mind & give them props for doing the responsible thing.

When my children were young, after trick or treating, I would let them take a few pieces a day because I knew that, if I gave them the entire bag, they would eat every last bit in a short amount of time: and I would be home with sick children! Period!

And soon they will be in .... a Hospital!

Further evidence of the dumbing of america. Ventilators for all.

The business should be fined $1,000 per person at the pool. This would send a message that protecting people’s lives comes first before having fun.

Good thing we're keeping the Brazilians out to keep this thing from spreading

We will morn those who cheered and then passed away, wondering was that a necessary sacrifice or preventable stupidity?

You won’t hear another thing about this unless one person get Corona.

I have no concerns. Let them die.

Time to escape the leftstream media hysteria.

Ratchetness in Trump territory! Not surprising at all to see such ignorance & stupidity for a swim & to be seen.

Add me on Snapchat Avasophia2311 for my nudes. I do hookups too

We will see if this ends up badly. For the sake is all, I hope not.

Morons

Let’s see what happens, hope everything is fine in two weeks 🙏

Fck this liberal control. Don’t you see Trump is a landslide victory.

Thinning out the numbers. Oh goodie...

This would be in the Ozarks. They wanna be Florida so bad.

I hope they realize when they go home they have a good chance of infecting their entire family.

I wonder how much pool water is in that urine.

Looks like a lot of fun!

Oh now USA Today wants some attention. Ok. Hi.

Looks like a possible virus feeding frenzy.

susie_broddle You warned me, lol!

Just wait for the Chinese Virus Vaccine... then the numbers will REALLY spike

If this angered you...you’re a Karen. If you’re a Karen, you should be placed on the back of a horse and cast out from society.

That, dear friends, is virus soup.

Some people are done with this pandemic so there for they will crowd the beach and the pool...

And the new surge starts in 3,2,1......

Covid19 has taken more lives than Ebola in this country, but if this were Ebola, you can bet that these fools would be taking it more seriously. Imagine Trump saying Ebola was the latest Democrat hoax and then people got Ebola and went out coughing on people. Wouldn't happen.

“Let’s get a bucket of Coronas over here!” the young man with an older man’s dad bod yelled from the waist deep pool. Adult Swim at Lake of the Ozarks

How does your mind deceive you? ' Free yourself' your mind is obsessed with what other minds are thinking (mind reading). Your mind is horribly competitive and insecure, comparing you to the neighbors, co-workers, friends..

In my opinion., too close for comfort🥺

I have no problem with these people gathering together and enjoying themselves while turning their noses up to the rest of society just as long as they stay there and get sick together.

USAToday, by Father’s Day, we will all know if this reckless behavior was worth bring the Coronavirus Back Home with them. I’m not saying it’s good or bad, just saying let’s see how Father’s Day weekend will turn out. 🙏🏼

Hopefully those that cheered read The New York Times today

Well for one thing the water looks disgusting and is probably full of urine.

None of them will die from the Coronavirus because they're not in any high risk group.

25,000 lies. Italian parliament NOW.

So many morons. Smh.

Problem solved.

The odds of dying from coronavirus for people with no preexisting condition is less than 1%.

Let the lemmings die.

Amendment 1 Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble...

Even without the pandemic, who would want to wade into that chlamydia sewer?

Nothing says freedom like soaking in 20% solution of piss with your drunken friends.

The Swedish experiment looks like it’s paying off. '530 patients in intensive care”, twice that in ICU. Sweden's population is 10 million.

I wish I could slap them. Like WHAT ARE YOU DOING FFS!?!?!? The pandemic is not over!!!! Makes me so mad

Human Darwinism experiment

i will not lament if these pridefully defiant catch the deadly pathogen and painfully learn to respect it more.

In three weeks they can drain the pool and turn it into a mass burial vault, and cement it over and landscape it nicely.

You'll make international news before the weekend is over.
