July 4 is showing that many Americans don’t care, coronavirus cases are on the rise again, which is in line with the new White House message … just live with it.
A handful of water-based locations, including a water park and two lakeside blowouts, brought in crowds of people this holiday weekend in Wisconsin, Missouri, and Michigan … all of which are seeing their own waves in confirmed diagnoses. of COVID-19.
Noah’s Ark water park in the Dells. After all, this is a great crowd. I’ve seen a couple of people in masks. Listen to GM parks tonight at # News3Now @ WISCTV_News3 pic.twitter.com/lgRJ9aqbyr

However, that didn’t matter to these people: They were ready to get wet and freak out for Independence Day, and it shows because of the little importance they are giving to security precautions.
At Noah’s Ark Water Park in Wisconsin Dells, WI, hardly anyone was 6 feet apart from each other as they filled the wave pool. And obviously the masks were out of the window: studies say they are ineffective if they get wet, making an immediate lost cause here.
Waiting for your permission to upload the Instagram media.
Elsewhere in Missouri … the same bar adjacent to Lake of the Ozarks, Backwater Jack’s, moved forward with its planned July 4 blowout, which they dubbed No Ducks Given. Between Friday and Saturday, the place once again looked like a can of sardines.
And, in Michigan, another lake party was underway on Saturday … Diamond Lake in Cass County was packed to the guts along its shores with furious partiers all day.

We have seen this behavior throughout the spring and early summer, since the United States went on high alert and the states it was in full-blown locks. While shelter-in-place orders appeared to flatten the curve, there has been an explosion of new cases following the reopening.
And yet … bad and dangerous behavior continues, despite what the CDC and other health officials have to say. The question … what’s next? Welp President TrumpManagement appears to have an answer, according to a new report anyway. It’s simple … live life at your own risk. The thing is … he’s been putting people, his own supporters, in danger celebrating reckless protests without social distancing and few masks.
NBC News reports that big wigs in Trump’s cabinet are on the rise for the new message to the American people … that the virus is here, and we must move on independently.
Ironically, it seems that a large part of the country is already doing it, condemning the consequences. So … continue? 😬
