'SO INTENSE': Outrage as hundreds ignore lockdown to attend wild pool party

A restaurant has copped a wave of backlash after hosting a crowded pool party for the Memorial Day weekend. Video footage filmed on Saturday shows hundreds of people drinking and swimming at Backwater Jacks Bar & Grill in Osage Beach in Missouri while disregarding social distancing rules amid the coronavirus pandemic, St Louis station KMOV-TV reported. The venue advertised the ‘Zero Ducks Given Pool Party’ on Facebook prior to the event, naming the featured DJs and claiming “extra precautions and safety measures” were taken to provide a safe environment.
