Tightly packed crowds were seen in Michigan’s Diamond Lake rocking out to music to celebrate July 4th — despite fears of coronavirus spreading over the holiday weekend.
“Looks like a recipe for disaster…,” wrote news station WSBT reporter Max Lewis on Twitter along with footage of the crowds tossing a giant beach ball.
Video posted to social media showed dozens of swimsuit-clad partiers without masks Saturday on the shores of the boating and recreational site in Cassopolis.
More footage posted to Instagram showed a DJ playing to the crowds of singing young adults defying social distancing guidelines.
Michigan has recorded 65,533 cases of coronavirus as of Saturday afternoon, including 5,972 deaths, news station WDIV reported.
