A Houston-area waterpark reopened in defiance of state orders on Saturday, May 23, and attracted a line of hundreds of people, most of whom did not wear face-coverings or practise social distancing.

Waterparks across the state were prohibited from opening under Gov. Greg Abbott’s executive order issued May 6 that aimed to limit the spread of coronavirus.

However, Big Rivers Waterpark in New Caney, northeast of Houston in Montgomery County, said it would open with at a “limited capacity” of 2,020 guests in the park at any one time. The waterpark’s CEO and developer Monty Galland told local media that staff would be required to wear face masks when interacting with the public.

Footage taken by Monya McDaniel from the morning of the reopening shows long lines. “There are four lines for entry here at Big Rivers and we all just found out all the season pass holders need to be ‘re-processed’ before we get in,” McDaniel said. “There is also a massive line out in the parking lot of non-season pass holders.”

Even he knew it would be safer in the long run.

2. Yes. A little E.coli goes well with Covid - 19.

Add some Cryptosporidium while you're at it.
