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.
Do you also drink and drive and not wear a seatbelt also?
I'll bet that when seatbelts were first mandated, there was probably also a fuss from some people about not wanting to submit to the government's ideas for safety. And I do know that there was an outcry from manufacturer's about the unnecessary burden that would make cars unaffordable.
