While the corona virus continues to spread in the world and some countries have already been declared risk areas again, party images that have appeared are now causing horror.

  • The corona virus is spreading more and more in the world.
  • While some countries may be facing a new lockdown, there is a mega-pool party in a city of millions.
  • The images that have now emerged cause horror.

Wuhan - When the first cases of the novel lung disease of the coronavirus * were reported in China, nobody suspected that the virus would soon turn the whole world upside down. After the first cases in the Chinese city of  Wuhan  in the Hubei province, Covid-19 * spread globally. Hundreds of thousands die in the first months of the pandemic. While many countries are currently struggling with increasing numbers of infections *, including Germany, in many places experts are even speculating about a second wave and further lockdowns, images from the once so affected region in China are now causing horror.

Coronavirus: Mega party causes sheer horror - residents crowded together

The photos clearly show that a concern about a second wave and a renewed lockdown seems to be farther away there. Instead, thousands of people celebrate a gigantic pool party. While the country can currently look forward to summer temperatures, thousands are cooling off in the "Maya Beach" water park with a huge pool party. While the recordings from the weekend go around the world, it becomes clear: nobody wears a mouth and nose cover here. Nobody seems to want to adhere to the distance rules advertised worldwide. In fact, there is almost no water to be seen in the photos, crowded together.

Coronavirus: Rising numbers of infections in Europe - metropolis horrified with mega party

The place where the mega-break has now taken place is exactly the place where the coronavirus * most likely found its origin. Although the metropolis of Wuhan Inn, according to official information, currently reports almost no new infections, one or the other should take their breath away at this sight. Because while Europe, especially Spain, France, England and Croatia are struggling with increasing numbers of infections, the residents of Wuhan seem to be indulging in a cool dip in the mega pool without any worries.

Meanwhile, Chancellor Angela Merkel commented on the Corona situation in Germany - with "concern". It seems possible that after harsh criticism, a long-abandoned practice will return.

Coronavirus infections are currently increasing again in Europe. 19 countries in the EU have already passed a critical limit. Federal ministers also have to take a rest. A minister from Angela Merkel's cabinet takes a break on the beach in Sylt. Can you guess who it is?

The German Minister of Health also seems to be concerned about large party events. Jens Spahn wants to cancel the carnival in spring 2021. He could not imagine the events taking place normally.
