In pictures: Wuhan pool parties bring post-coronavirus relief in China
Wuhan residents are letting loose by rocking at nighttime pool parties at the popular Maya Beach Water Park.
For more than two months, the 11 million residents of Wuhan endured a strict lockdown as coronavirus raced around the city in central China.
Now, some are letting loose en masse at rocking nighttime pool parties at a popular amusement park chain. The Wuhan Maya Beach Water Park reopened in late June, and the crowds have picked up this month.
In order to enter the Wuhan water park, party-goers need to reserve tickets online in advance with their national ID number. On the day, they need to present their ID and a green health code generated from mobile apps that track people’s movements and whether they are subject to virus quarantine.

The mightiest country on Earth that can achieve just about anything. China is a great source of emulation for the world. Only months ago the city of wuhan was a virtual prison and now Wuhanians are enjoying freedom like never before.

Indian trolls must be deeply disappointed to see Chinese parting while their own country reaching 3 million mark in Covid infections. That’s the difference between a real leader (Xi) and an incompetent worthless one (Modi)

Great for China. But we are in Pakistan. We are not China. Have some decency (I didn't look at pictures, them but I am pretty sure that wouldn't be meeting our religious and cultural values because I have lived abroad and I know what happen in such events)

Unlike what the world was told by China, a lot of young people in Wuhan were infected with Covid-19 and now have herd immunity. Herd or community immunity occurs when more than 50% of the community is immune to a disease through a prior illness, making the spread of that disease from person to person unlikely. Even individuals not vaccinated (such as newborns and the immune-o-compromised) are offered some protection because the disease has little opportunity to spread within the community.

Looks staged to me. Real pool parties don't look so orderly. Look at everyone's faces. They are too close as well.
