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.

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.
