ABC News - Wuhan pool parties bring post-coronavirus relief in China
At the RNC, Republicans have been attacking China's response to COVID-19. So, how is that going on in ground zero where a strict lockdown was first imposed?

BEIJING -- 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.
Wuhan was the epicenter of the coronavirus outbreak in China and saw the most deaths. The city and most of the surrounding province was locked down from late January to early April. People couldn’t leave or enter the city and were mostly restricted to their homes.
The spread of the disease has been all but eradicated in China, though isolated outbreaks pop up sporadically.
