The visuals from the video can be described as a pool of humans instead of a pool of water as the water surface is clearly covered with more than 50 people ramming into one another in a water resort, in China?s Daquing area.? Clear dismay among the pool-goers could be noticed as they protect themselves from colliding with one another.

The scenes are common as the park is a frequent destination for residents who would want to reduce the summer heat with a cool splash of pool water. But what the video suggests is anything but recreation. The enormous crowd instills fear of communicable diseases and unhygienic conditions in the minds of netizens. And the dangers of drowning or asphyxiation need not be explicitly said. The video is enough to cause panic attacks in netizens. And the comments on the video reflect much more than this.
