Anyone not living in the great state of denial can see that clear as day.

Bikers are scattered across the entire area. Our group never even went into the town of Sturgis.

The first signs generally don't show up until at least a week after infection. The deaths usually don't show up until at least a couple of weeks after symptoms. Then there is the process after death of tracing where the infection occurred.

Getting the virus itself is pretty rare, provided you take precautions. It's proven that the spread can be very effectively reduced if people wear masks, wash hands, clean surfaces and keep a prudent distance. Just to be clear, asymptomatic people can spread the virus just the same as symptomatic people. The virus is still in their bodies just as it is for people who show symptoms. If they sneeze or cough due to seasonal allergies, they will spray the virus just as if they had symptoms.

We can just accept what our eyes tell us. There is plenty of footage of thousands of people crammed together in bars and in the streets. I'm mean it's not like they went out there for a party or anything. [&o]

Do you think people that die from COVID just drop dead as soon as they get it? • Sturgis began 34 days ago. • The incubation period for COVID is 2-14 days. Average is around 1 week. • It takes about one week to become severely ill after getting symptoms*. • A day-to-day breakdown of Coronovirus symptoms puts death at close to 20 days after symptoms appear.

paulgly -> RE: Covid 19 and those infected (9/9/2020 1:26:38 PM)
I've actually been to the rally four times. I drove through downtown Sturgis this year out of curiosity (in a pickup, windows up). I'd say the crowd was down from where I had seen it in the past but still far, far too many people during a pandemic (I didn't get all that close to the bars in town - just a quick pass through). And some of the bigger events/concerts take place outside of downtown at places like the Buffalo Chip and Full Throttle. I drove past the Full Throttle (probably about 15-20 minutes outside of downtown Sturgis and I'd never seen so many bikes parked as there were this year. And this was a Friday afternoon. It is true that there are a significant number of folks who go to the rally and spend very little if any time downtown. And I don't buy the study that says 250k infected. But that shouldn't distract from the main point that it was still a really, really bad idea.
