"Coronavirus cases linked to the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally in South Dakota have now been identified in eight states.
Nearly 500,000 people attended this year's festival despite warnings about the pandemic, the state said.
Before the event kicked off, experts warned about its potential to become a superspreader event.
And in crowded bars and packed concerts during the 10-day rally, there were few masks in sight, according to photos and videos. "
"Before hundreds of thousands of motorcycle enthusiasts descended upon a small South Dakota town, against many residents' wishes, for the annual Sturgis rally, public-health experts said it could be a catalyst for further spread of the coronavirus.
That's exactly what happened.
Cases stemming from the 460,000-person event, which kicked off on August 7, have now been spotted in eight states: Minnesota, Nebraska, Wisconsin, Montana, Wyoming, North Dakota, and Washington. That's in addition to the cases spotted in South Dakota, where new cases spiked to 251 on August 22 and the seven-day average of new cases continues to climb. Altogether, the cases total more than 100, according to an Associated Press analysis.
Attendees have traveled to more than half of all the counties in the US since the festival wrapped up on August 16, according to anonymous cellphone data from Camber Systems, which was tracking their departures. CNN first reported the location data."
"On stage at a packed concert, Smash Mouth's lead singer mocked the pandemic: "We're being human once again. F--- that COVID s---," he says in a video "
The Sturgis motorcycle rally that experts warned would be a coronavirus superspreader event has been linked to 100 new cases in 8 states

"When government fears the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny."
A lie doesn't become the truth, wrong doesn't become right, and evil doesn't become good just because it is accepted by a majority.

Apparently there were also some killer bikers there as well, if inadvertent.

It was the most irresponsible gathering since the Tulsa rally that killed Herman Cain.

Some die every year from the flu but we don't do all this. No matter how to try to frame this you lose. You can't claim to care about people dying when people die from the flu every year and we don't hear a word from you about it. People can actually see how you people are behaving. You realize that don't you?
