SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — The hundreds of thousands of bikers who attended the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally may have departed western South Dakota, but public health departments in multiple states are trying to measure how much and how quickly the coronavirus spread in bars, tattoo shops and gatherings before people traveled home to nearly every state in the country.
Thanks, Sturgis, for letting this disaster fucking happen.
61% of all the counties in the U.S. have been visited by someone who attended Sturgis, creating a travel hub that was comparable to a major U.S. city.
In The Stand, they called it “Captain Tripps.” In the here and now, we should call it the Trump Plague.
Real men drink Coors Light.
Do you mean that you are for the rally or think that it should not have happened, I’m not clear on what you mean.
Laconia Bike Week ends August 30th. So far, the Meredith schools have an in-person option for school, but something tells me we aren’t going to be able to keep the infection rate where it needs to be for schools to open in-person on 9/8.
Selfish grown-ass a-holes.
Excellent point. I edited the post for clarity.
I HAVE THE CURE!!!
EVERYBODY BEND OVER.
IT’S BLEACH BOOF TIME.
Fuck you discobot. Yes, they are complete sentences. The fucking body is fucking clear.
I honestly don’t care about those people. If Grievance Culture (a term I just coined) is what turns them on, then now they have something to have a legitimate grievance over–their own fucking stupidity and ignorance, which will literally kill many of them, along with people they come in contact with.
Don’t be that person–wear PPE, keep your distance, vote Dem.
Sturgis is Toxic Masculinity writ large (with Corporate Sponsorship!)
Or it will be after the Bleach Boof.
Hundreds of thousands of people gathered together to express their unique individualism.
It’s simple… just stay away from those fornicators, something that most of us do pandemic or not.
It’s aerosolized so yes. Of course.
Sons of Fuckwittery.
Born to be Wildy Stuuuuuupid!
Thinning of the shallowest end of the gene pool.
Nothing more. Except for all the deaths of innocent people their Freedumb results in.
Yes but I’m really liking the trend just the same. The infection rate is slowing down here and increasing up in the Rust Belt. And among Trumpers who won’t take it seriously.
At this rate a percentage of them won’t be voting.
This article doesn’t mention it, but the Sturgis city government really wanted to cancel the rally. The concern was that the bikers would defiantly show up anyway and the town wouldn’t be prepared at all so they reluctantly moved forward with the rally in hopes of having some control over the situation.
