Love the headline. It’s 330 cases.

South Dakota counted 3,819 new cases in the past two weeks, including seven deaths, up from 644 cases in the 14 days preceding it.

So the idea is everyone and all disease stayed in one county? I didn’t expect that spin.

Oh no, they left there and went all over the place.

Including all over South Dakota. Just like last year.

All over the country. While the lollapoozy all stayed right there in Chicago.

Slight difference between Sturgis and Lollapalooza. Wanna guess what it is?

Least surprising headline in a long time. Is anyone surprised? I’m hoping someone will spin this. What will it be? Coincidence? Bad numbers? Illegal immigrants? Anything but the obvious, I assume. Can’t wait to see the reasoning!

South Dakota Covid cases quintuple after Sturgis motorcycle rally

Meade County, home to Sturgis, has had a more than 1,500 percent increase in cases in the past 14 days.

No spin. It may be exactly due to this. What’s your point?

[conan]

I rest my case.

You have no idea what it takes to do that.

People getting together in large groups without vaccination, social distancing or masks is a bad idea. Compare Sturgis to Lollapalooza. Lollapallooza required a negative test or proof of vaccination and there has been no evidence of a super spreader event.

The point is we are not at a point where people can pretend things are back to normal and not have consequences.

Show evidence that it was.

There is evidence Sturgis was. There is no evidence Lollapalooza was. Or is this another gut feeling/I don’t believe anything that doesn’t fit the narrative thing?

Over 200 case jump. Oh I know, the media says…

200?

330 in Sturgis, population 7,000.
3,800 in SD, population 900,000.

Or is the spin we care about absolute and not per capita numbers?

Funny how it changes to “per capita” when the narrative requires it

I would submit that per capita should be the norm when making comparisons, wouldn’t you agree?

Dr. Allison Arwady said there is “no evidence” Lollapalooza was a super-spreader event.

The point is we are not at a point where people can pretend things are back to normal and not have consequences.

I agree it’s not a good idea. I also agree we’re not at the point of acting as if everything is normal. But what of it? There are a lot of things people do that isn’t a good idea. But people do them anyway. If I were big into motorcycles I’d probably be there right with them. Your opinion isn’t changing anything. You take steps to take care of yourself. Don’t expect me, or anyone else to help you.

You cannot buy into what you are typing.

200 vs 330 cases and one is a SUPER spreader and the other is not.

■■■■■■■ hilarious!!

[WuWei]

I agree. None of the three were good ideas.

Excusing two while criticizing one because of party is hypocrisy.
