The data also showed a rise in foot traffic at restaurants and bars, retail establishments, entertainment venues, hotels and campgrounds.

The bikers generally did not wear masks or practice social distancing, the study said, citing media reports.

Using data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the researchers then showed that a month following the rally, cases in the county where Sturgis is located rose by six or seven per 1,000.

U.S. counties that contributed the highest numbers of attendees experienced a rise of 7 to 12.5 percent in the number of cases compared to those that did not contribute inflows.

Researchers said their calculations indicated "a total of 263,708 additional cases in these locations due to the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally".

A limitation of the study is that it was based on statistical methods, rather than tracking and surveying rally participants.

So? How else are we going to reach herd immunity?

It's already been proven that the masks and lockdowns didn't help...

[Cleveland33]

Lmao what?

[JMath]

Has anyone seen articles where BLM protests, or any other liberal event has caused the virus to spread? SRS. Someone was actually posting an article saying that the BLM rallies were causing a reduction in number of cases. Meanwhile a motorcycle rally, any Trump rally, the people who protested the lockdown in Michigan... all were responsible for major increases in the number of cases. Seems really odd to me.

[BFast55]

Any word of the last 100 days of mass gatherings/super spreading events taking place in every major city?

Do you actually understand how statistic work? You have to have empirical data points to extrapolate from..."party of science"

I thought you people liked science?

[~Hades~]

So they admit they didn’t talk to any attendants so it’s also possible that 0 cases are from sturgis


Gotta feed the narrative tho!

SD DOH official admits they don't know where COVID-19 infections are coming from, yet attempts to discredit study because it uses cellphone data to track user's movements to inform its study.

State health secretary Kim Malsam-Rysdon said Tuesday that she would caution reporters against “putting too much stock into models” and pointed to earlier estimates by the state that as many as 600,000 South Dakotans would get COVID-19.
“We’ve got more people that are becoming sick with COVID-19 from a source that we can’t identify, so I think that’s where it gets problematic to just attribute things like cellphone data” as the source of infections, Malsam-Rysdon said.

But, no new C-19 cases as a result of all of the peaceful protests, as all of those protesters are genetically immune.

I am an individual.

BLM = complete rona immunity!

There isn’t evidence that Black Lives Matter protests have led to a noticeable increase in COVID-19 cases, despite early concerns from health officials.

Which is really strange since when it first started spreading it was a racist virus that was killing all the poor black people..
