The Hill said:Sturgis Motorcycle Rally was 'superspreading event' that cost public health $12.2 billion: analysis

The Sturgis Motorcycle Rally in South Dakota last month was a coronavirus “superspreading event” that led to an estimated $12.2 billion in public health costs, according to a new study by the IZA Institute of Labor Economics.
The analysis tracked anonymized cellphone data from the 10-day event that showed “smartphone pings from non-residents” and “foot traffic at restaurants and bars, retail establishments, entertainment venues, hotels and campgrounds each rose substantially.” Stay-at-home hours for local residents fell during the same time period.
Based on the increase in case count, the researchers group, estimated that cases connected to the gathering resulted in $12 billion in public health costs, not including the costs associated with any deaths that might be tied to cases from the event. That dollar amount is based on another estimation that an average of $46,000 is spent on each patient who tests positive for COVID-19.
Researchers concluded that more than 266,000 cases were tied to the event....

****ing assholes. This is why the coronavirus has no end in sight.
I ride myself, but if I die will be the road kills me, not some stupid party to empty my wallet and give me a slow death of COVID....
if anyone is going to sue the organizers for their gross negligence, they had better do it soon. Moscow McTurtle is trying to to take the ability to do that away.
I can't help but wonder whether there were any Sturgis attendees that live in Bonn.
Dems are nuts nuts nuts if they give McConnell that without strict standards.
And definitely it’s a no without stimulus to protect elections and added UI for unemployed.
I think I need to be involved in the negotiations.

They guess, calculate, and speculate. Meanwhile...there were actually 265 cases of individuals that MAY have contracted the virus at Sturgis and there remains only ONE death...an over 60 y/o male with multiple co-morbid diagnosis. With nearly 400,000 attendees. In the state of Minnesota, they claim there were 25 cases overall that MAY have been related to Sturgis...in a state that averages over 650 NEW cases every single day.
Meanwhile...studies demonstrate that through the end of August there are some 150,000 'despair deaths'...people that have committed suicide or died of drug overdoses or other related factors because they like you lived their lives in fear of a virus that is eminently survivable.
This remains a ridiculous political charade.
You people should feel free to dig a deeper hole and go ****ing hide in it til the politicians tell you its safe to come out.
Thanks for that alt-right **** on the rug. Too bad it's complete nonsense as per usual with your posts....
Imagine a virus so 'deadly' that you need a test to know if you even had it.
I dont know whats worse...how readily they know they can **** you over, or how eager you are to prove them right.
What do you ride?
I have two Softails and a Road-King, my riding days are probably in tthe rear view mirror......
Imagine not understanding what a carrier is, and that they occur with varying frequencies with almost any disease.
At some point you have to figure as readily as you bend over for them, you must like it.

H-D is big in Germany and Europe, in general. Sturgis usually draws from across the world. What are you driving at?

The folks who did the study are in Bonn.
You don't have to ride to go to Sturgis. Just trailer your favorite bike there, parking lot ride, and pose like everyone else does.
