The city, home to fewer than 7,000, sent a survey to all households asking if they wanted the rally to proceed on its scheduled date. The massive event usually brings in crowds of about 500,000 over 10 days of drag races, contests and concerts. On its 75th anniversary, nearly three quarters of a million people showed.
The councils decision makes a lot of sense. There is no reason to resist what is inevitable. The best thing to do is prepare the best you can.
Thousands of bikers heading to South Dakota’s 10-day Sturgis Motorcycle Rally will not be allowed through Cheyenne River Sioux checkpoints, a spokesman for the Native American group said on Saturday.
The decision to prevent access across tribal lands to the annual rally, which could attract as many as 250,000 bikers amid fears it could lead to a massive, regional coronavirus outbreak, comes as part of larger Covid-19 prevention policy. The policy has pitted seven tribes that make up the Great Sioux Nation against federal and state authorities, which both claim the checkpoints are illegal.
I'm surprised no one has brought this up.
The Sturgis Motorcycle Rally was opposed by 60% of residents. Here's why the city approved it. - CNN
Good for the indian tribes.
The governor is banging hot but stupid to compare the Trump 4th of July celebration to this.

I sympathise with the locals. Here where I live we kind of wish the tourists would stay away and we're talking maybe a thousand mostly camper families. I can understand why a few thousand locals in a small rural community would not look forward to hundreds of thousands from all over the country swarming all over the place, people who aren't known for obedience to authority. Normally I consider that last to be a positive attitude but these aren't normal circs.

There is a time and place. Now is not the time to gather 1/4 million or more people in one place.
But the protests are ok. :lamo

She reminds me of that crazy lady from Minnesota who ran for president a few years ago but whose name escapes me, which is probably a good thing.
Show me a protest of 1/4 million. Maybe if Trump refuses to leave office, eh?
Michele Bachmann
Yep
She was cute, IIRC, in that same dark hair with gray eyes way this governor is.
Same reason Home Depot, Airlines, Kroger, the usual suspects and sacred cows continue to roam

Well, when I go the home depot, and to clothing stores, they are limiting the number of people that can be in at one time, and everyone must wear masks.
But why those places and not Joe's Gym, churches, etc.. That's a rhetorical question

Gyms people tend to breath deep, and exhale a lot of vapor. Churches do a lot of singing, which can be spreading. In my state, churches can hold services if there are 50% capacity, masks and a bit of distancing. They have to fill out paper work and show their plans, but they can have in church services now. Many churches are still doing streaming services instead though.
They have to follow the same guidelines as everyplace else. Masks, and people spreading out.
