Maybe it's something that just went on the back burner due to other news but do we have any updates on how many are sich, dying, dead, and have infected others yet? It's been at least three weeks since the rally started and at least two weeks since everyone left. We should be seeing that mushroom cloud like explosion of cases by now, shouldn't we?

It would take a month to see the spike unless people were proactive in getting tested.
The first group would be the attendees, then you will have the secondary infections, then tertiary infections. That is not something that occurs overnight. With Covid 19 taking up to 14 days to lead to symptoms any spike has yet to occur
A Minnesota biker who attended the 80th annual Sturgis Motorcycle Rally in South Dakota two weeks ago has died of COVID-19, the first death linked to the 400,000-person event.
The man, who was in his 60s, had underlying conditions and was in intensive care for several weeks after coming home from the rally, a spokesperson for the Minnesota Department of Health confirmed to The Daily Beast, adding that Minnesota has recorded at least 50 coronavirus cases associated with Sturgis.
His case is one of at least 260 related to the event, according to analysis by The Washington Post, which first reported the death. Epidemiologists say that figure is likely to be a significant undercount and the actual number may never be known because many attendees who return to their home towns are reluctant to be tested or provide contact tracing details.
Cellphone data collated and analyzed by research firm Camber Systems found that 61 percent of all U.S. counties had been visited by a Sturgis attendee.
Before the nine-day rally—believed to be the largest event held worldwide during the coronavirus pandemic—health professionals had grave safety concerns and provided warnings to steer clear of the congested event.
The Daily Beast reported that some community members confronted City of Sturgis Mayor Mark Carstensen and the City Council at a hearing, warning that it was a “huge, foolish mistake” to host the rally this year.
“We have freedom, but we also have responsibility,” ICU nurse Linda Janovy said at the June 10 hearing. “You are not going to make everybody happy. Your responsibility is to keep the public safe, as safe as you can.”
Sturgis is a little different than other gatherings as participants are on their motorcycles a good portion of the time. It is the gathering of crowds in indoor bars and eateries that could produce spread of the virus.

Really? Trump's convention speech was less than a week ago and we already know that we had at least 4 infections traced to the rally in Charlotte. - Access Denied

There was also the Sturgis motorcycle rally last month, which state health officials have linked to more than 100 cases of South Dakotans contracting Covid-19. The number of people infected at the state’s universities ballooned from less than 50 in mid-August to more than 550 by the end of the month. There have been another 200 cases reported recently in K-12 schools.
