WSJ Torches Flawed "Super-Spreader" Study of Sturgis Motorcycle Rally

WSJ Editorial Board Torches Flawed Study That Blamed Sturgis Motorcycle Rally for Being Super-Spreader Event

Bronson covered this last month. Remember that motorcycle rally in Sturgis, South Dakota. The media warned this could be a so-called “super-spreader” event. The mecca of COVID, right? Well, that’s what they ran with, pinning some 250,000 new cases on this rally. And they used some study that—you guessed it—has been shredded as shoddy, inaccurate, and all-around total garbage. The Wall Street Journal editorial board ripped into this study, the media hysterics, and the explicit hypocrisy regarding how the media become mask fetishists and COVID ‘Karens’ when normal people hold rallies in support of Trump or wanting to reopen their businesses. Yeah, the horror, right?

The left are desperate to pin blame of every global ill on Trump and conservatives.

What a pack of liars.

What a pack of liars.

Yes the 40,000 new cases a day are just a hoax and infectious diseases are just a figment of the lefts imagination. They don't exist and those 200,000 dead were all going to die anyway. Death is good actually.

Yes, Trump and his sycophants are indeed a pack of liars.

So Covid 19 is not contagious? Is that what you believe?

Shouldn't you be citing the WSJ if you start a thread about what they said instead of showing us what someone else says they read in it?
And where does Trump come into the story? Was he at the rally, packing behind Putin maybe?

It is factually true that every single one of the people who died of coronavirus were going to die anyway at some point in the futue

That’s completely hysterical and panicked. Most of the industrialized wealthy globe is just fine now. We’re the only failed viral ****hole among the richies.

It’s why our passports are worthless. Because Trump only ****ed *us.*

Same with the 3000 on 9/11. Fart noise.

What's worse than the Trump haters being so gullible to believe that covid only affects conservative gatherings, is that they believe that magically, it does NOT affect BLM mass gatherings, riots, lootings, burnings and even 93% peaceful protests.
Don't expect to reason, but fully expect them to gulp down any negative hysteria about people with whom they do not agree, gathering as they do.

So are we all. But what does that have to do with dying from an infectious disease?

The WSJ editorial is famous for it's biased, unsubstantiated opinions. So I wouldn't put too much stock in what they say. Better to listen to the science...if you want to live and bring back the economy.

Wow...just look at those goalposts move!

As long as those preapproved scientists promote a liberal-friendly worldview.

And if they ever stray from the Official Narrative, they will be a pariah on the ash heap of gov't grants.

Especially at the end of their lives.

More like goal posts made of logical fallacies.

Same was true of the 9/11 victims. So why bother with anti-terror measures?

Can someone explain how the warnings about distancing and masks are liberal measures? Is “cover your cough“ a liberal slogan? Are seatbelt and car seat laws part of some communist plot? Why have doors covering elevator shafts? .. take personal responsibility.

The source is opinion....that's what editorials are.

So when it comes to Covid-19 it's just a matter of political bias confirmation for you...but I prefer the fact based science.

Do you believe that covid 19 is contagious or not?

Asking dumb questions is not going to absolve the Trump haters who screamed, cried, and tore their teddy bears to shreds over the Sturgis motorcycle rally. The Fake Science News that tried to paint all Trump supporters as super-spreaders has been debunked.

You're just going to have to live with it.

How do you know how many have spread the virus because of that event? Why do you support such behavior?

More than two weeks after nearly half a million bikers flocked to South Dakota, the tally of coronavirus infections traced back to the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally has surpassed 260, an estimate that is growing steadily as more states report cases and at least one death.

At least 12 states have turned up cases linked to the 10-day event.

The greatest share of cases so far have emerged in the rally's home state, South Dakota, which has registered more than 100 cases so far.

A Minnesota man in his 60s who went to the rally was later hospitalized for COVID-19 and died earlier this week, said Kris Ehresmann, head of infectious disease for the Minnesota Department of Health.

Minnesota has counted more than 45 cases tied to the rally, and that only includes people who got tested and then notified state health departments about their possible exposure at Sturgis.

"It's definitely frustrating because we certainly aren't surprised to see cases," said Ehresmann.

Public health experts say the number of cases linked to the event will probably never be clear.

The number could easily be zero, 10, or 10,000. What you can't do?

You can't prove it. All you can do is destroy another teddy bear.
