I’m sure the big South Dakota contact tracing team will have that buttoned up i n no time, oh wait...

I have a cousin who is a police officer that has worked contract for the Sturgis rally several times, (not this past one thank gosh,) but he assures me that covid19 isn’t the only disease that was transmitted.

Well, it’s also possible (if unlikely) that more attendees died in crashes than will die from the virus.

Won’t the Jeep people get upset if you send them MOAB?

Yeah, the direct impact (may) not be too bad here, but the fact all these people gathered together and will then happily fan out (maskless for the most part) across the country is the bigger danger.

“The motorcyclist was pronounced dead at the scene. Authorities are investigating if a helmet was used.”

Weird, they had it set up so only 50% of the people would go to a certain bar one day, the other 50% the next . A hybrid schedule if you will. Who ever could’ve seen this coming?
