Darwin and all of that, but how many non-attendees will they spread it to and how many intensive care beds will they tie up and how many medical care providers will become infected caring for all of these exceptionally patriotic citizens?

In my western Wisconsin location, 70+% of Covid 19 is through teens to 3 0 year olds who mostly contact it in bars and other social events. And much of the remaining spread is to the the partner or relative they came home to .

Spread occurring from 60 year olds at Sturgis i s interesting but for our neck of the woods irrelevant.

Meanwhile, in Trumpworld:

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

Dr. Scott Atlas arrived at the White House as a coronavirus contrarian, questioning controls like masks. He has angered top health officials while pushing a suite of disputed policy prescriptions.

WASHINGTON — Dr. Scott W. Atlas has argued that the science of mask wearing is uncertain, that children cannot pass on the coronavirus and that the role of the government is not to stamp out the virus but to protect its most vulnerable citizens as Covid-19 takes its course.

Ideas like these, both ideologically freighted and scientifically disputed, have propelled the radiologist and senior fellow at Stanford University’s conservative Hoover Institution into President Trump’s White House, where he is pushing to reshape the administration’s response to the pandemic.

. . . .

Dr. Atlas is neither an epidemiologist nor an infectious disease expert, the two jobs usually associated with pandemic response. But his frequent appearances on Fox News Channel and his ideological surety caught the president’s eye.

Given how many Harley-riding, Nike Monarch-wearing, likely Sturgis attendees are present throughout the great state of Wisconsin, the possibility of them bringing covid home from Sturgis is not irrelevant.

So far, only 2 cases in Wisconsin have been specifically contact traced back to Sturgis , but give it time.

This list depends on state health departments’ contact tracing efforts, which are inconsistent at best. My wife is actually a contact tracer here in Maryland . They interview people who test positive for covid and ask them where they were for the 2 weeks before their test. Contact tracing is definitely necessary but it’s only as good as each state’s staffing levels and people’s willingness to tell the contact tracers where they’ve been. My wife has experienced the occasional unwilling person who refuses to talk to her, and there have been some incidents including one in upstate NY where there was a big house party that got flagged as a spreader event, but most of the attendees refused to talk to the contact tracers. The health department ended up subpoenaing them.

Some even create the conditions by which the bodies accumulate, then start making a pile so they can climb higher up Dear Leader’s asshole.

If leaders with integrity surround themselves with people who tell them what they don’t want to hear, that makes Trump neither a leader nor a man of integrity, which admittedly surprises exactly no one.

What’s shocking is nearly half of the voters in this country don’t care , and I just don’t know how to get past that fact.

I’d be interested in seeing similar stats and reporting on a broader range of gatherings , but in many cases that would be problematic and for me it would just be idle curiosity .

They don’t care because they are not affected in large part with this.

Well the only silver lining I see in this is it’s likely to affect Trump supporters more... which in turn means fewer votes for Trump in the next election.

I thought the suffering was drawn out longer in these cases; seems to me this person died quickly. And bigly. How long before Trump says something stupid about it?

Fortunately there is already Big Brother Cellphone Tracking in place that can show visualized data . In the interest of equality, there is info on Sturgis, Ocean City, and some yuuuge lake party in the Ozarks:

In summary, everybody is either completely fuct or completely un-fuct, and “they” know where.... basically everybody has traveled to .

That’s one of the most ironic anyone’s said around me in weeks or months. I’d say Well played, Sir , but the sentiment is too irreverent because I personally take prayers seriously. Please infer no judgment on my part, I’m just telling you how I feel.

I can’t be that cynical, but I can be that allusory: it’s not a sliver lining, more like that band around and under the lip of a toilet bowl, that region that gets stained with rust and which is exposed to the air and which takes on a smell that cannot be dispelled.

As loathsome as I find President Trump and his ilk, I won’t wish coronavirus on them because others, some of them innocents, would be put at risk.

Everyone benefits from Big Brother Cell Phone tracking each time they use their cell phones to see the traffic jams ahead on their route, right? Totally insidious.

One might argue that Sturgis gets unfairly much attention, but then again, everything about Sturgis is designed to be in your face, so hey: achievement unlocked.

I’ll check these out this evening.

“I won’t wish coronavirus on them because others, some of them innocents, would be put at risk.”

Oh I’m not wishing it on them either. But if they bring it onto themselves after having been warned , I can’t say I’ll have much sympathy.

Sturgis is larger than Ocean City on a weekly visitor basis, but not an annual basis - OC will see more people coming and going over the course of the entire summer . T he same concept applies though . A buncha out-of-towners visiting for a weekend, coming in from all over the place.

That can be said of any travel destination that is currently open for business. Other vacation spots just aren’t organized events.

Oh I know, but at least where I live we are getting 50 a day locally and almost all are college kids. I suppose one thing we can agree on though is what the heck are bars being allowed to be open in a pandemic. But don’t try to win that battle......

I think in my region we have some people who would adjust their ideas of “reasonable” if they had more specific, relata b le illustrations.

For example, a map of the COVID-19 spread from a recent tournament a couple of hours down the highway might quiet some of the screaming about restrictions on kids’ sports. But that would involve medical data on minors who could likely be identified, which raises all sorts of issues.

Or maybe some research might help a few people here recognize that a sign reading “black lives matter” does n’t protect them from COVID-19. But that would involve tracking people from a political protest, which also raises all sorts of issues (especially with the amount of corruption in our local governments ) .

How’s the downtown doing.? About three times a year for thirty years we have stayed downtown. O nce being always before Christmas we would go and stay downtown in a hotel and shop and eat on State Street. I hate to think that most of the shops and restaurants we have been frequenting may be gone. Little Luxuries, Museum of modern art gift shop, the book store further down, Ragstock, Urban outfitters.

All cool places. I suppose them being gone are first world problems....My favorite recollection of this shit is the picture of a bunch of white college girls running out of a looted shoe store .

Yay Madison “protesters”. Here’s a song for you!
