And “testing positive” means exactly jack and squat re: contagious.

The individual may have had covid months ago and be over it completely and still can test positive.

And, a crap ton of testing is bogus giving both false positives and false negatives.

I would expect that there some COVID positives in a group that size. I also wouldn’t be surprised if the Dems sent in a few infected ANTIFA types to make sure.

Smashmouth? I’d have expected Jon Bonamassa or Canned Heat.

Never heard of Jon Bonamassa, and Canned Heat is from the 60s. People who listened to Canned Heat, if they're still alive, are in a nursing home or they're too old and fragile to ride a Harley to Sturgis. Smashmouth is way closer in age to the older Sturgis crowd of today. I'm in my 60s and Canned Heat is before my time. I've heard of them, but I don't relate to them and couldn't name a single song of theirs. Smashmouth is from my era.

Lots of alcohol and sun.

Sounds like a pretty benign combo to me.

Maybe he was faking Covid like Chris Cuomo?

People! The story here is that, despite frantic efforts by the media. this is all they could come up with.

400,000 people NOT masking or “social distancing” and ONE possible positive MAY have infected someone else.

We are now 14 days after the opening of the rally and ONE person MAY have tested positive-—probably without any symptoms.

When is some politician going to have the stones to say, “Screw it. Time to get back to normal?

I'm 70 and remember Canned Heat well. I'm not in a nursing home and in very robust health. Never heard of Smashmouth.

“you KNOW that the DEMON-CRATS will send in INFECTED people with the PLAGUE into big conservative Republican get togethers”

It’ll help us reach herd immunity more quickly. Bring it on.

That’s why you should always have several Gin and Tonics.

Many of those gathered did not wear masks or keep distance from others, most notably at a concert for the rock band Smash Mouth.

Oh the irony!   I don't think wearing masks and social distancing is a very high priority for anyone watching Smash Mouth and only an idiot would call attention to it.

It’s funny that the main stream media, the CDC, Dr. Fauci, and many other people weren’t worried about people catching AIDS as a result of going to bars back in the 1980s when that awful virus arrived on the scene.

Smashmouth is from my era.

Smashmouth years active 1994–present.

So, you're saying you didn't listen to any music for twenty years until Smashmouth came along?

I'm sixty seven.   I never listened to Smashmouth and could not even identify one of their songs from a list.

FYI:
Canned Heat performed at Woodstock at sunset on Saturday and got the audience on their feet with their hard-driving American roots/blues music.
