Public health experts — and some locals — worry the rally will again play host to coronavirus infections, after hundreds of rallygoers were infected last year.

However, public health experts — and some locals — were not worried the US-Mexico border will play host to coronavirus infections, after hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens arrived at the border and tested positive this year.

Hooligan Ping.

700000 is like a half month of illegal immigration.

Yeah, there was no ‘Sturgis spike’ last year.

But they sure wanted one. And they desperately want one this year.

Where is the test for the delta. How do you know if you have the variant or the other. Regular or extra crispy.

"There’s a kinda of a low, background rumble, all over the world..."

Yes! Imagine that. People who just want to get on with their lives and are willing to tell our overlords to stuff it.

Unless it somehow morphs mysteriously into a gay orgy (and it won’t) , there isn’t boing to be another Providence Town type event.

Wow, can’t believe it has been a year since we were there...super great time, great people.

[CincyRichieRich]

Left turns sucked...that was my only complaint.

I left from Mt Rushmore for home on Tuesday. The bikers were a massive presence in the area.

My brother is up there having a blast!

My cousin was there LAST YEAR. One of the Hill brothers of ZZ Top (who recently passed away), played live on one of the stages.

There were LOTS of Trump-MAGA stores at almost every corner. And 95% (his observation) were MASKLESS, plus he witnessed ONE of the biker gangs beat up 3 Antifa guys by himself. It was unreal and awesome.

[max americana]

see post 32, my cuz was there last year. Man, you are a lucky. Vs 2019, told us there were more women, including the bikini bike washers LOL.

[max americana]

They did the “super spreader” crap last year. It wont end and WONT STOP right wingers from going there. MY cousin was there last year. I’m scheduled for next year.

[Rebelbase]

IIRC, either google or apple, maybe both, used cellphone location data to track the travel routes of those who attended Sturgis last year.

They then produced maps and “coordinated” the destinations with an “increase” of COVID blaming the rally attenders for it.

Keep the vaccinated away and things should be fine

[South Dakota]

I rode my Sportster to trailer week

[TheDon]

Thank you to the rally attendees for helping us reach herd immunity!

[Lisbon1940]

Yup. Seems they’re allowing Easterners into Deadwood again. What a shame.

“It’s just a great big family atmosphere" Seriously?
