124 cases have been linked to a rally that was over a quarter of a million people.

I'd say they did pretty damn good.

Lol, that's a lie. It's 250,000 cases. 19% of all cases in August, and $12,000,000,000 in medical expenses.

An amazingly good example of how not to manage a pandemic.

Bullshit.

Was Sturgis Motorcycle Rally Responsible for 250K Coronavirus Cases?

The public health risks of Sturgis were so rigorously studied by the authors that “no medical journal would touch it,” as bestselling author and public health writer Alex Berenson noted on Tuesday. Instead, the report was posted on the website of the obscure Insitute of Labor Economics, a leftwing German thinktank.

Our infotainment industry — formerly known as “the mainstream media,” and prior to that as “the news business” — went bonkers over the claim.

So what? It's a relief fund. You know what I used my Covid relief funds for? I painted my deck.

It's relief fund. You can use it for anything you want. And of course there is a surge of CASES after a rally.

So what?

Do tell... what could they have spent the money on, that would have magically reduced the number of cases? Please, let me hear your brilliant thoughts on this. What magic should they have spent the money on to make Covid go away? Let's hear it.

Buy masks for the stupid MF's

There is zero evidence that masks prevent or slow down, or do anything in stopping Covid-19.

Denmark actually encouraged citizens to NOT wear masks. They have lower levels of infection than we do.

China on other hand, were in fact wearing masks BEFORE the covid-19 outbreak. If the masks prevented the spread of Covid, it should have never spread in China to start with. They've been wearing masks in mass, since SARS.

There is hardly any consistent evidence between countries that had harsh lock down measures, and countries that did not, that correlates to their Covid numbers. Barely any at all.

Some countries had tough measures, and had high numbers, and others low numbers.
Other countries had barely any measures at all, and some had high numbers and some had lower numbers.

Sweden, Denmark, Finland, all did fairly little, and the result was lower rates of infection than the US or the rest of Europe.

UK, Italy and elsewhere, had huge lock down measures, and had massive numbers of Covid patients.

Even within the US, some states that did very little, have had relatively few deaths, and others had massive lock downs, and had huge numbers of deaths.

No evidence to support "masks do anything".

And by the way, you do know that the World Health Organization, said and has maintained that making people wear masks who are not sick.... is not recommended? You do know that right?

So, no. Buying a billion masks would not do anything. No evidence whatsoever that wearing a mask prevents anything. None. Zero. You can't point to a single peer reviewed research paper done anywhere, that suggests mask wearing has any positive effect.

*IF YOU CAN*.... please post a link to such a report, and I will read it. If you post actual scientifically verifiable evidence, I will change my mind. But i want to read the research, and read what they did, how they did it, and who verified it.

Again, all of the fake evidence we've been given so far, has been proven false. Not even a fraction of the number of deaths happened.

In fact, even the deaths that did happen are suspect, because we know that hospitals and clinics were tagging every death they could, as being a covid death, without even verifying the patient had covid.

Only on public transit, and only recently. Before just this last month, they were not recommending masks.

Again, that's nifty.... how about actual scientific evidence that masks works? Let's go for that, more so than even what their public policies are. Show me the science that proves masks work on Covid-19. Good luck, because I've looked, and found nothing.

Lots of opinions, lots of claims, lots of doctors and medical people saying this and that.... no real science have I been able to find so far.

Did you read that? Because that link seems rather... sketchy to me.

They analyzed cell phone data, and suggested that Covid-19 cases increased 7% to 12% from the motorcycle rally.

Really? And they were able to make these scientific measurements in exactly 2 weeks?

Think about that for a second. The motorcycle rally ended Aug 16th. This report came out Sep 8th. Two weeks. They were able to collect and analyze all that data, correctly.... in two weeks?

It takes roughly 2 weeks for a person to even have symptoms ... assuming they have symptoms, which we now know the vast majority never show any symptoms.

So in a period of exactly two weeks.... EXACTLY two weeks.... they were able to collect all this data, and analyze all of it properly, with a whooping FOUR PEOPLE who worked on this report..>> FOUR PEOPLE << worked on a report, for exactly two weeks.... collecting all this data from South Dakota... IN GERMANY..... when it takes two weeks for people to even show symptoms.

And they can tell exactly how many cases of Covid-19 are due to the motorcycle rally? Really?

I've read research reports, that had smaller data samples than this...... that required a full YEAR to properly research and write up a report on.

How many had Covid before ever going to the rally, that are being assumed to have caught there? How many are being miss diagnosed?

If this report had come out 6 months from now, talking about how much Covid-19 had been spread around, I would be far more inclined to believe it.

But 10 days of work, by a whooping 4 people, on the cellphone data of 500,000 people, and you want to claim you have the smalllest of clues what really happened, when there isn't even enough time for most of those people to incubate before this report was released.......

Skeptical. Sorry, I'm not going to follow you in your blind faith of something that is obviously...> OBVIOUSLY < a rushed research paper. There is no possible way that this report didn't cut some corners in analyzing the data, to rush it out.
