So we all know about the Sturgis motorcycle rally this year, which was remarkable for being almost completely mask and social distancing free because, you know, freedom.

San Diego State University did a study on the Covid after effects of Sturgis and found that 266,000 cases could be traced back to transmission at Sturgis. This cost about 2.2 Billion in public health costs. Nineteen percent of all the cases in the US in August can be traced to Sturgis. It was a true super-spreader event.

So the study summarized that, looking at the public costs incurred, the government could have paid EACH PARTICIPANT $26,000 NOT to go, and would have saved money.

Just something to think about when you are pondering how much of a hoax covid is. This has been published by several news sources, including Fox.

So what are you trying to say? That the truth is considerably fewer than 266,000 cases can be traced back to Sturgis. Therefore, there was nowhere near $2.2 billion in public health care costs? There couldn't be because 80% or better of people infected by COVID-19 don't even need medical care.

Though strongly disagreed with Sturgis happening, along with every other large group event such as the protests, that study is garbage.

There's been ONE death attributed to Sturgis. One.
Let's see where we are in two weeks, but it sure looks like a non event to me.

What odd models that group uses for their projections. Not just the Sturgis projections, but for the blm and political rally guesses.

Shame on the university for letting those go out under their name. Makes them look comical.
