The Sturgis Motorcycle Rally in South Dakota, blamed for a COVID spike last year, is being held again — raising fears that delta variant infections will spread among the 700,000 expected attendees. 'I feel absolutely powerless,' one local said.

And the media ignores Obama's super spreader birthday bash... Nah, the media isn't biased at all. Nothing to see here, move along! 🧐🤣

And the entire country where they all came from will see a surge again. Crazy

Let them. There won’t be any republicans left to vote!

I don’t care anymore. Let them be. We’ll eventually hear in the news they were on the ventilator and lost their lives.

sawyervanhorn17 The RESULT less Republican voters

they have just the right risk factors (age and obesity) that Covid virus likes to take advantage of and create serious infections.....

dyannleroy Regardless of how many COVID19 cases are generated, Governor Noem and her BrownShirts will declare victory. Any cases that they acknowledge will be traced to the TexasBorder

PrettyGonzo On the other hand, lots of used Harleys coming to market real cheap!

If at first you succeed, don’t change a thing. Full disclosure, I attended EAA Airventure and not sure I’d go again if country is in this same situation in Jul 2022.

What are the odds of someone being pantsed by a bison again vs. contracting covid?

To the local-be vaccinated, and stay home!

Buried in the end there that you still don't need proof of vaccination to enter the US...kind of wild!

Lolapalooza hypocrites

sawyervanhorn17 Ugh. I was born in SD and thankfully no longer live there. They literally have learned nothing 🤬

sawyervanhorn17 Deja-Stu-pid!

How many illegal immigrants has Biden shipped you guys?

NPR- lib rado. 👎

VickyKramer16 What makes these groups of people so damn important? Why the hell wasn’t sturgis cancelled last year, and why the fck isn’t it cancelled this year? And Lollapalooza..Nobody is going to DIE if they don’t party in sturgis or go to a music fest, but ppl WILL DIE because they did.

VickyKramer16 The longer this goes on, the more pissed I become. Both kids remote school last year, we barely go anywhere and if we do it’s an hour before closing or first AM, no vaca, no weekend trips, no parties. And these folks go around not giving a fck.

😢

Come to Sturgis they said...your worst fear is a STD they said...

morgfair My poor South Dakotan relatives!

If this is a picture of the attendees, then it will be no great loss when they succumb to COVID.

Good thing they don’t test for delta

oh it will, it most definitely will, no 'fears' about it.

morgfair Once again lessons not learned

morgfair Alcohol and a pandemic what's the worst that could happen?🤷‍♂️

They imagine that they are 'owning the libs'

they voted for her as governor and keep her in office. But then, the meat packing industry and coal are giving her their marching orders

Really...do they look like they even spell COVID, let alone count to 19?

Fly allegiant air from Knoxville Tennessee

Allegiant airlines is now flying direct to Sturgis for the event; this should help Tennessee to get more infections, we have to win at something. It’s like we’re competing against Florida, Alabama, Missouri, help

TrueTrumpSeries On the bright side it's going to be a good time to buy a secondhand motorcycle.

As if the noise isn’t bad enough, they have to spread a deadly virus, too.

Sad 😞 😞😞😞

“Survival of the fittest” is turning into “extinction of the dumbest”. DeltaPlusVariant GetVaccinatedNow

We want another one just like the other one mentality. Ohhhhh well.

Your power is in your vote-get rid of Noam & the rest of her creatures.

If I had a business there I'd be locking down and leaving for the duration.

Just really stupid. I suspect there will be a few motorcycles up for sale shortly after this event as unvaccinated people attending contact coronavirus and die.

rachel_maria65 I hope Lollapalooza was a hellava good show...5333 new covid cases in Illinois on 08/02, 2571 new cases 08/03, and 2968 new cases 08/04. Please avoid crowds and please mask up.

JJohnson2u govkristinoem get those children’s ICU beds ready.

Obviously, Sturgis values $$$ more than human lives!

govkristinoem couldn’t care less about the citizens when strangers from throughout the country bring their wallets or she thinks she can rile up supporters for her presidential campaign 🤮

Imagine speed bumps every 6 feet.

All I can say is “pack ‘em in!”

dannyac30 It will also be spread by them on the ride there and back. This will be a super spreader with bonus cases.

Does NPR realize black folk ride the bikes also ? Usually they are just after white heterosexuals .

Close businesses. Close bars only for Christ sake and they will go away.

People care more about the almighty dollar than they do about life.

Sale harleydavidson

it's pretty crazy how those who yell the most about being 'so tough!' are literally losing the survival of the fittest

KCBoyd3

Dem Mayor Lori Lightfoot and Dem Gov Pritzker welcomed Lollapalooza 400,000+ to Chicago this weekend—did you have any criticism of that? University of Chicago epidemiologist warmed her nit to do it.

Lie. Funny they counted travelers who never stopped in Sturgis but drove through on Highway as Covid victims of the Bike Rally. Click bait n more lies from state run media

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Powerless? Get vaccinated

As much as humans advance, we stay the same. Some people just never damn learn. Or just don't give a shart. But hey... it's just a small thing isn't it? Doing their part in killing other people.

Let the Stoooopids die!

There was no COVID spike after sturgis. You’re lying.

POTUS Use the geofencing track all those bastards and as the spikes rise in covid as they go back to their neighborhoods send all those medical bills to Governor Kristi noem. I'm tired of all these governors killing people and the economy and they have no personal consequences

Thanks South Dakota for still being terrible.

Lollapalooza was last week

Oh Darwin….you have visitors!

All the smart people stay away. Let them have at it
