A Minnesota man who was one of thousands of people who attended the annual Sturgis motorcycle rally in South Dakota last month was reported dead Wednesday of COVID-19.

Before the rally, the infection rate in South Dakota had been “hovering at 8 to 10 percent,” Huber said. “The last couple weeks, it’s been up over 15 percent.”

Earlier this week, South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem acknowledged that her state is seeing more active cases than ever before. "The revenue sum from temporary vendors in the Black Hills is a 6 percent increase compared to 2019," the department reported. While this corner of the Midwest in now one of the nation’s COVID-19 hot spots, these states still account for a small percentage of the country's nearly 6.2 million cases and almost 186,00 deaths — both world-leading figures.

100% guarantee there were a butt load of democrats rumbling their Harleys there. Maybe they brought the China virus to Sturgis. Whatta ya say? Trump2020MotherFuckers

2/2 Meanwhile the LDs & the rest of the anti-social new abnormal Great Reset are destroying more lives than C-19 ever could But lets keep the fear as high as possible so more lives are destroyed Good job Criminal Corporate Media & the panic public that go along with the insanity

Gee, what a surprise. 😅

Supplementary headline: Good Deals to be had on Used Harleys.

And they carried COVID back to many other states. But hey... MAGA!

After a week of Harley parties I would be sick as a dog.

The spread from the Sturgis event is beyond calculation.

Great. Hope your doing the same for all the protests and the recent march on Washington🤦🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🙄🙄

Look at events in sporting no fans like Indy 500 MLB this weekend Kentucky derby most of the colleges no fall sports You have a major event yes outside but look now was it worth it spike in infection and one death. No it not worth it deadly virus where hardly no people used mask

We were just in South Dakota. Masks are not a thing.

COVID-19 keeps rolling along.

The sad part is those that attended don’t care. They only care if they get it and need medical help, only then are they sorry, sorry for themselves.

I do not think so, i think it is because of BLM and antifa, corrupted left media takes lies

It’s over. You can stop. No one believes you or the “experts.” Credibility is gone not to be regained again. That isn’t the fault of American citizens. Too many lies.

These riders are 'peaceful protester riders.' Peaceful protesters don't get COVID! 😷 Look at the TV now, 1000's gather outside DC for another shooting. We won't hear of one case of the virus being caught by one of them or transmitted. Hmmm, how come? 🤷‍♀️

That Gov. Diserve this. But i feel sorry for the People they had to work.

So what. It looked like an awesome party. 👍🏻

All over the US people are getting positive test results without ever taking the covid test. Also , only 9,000 people in the USA have died from only covid. Fuck the news media. They are paid to lie in order to control us like sheep. Trump2020motherfuckers

I guess you just can’t fix stupid.

Best news ive heard all day

250,000 'Typhoid Marys'.

Any survivors?

Imagine equating motorcycle riding with patriotism?

MattMurph24 Did the Governor attend?

Not surprised at all. Trump supporters don't like to take baths and wear masks.

This is outrageous! Why didn't health authorities warn these bikers this would happen?

🤔but we are suppose to believe that the huge protests didn’t create and cases or deaths

Looks like herd immunity is developing well.

Born to Be Infectious And Ignorant And Selfish

Except....facts are out there.

Well Adam Carolla says it’s all fake so 🤷🏿‍♂️

If only someone could have seen this coming, warned those attending that they are putting themselves, and others at risk... Those rally goers would have still behaved in the exact same selfish/ignorant way.

3 words that attendees don’t understand the definition of: Airborne Viral Pandemic.

You reap what you sow!

Is what it is.

'Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.' -Martin Luther King, Jr.

I bet nbc couldn’t wait to report this

“Science is the father of knowledge, but opinion breeds ignorance.” -Hippocrates

THERE YOU GO.

they died doing what they loved!

Wait, so he died today, more than 14 days after the Sturgis Rally, which mean he couldn’t have got it at the rally. Either that or the 2 week quarantine doesn’t work🤷🏻‍♂️

Look, it is what it is. 🤷🏼‍♀️

More to come.

Sorry, but 1 less dumb donnie supporter.

Is this supposed to alarm us. 1 out of thousands? Sounds pretty benign to me.

Literally everyone expected this

985 deaths per day, and NBC News decides to highlight this one. Why?

KristiNoem great job stopping large public gathering. Your just listening to looney Trump. You are paid by the citizens of SD not Trump. You risk lives and families for what? Hope you experience pain and grief like others you caused. SenateFloor SouthDakotaNew southdakota

One guy huh?

But when there are protests in the streets, nobody gets contaminated? This doesn't add up😕

Blood on the hands of the South Dakota Governor KRISTI NOEM

Wonder if he said this; ‘IF YOU’RE NOT WILLING TO WEAR A HELMET TO PROTECT YOUR PRECIOUS NOGGIN ... YOU’RE PROBABLY NOT GOING TO WEAR A MASK AGAINST SOME NAMBY-PAMBY GERM THAT THE DONALD SAYS IS 'TOTALLY HARMLESS.'

What a shame huh? Jumped into a shark tank and got eaten by a shark. Shocker

That’s very sad. Good thing we have expert contact tracing and we can notify everyone he has been in contact with and isolate folks and ensure they get the healthcare that they need. Oh. Is that every other developed nation without a moron as President? Covid19

1 of 1000’s? Oh fuck well we better lock it all back down everyone get inside 🚨🚨🚨

And?

AND, that's life! He took a risk & it didn't pay off He could have died in a motorcycle accident, he could have been attacked by a rioter or shot by some drug dealer but he lived his like they way he wanted & it was just his time

HE HAS GONE TO THAT BIG BIKE RALLY IN THE SKY. FEAR NOT BIKERS YOUR TIME IS COMING. 🤘👨‍🦽

The man in the White House is going to be furious that this information guy out!

10000 can maybe be classified as corona deaths. the rest is just complete bs

That’s hardly news, covid is the only thing we are allowed to die from in 2020.

Gee, too bad, so sad. Not. Blatant disregard for the official medical public health orders is indefensible . Not for the individual breaking the law ,but for the innocent who did not go mix with a few thousand yahoos that is infected by said yahoo .Too late 4 this biker.😷😱😷

Probably had underlying conditions... Add him to the 94 percentile.

At least he got the chance to attend, he knew the deal. They all are still going to voting for trump so his death means nothing.

Well, he got to celebrate his freedom one last time. No one was going to stop him.

congratulations--you found one------

My thoughts and prayers are with his family, but it is rather disingenuous for your network to report this…

Now do the daily riots/'protests'... 😆

Notice you didn't do BLM or list actual cause of death. Ie heart attack or stroke

I’m going to wait and see the stupid comment that says “ he crashed his motorcycle and died”

Who gets his I survived covid at Sturgis tee?

oh well

Now list his underlying issues. I’ll wait...

Volenti non fit injuria

South Deathculta

How about the riots? Oh ya you refused to track that.

At least he got to see the Molly Hatchet cover band before he died. I wonder how much the family wants for his “trike” and personal mobility scooter.

You can’t fix Stupid.

Sorry. Not sorry.

I think they were prepared to be a casualty of Covid19. So far 1out of 1000s for them is a pretty good odd except for the one that died but I am pretty sure he accepted his fate.

🤔

Funny, nobody in protest, mob riots and looting and marches are affected by Kung flu

Now do a story about the protestors

It is what it is

HermanCainSyndrome🤷‍♀️ WearADamnMask

Thats some hoax.

They’ll have to change their mantra to “Dead Bikers for trump”.

One less Trump vote in Minnesota
