Health officials across five states have linked 178 virus cases to the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally.

Dr. Jen Ashton shares details from a Lancet study about long-haul symptoms including fatigue, brain fog and more.SIOUX FALLS, S.D. -- Rumbles from the motorcycles and rock shows of the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally have hardly cleared from the Black Hills of South Dakota, and the reports of COVID-19 infections among rallygoers are already streaming in — 178 cases across five states, according to contact tracers.

The Black Hills region's largest hospital system, Monument Health, warned Friday that it has seen hospitalizations from the virus rise from five to 78 this month. The hospital was bracing for more COVID-19 patients by converting rooms to intensive care units and reassigning staff. “This coronavirus forest fire will keep burning any human wood it can find,” he said. “It will find you, and it’s so infectious.”

The aftermath of this year's rally looks eerily similar to last year — when the event heralded a wave that did not subside until the winter. He also pointed out that Meade County’s vaccination rate of 45% lags behind the statewide rate of 56% eligible people vaccinated.

Crawl into a hole and die or live free enjoy life and die? Which way do you think is best?

And zero to Pelosi’s fundraiser in SF and zero to Obama’s BD party

Most of these rallies are simply drunkfests. I went to Daytona many times when I rode in back in my 20’s. Good health isn’t exactly on the radar here.

How many cases in Hampton’s after Obama party? How many cases in NYC after party in the park? Love how you pick and choose!!! Never once covered the other two events or commented on their crowds. So sick of the bias coverage and condemnation

ABC NEWS covered a hole 3 minutes in July on the southern border, full of unvaccinated illegals and now they're blowing this smoke in my face.

Five states, five gas stations, five restaurants, five fast food joints, there’s no way they can trace it back to one place. Once again, you’re trying to get rid of a national gathering in one place for your own propaganda purposes Sturgis

how can citizens take this report this goverment serious? They go after blue collar workers who want to meet&have fun&blow off steam each know the risk.We have millions of infected illegals bused across the country without notice of risk.Yet that process policy is fine no report.

147 out of 500k attendees. This is why the media is garbage. Covid is serious and should be treated thusly, but this headline and story are comically bad.

I’ve been around the people who go to the rally all my life. They’re doctors, nurses, lawyers & other high earning professionals who escape from their real lives for awhile. If doctors & nurses don’t care about wearing a mask at Sturgis why wear them at all?

Not surprising

Looks like I’m going to get a smokin deal on a bike

They cannot tell where a person got the virus, don’t believe this! Infections are currently rising everywhere. Such fake news.

Omg 178? Out if the 700k there

Not Surprised

Almost none. Stop the boloney.

Has the same effort been put in to tracking cases stemming from Obama’s birthday? Pelosi’s dinner?

That’s a lower number than I thought it was going to be.

Not many cases.

178 x 8 (R0 for this virus), that's 1,424 people those 178 people will infect. Those 1,424 people will infect 11,392, Who will infect 91,136, who will infect 727,088. That's just 5 generations and it doesn't stop there. Get vaccinated, wear the mask.

Hell! They don't Care! so why should We! Freedom! to get covid, and Die!

250k vehicles converge on Sturgis and a .07% case rate ERUPTS into a news story with no details about how many vaccinated people brought with them the DEADLY Delta variant to pass along to the dissident unvaccinated masses. Yet the origins of this virus are still unknown by feds.

I always wondered…what’s useful having a motorcycle rally? Is it about thousands of bikers, collectors, and enthusiasts showing off their motorcycles?

Even the ‘sophisticated’ get it - just ask those at Obama’s party

And 0 from all the riots

lol so, nothing happened - no one died from going to sturgis. Did anyone even develop the sniffles?

Health officials link 178 MAGA Virus cases in five states to Motorcycle Sausage Feast...

'The facts about Australia’s rising toll of Indigenous deaths in custody | Deaths in custody | The Guardian'

I actually sent all types of videos of Obama's big birthday bash because we know the internet will try and hide it. I got them saved on USB DRIVE Along with some other shit you all hide. With facts hahah

I’ve said this all along this is mother nature’s way of weeding out the stupid people

lollapalooza? Voting rights marches ?

Martha’s Vineyard’s Obama party, Lallapalooza and the NYC concert; what about those? Pretty sure it’s a similar outcome but inconvenient for your hypocritical narrative.

178 / 700,000 attendees =0.025% positivity rate!

You can't help people that won't get Vaccinated or wear a mask, The Sad part, because of Thier ignorance, will spread the COVID-19 virus to friends and family

Some people call that 'freedom'

Soon there will be some good deals on used Harleys. Hospital bills have to be paid. I no longer feel any remorse for these people.
