According to the cdc, 94% had other conditions that contributed to their death. So 6% were completely actual Kung flu deaths thus far. If one trusts the cdc which I dont, those arent too bad of odds if one is in good health. If you got health issues, self quarantine until you can accept the risk of being in public. Let those of us who have been working and living life to fullest continue on.

I guess if the US is something like the rest of the world, the virus will be killing some of you, sadly. Perhaps if you take some not too intrusive precautions, while you work out which of your institutions is telling lies or exaggerating, that might be a sensible thing to do?

I dont care if you want to ride around without protective gear, not wear seatbelts, play Russian roulette on the weekends, or mainline heroin with dirty needles. It will be only you at risk. That isnt the case during a pandemic, you put others at risk with your irresponsibility.

I agree with staying to the west of Sturgis. For the last 6 trips, I camp outside of Deadwood on Rt 385 south. Great riding in the area, and easy to get to Mt Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Hill City, Spearfish Canyon, and even Sturgis.

Yes, its about controlling the spread of a dangerous virus that has no cure and extremely limited treatments. It has nothing to do with controlling you.
Social distancing, proper face covering usage, and good personal hygiene are the tools society has to combat it and irresponsible people who purposely choose to disregard them threaten the health and welfare of others. The economy and the unemployment numbers will not become better without this country getting a handle on this disease...and we have completely failed so far.
