Here's Thursday's update from SD;

https://doh.sd.gov/news/coronavirus.aspx#

I'm still not seeing the media's broadcast super outbreak.

Here's a couple of nice old HD's downtown. I like Orange bikes. The orange one


had a date stamped on the head 11 23 26 (I'm assuming that is date, might be wrong)

If the *****'s of the world are staying at home like their overlords suggest, whether I wear a mask or not is irrelevant. We will never come in contact. STAY HOME. Life's too short for me to live in fear.

BTW with over 460,000 attendees at Sturgis over two weeks ago, there are only a few hundred cases that anyone knows of. One guy reportedly died, but who really knows where he got COVID and what his general health was?

Seems to be about thread control. Fooled me with the title, I was expecting something about the "Sturgis Experience".

OMG, that silver/grey Pan is gorgeous!
Besides riding in the Black Hills, some of the machinery down town is a draw for me.

That page is terribly laid out.

Here are some graphs to go with it.

https://www.worldometers.info/corona.../south-dakota/

https://covidactnow.org/state/SD?s=999207

19.8% positivity test rate. That's really high which prompted my state to issue a travel advisory to South Dakota...don't go, and if you do quarantine for 14 days after.

STURGIS CONTENT ... honest.


https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/...ed/5696286002/

The article says "more than 400,000 vehicles" but was also reported as "more than 460,000 vehicles" so let's conservatively say that was at least 500,000 people at Sturgis during the rally.

Though prior to the rally what was highly touted as a COVID super-whatever event that would kill off all of America and much of the free world now has one (ONE!) death linked to the event. The article states, "A Minnesota man who died was in his 60s and had underlying health conditions." I am sorry for his passing and for the loss to his family and friends.

It actually made the news that one person, that's right ... again... ONE person tested positive for COVID-19 at One Eyed Jack's bar in Sturgis; it made the news!

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/...on/5605880002/

Assuming there was only 500,000 people at the rally (remember, "more than" 460,000 vehicles) some math is in order.

Statistically speaking, here are few odds of dying with the causes: Drowning in a Bathtub: 1 in 685,000. Fatally Slipping during a Shower: 1 in 812,232. Being Struck by Lightning: 1 in 576,000.

The odds of getting a Royal Flush is one in 649,739.

The odds of 3 blackjacks in a row are about 10,000 to 1; the odds for 2 in a row is one in 400.

Back to the one (ONE!) patron who tested positive at a bar in Sturgis. If you ask experts at medical centers how often a child is born so noticeably atypical in terms of genitalia that a specialist in sex differentiation is called in, the number comes out to about 1 in 1500 to 1 in 2000 births [0.07–0.05%]. That means that at the Sturgis rally one would statistically be about 285 times (500,000 divided by 1,750) more likely to come in contact with someone born as a hermaphrodite than a COVID positive person.

Just trying to keep this real and helping everyone stay informed.

One person dying from it is just the beginning, and that is the tragedy of it.

South Dakota is seeing a surge of cases but that has a combination of reasons...schools opening, large gatherings like Sturgis, people not caring.

My office had one person go to Sturgis for the rally but they made him quarantine for 14 days; good thing because he has tested positive. I hope he has the sick time, if anything.
