Rule #2, 5G. You are incorrect with this post.

Please spare the trying to keep the country calm bull####. Thats laughable coming from this president.

They support Trump because they hate us. Remember that.

If you are right, which I'll never know because you probably won't show your math, 7k-10k additional cases in order to show off one's hog and throw devil horns at Smash Mouth is still stupid. And that's the point

Jim I suggest you try a day on the lake. You have a lot to learn about. Start by filling your bathtub and splashing around.

I found it but 5Gs numbers do not jive with the abstract of the study.

Your life is the best life, Jim, and we should all aspire to live your life. Thank you

Not sure - I've been trying to find how many of the 4 boats that sunk were in the parade but haven't. Maybe you can invoke Rule #2 on yourself and help me out since this is the only topic you're interested in today.

In my opinion they are alt-right topics in a Buffalo Bills forum. Thank you for the respectful discussion. It was a pleasure going through Rule #2 with you.

Yes, they do. Read the study 5G.

Anyone not in the parade with a small boat on the water was *****. So was their property if it was docked. I know you hate when people destroy other people's property.

This is a thread So is this and this

We're discussing facts and figures while other posters crusade against us, including you, refusing to discuss the facts and figures.

Solid Rule #2 evidence that Trump downplayed the virus. Yes, Trump also banned most travel to China and Europe. That was a good move.

He'd certainly be fond of OAN

A Rule #1 and Rule #2 violation - nice

Sorry about MT Pockets

Two of your 3 posts outside of PPP... Yikes

Rule #2

Did he move there from California to own the libz?

Dude signed up 20 hours ago to post in PPP only

Thanks. I know @Chef Jim was very interested in learning about this earlier.

https://www.iza.org/publications/dp/13670/the-contagion-externality-of-a-superspreading-event-the-sturgis-motorcycle-rally-and-covid-19 Large in-person gatherings without social distancing and with individuals who have traveled outside the local area are classified as the "highest risk" for COVID-19 spread by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Between August 7 and August 16, 2020, nearly 500,000 motorcycle enthusiasts converged on Sturgis, South Dakota for its annual motorcycle rally. Large crowds, coupled with minimal mask-wearing and social distancing by attendees, raised concerns that this event could serve as a COVID-19 "super-spreader." This study is the first to explore the impact of this event on social distancing and the spread of COVID-19. First, using anonymized cell phone data from SafeGraph, Inc. we document that (i) smartphone pings from non-residents, and (ii) foot traffic at restaurants and bars, retail establishments, entertainment venues, hotels and campgrounds each rose substantially in the census block groups hosting Sturgis rally events. Stay-at-home behavior among local residents, as measured by median hours spent at home, fell. Second, using data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and a synthetic control approach, we show that by September 2, a month following the onset of the Rally, COVID-19 cases increased by approximately 6 to 7 cases per 1,000 population in its home county of Meade. Finally, difference-in-differences (dose response) estimates show that following the Sturgis event, counties that contributed the highest inflows of rally attendees experienced a 7.0 to 12.5 percent increase in COVID-19 cases relative to counties that did not contribute inflows. Descriptive evidence suggests these effects may be muted in states with stricter mitigation policies (i.e., restrictions on bar/restaurant openings, mask-wearing mandates). We conclude that the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally generated public health costs of approximately $12.2 billion.

It's a study. Do you have a (Rule #2) link or statistic to dispute it? The Contagion Externality of a Superspreading Event: The Sturgis Motorcycle Rally and COVID-19” from the Center for Health Economics & Policy Studies at San Diego State University

This is the type of data Rule #2 requires. Great post. The data regarding Sturgis showed that the number of pings by people from outside the community increased by 92.5 percent compared to a two-week period prior to the rally. The crowd there happened to peak on Aug. 8, the night Smash Mouth played and lead singer Steve Harwell imparted from the stage the same “f*ck COVID” message offered by T-shirts a number of people in the crowd were wearing. The study’s subsequent data indicates that the rally increased COVID-19 infection in Meade County by 6.3 to 6.9 cases per 1,000 of the population. Infections in South Dakota were calculated to have risen by up to 3.9 cases per 1,000 as a result of the rally. “This represents an increase of over 35 percent relative to the 9.7 cases per 1,000 population in South Dakota on July 31, 2020,” the study noted. The study further found that the rally caused COVID-19 infections to rise by 10.7 percent in counties with the highest number of Sturgis attendees. The counties with few attendees were also factored in. The final tally was astonishing, but deemed plausible by the experts: 266,796 coronavirus infections. “Or 19 percent of 1.4 million new cases,” the study says. However accurate the number of COVID-19 infections caused by the rally may or may not be, nobody should contest the team’s ultimate goal concerning those of us who still shun masks and ignore social distancing.
