| Subject: Wholesale Idiots: Sturgis Motorcycle Rally in South Dakota expected to draw 250,000, stoking virus fears Sat Aug 08, 2020 10:44 pm | |
| Health officials are still warning against even small gatherings, and states with relatively low spread of the coronavirus are ordering visitors from hot spots to self-quarantine.
That did not stop hordes of bikers streaming into Sturgis, S.D., Friday and Saturday at one of the world’s biggest annual motorcycle rallies — the first of 250,000 people from across the country expected to descend on South Dakota’s rural Black Hills.
They rumbled through the streets and crowded the sidewalks, often without masks, for the start of a 10-day extravaganza so deeply rooted that Sturgis calls itself the City of Riders. WCVB reported that vendors at hundreds of tents sold motorcycle gear, food and T-shirts — one of which said, “Screw COVID. I went to Sturgis.”
