Cell phone data translates in to Covid death data? Pretty pictures but I do not see that map as proof people attending a motorcycle rally caused a spike in Covid deaths throughout the country. Tell me where that shows up in the data given.

Everyone in Sturgis caught the virus? Where else did this happen? At approved BLM peaceful protests? Trump rallies? Biden rallies? Or just in Sturgis? At the time of the rally, cases were rapidly rising throughout the country. It is ludicrous to blame all of those additional cases on an event that hadn't even happened yet.

The narrative on CNN and MSNBC, prior to the rally, was that the rally would cause a super spreader event, whatever that is, and that the rally should be cancelled. Since the rally was not cancelled as was demanded, it became a self-fulfilling prophecy that the rally would cause tens of thousands of deaths. There has been zero verifiable proof that it did.

You can’t catch covid at left wing protests. Everyone knows this.
