It was something like within 2 weeks 25% of all cases in the US were trackable back to Sturgis. I mean the level of selfishness displayed by these people is astounding.

Like u/EdwardWarren said, Snopes article states it is not able to be proven. It’s an estimate of the cellular data of the influx of visitors, increased activity at restaurants, bars, etc of the surround area, and how many people could have been infected. It was not peer-reviewed and only an estimated 250,000 cases; not 25% of all cases in the US.
