"Furthermore, event organizers ... warned attendees that some “South Dakota tribal lands may be restricted with checkpoints to protect residents from COVID-19 exposure”"
I bet that was fun.
"Using a synthetic control approach, ... [f]or the state of South Dakota as a whole we find that the Sturgis event increase COVID-19 cases by 3.6 to 3.9 cases per 1,000 population as of September 2nd 2020. 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 (South Dakota Department of Health 2020)."
That's pretty substantial.
