Sturgis get-together kicks off this weekend as the Delta surge grows exponentially.
Check the estate sales in your local newspaper starting in October. There should be some good buys.

(31,970 posts)Since you may believe that since you seem to question that the Delta death rate is low then please cite where the death rate would support this view of mass death.
questionseverything
(9,646 posts)You saying, delta has a low death rate
Now I guess if we mean low compared to?
I think you implying delta isnt deadly is irresponsible and dangerous and doesnt match what i am seeing posted from doctors and nurses on the front lines
If you have a cdc link supporting what you said I would be interested in reading it
former9thward
(31,970 posts)I think that is low. I also posted in #8 a link to a CDC study of last year's rally where 462,000 attended. One death was attributed to the rally. Yes, I think one out of 462,000 is low. Maybe you differ...

(24,365 posts)The overwhelming majority of attendees to the Sturgis Rally do not live in South Dakota. How the hell can Kristi Noem alter data from other states?

(15,124 posts)town where hardly anyone will wear a mask despite a raging DELTA variant surge is a good idea?
As an aside, I understand that you are a newbie, but equating a DUer with a "republican" is considered rude and possibly a violation of the TOS. I'm not alerting because I have no reason to value your opinion.
