6. "Will offer businesses a chance to make up for loses from coronavirus"
Sun Aug 2, 2020, 01:35 PM
Aug 2020

That is why they are doing this. I understand the appeal of Sturgis and what that must mean to the local economy but it is a sad statement on our national response, or lack thereof, that communities are willing to put themselves and others around the country at risk, just to host their event. This will be a disaster long term. Prime example of why we can't get this crap under control in our country
