Sturgis chickens coming home to roost.

Today several states reported record high Covid-19 infections:

Sturgis' home state of South Dakota - 623 new cases ( 2.5 times the previous record)
North Dakota - 333 new cases (21% higher than previous record)
Minnesota - 1,154 new cases (25% higher than previous record)
Iowa - 1,566 new cases (1.5 times higher than the previous record)

Can't be certain, but looks like those Sturgis bikers went home and carried the virus with them.

Especially when a "librul" says it. Being wrong will just make them double down.
