So an infected dude sits inside a bar in Sturgis for 5 and 1/2 hours during the motorcycle rally.
[link:https://www.kotatv.com/2020/08/18/state-reports-positive-covid-19-at-one-eyed-jacks-saloon-in-sturgis/|
Infected dude leans into to hear what his group / friends were yelling about during a drunken conversation. Because the music is so loud one has to yell and lean in, in order to be heard. Indoors.
Think about the viral blast that people in his/her group received. There seems to be a connection between the severity of the disease and the viral blast one gets.
5 1/2 hours to yell over the loud music, people leaning in face to face, no masks, getting yelled at by an infected person. People are taking in a deadly amount of viral load.
Then they drive the 2000 miles back home, polluting every rest stop and gas station and tourist trap they visit.

OP
The money the Sturgis retailers made from the event should cover their funeral costs
