    Perfect example of the fractured nature of American federalism.

    If you're promoting Penn State as a thoughtful role model, remember this is the school that put football ahead of child sexual abuse. Not only Paterno, but the president, vp, athletic director and other top leadership. Some of these bums are in jail.

    The school will probably be a super-spreader in the next few weeks, sickening and killing spectators and others in honor of the God of football

    I would caution against that advice.

    Hundreds of thousands maskless fans have attended football games this month joyously yelling in celebration of their teams .Should've heard of at least some of them tracing into super spreader events by now .

    I also applaud the Aussies who are pushing back against ridiculous intolerable restrictions .

    Considering that the majority of college students are liberal dems, then there are thousands of liberal dems in those big crowds. I wonder how many of the people at a Penn State game are liberal dems? Most? Perhaps people are figuring out that the otherwise healthy, under fifty crowd carries a very small risk from Covid.

    The covid death rate in SD where the biker rally was held is incredibly low. They've had about fifty deaths since May. Cali can have several times that number in a single day.

    Not true. My brother hasn't attended for the past two years because its a superspreader event.

    Nothing like a fact-based article from Forbes to set the record straight.

    misinformed generalisations.
    Misinformed? How? This is a completely accurate statement. "Perhaps people are figuring out that the otherwise healthy, under fifty crowd carries a very small risk from Covid." Anyone with any functioning brain at all can see that here.

    https://www.statista.com/statistics/...vid-by-age-us/

    Or here. https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019...th-by-age.html

    And that doesn't even take into account those who had co-morbidities which the over-fifty crowd is far more likely to have. In Cali, almost 40% of the deaths are in those 80 and over. Why do you suppose 40% of the deaths are in such a small part of the population?

    Yet again you avoid the actual point.

    Your misinformed generalisation is right here:

    Now stop playing silly and, as I said earlier, put up or, well you know the rest.

    Under 50's carry a smaller risk of Dying from Covid, as apposed to contracting it in the first place.

    You have data for that? At any rate, dying is far more serious than being sick. My statement was correct.

    Now stop playing silly and, as I said earlier, put up or, well you now the rest.
    I am going on this data. College educated voters largely vote democrat. And if you guesses that college educated people...used to be college students, then you get to go to the front of the line.

    https://www.theatlantic.com/educatio...litics/575113/

    Now you can put up or...you know. Who's playing silly now?

    The second part you seemed to have indigestion over was simply a question. You know, like speculation? "I wonder how many of the people at a Penn State game are liberal dems? Most?" I said that since PS is a well know liberal school. Could my guess be wrong? Yes, and that's why I used a question mark.

    And were the bikers all from the Dakotas, SD in particular?
    I have no idea. The point is that SD has an incredibly low infection/death rate, so those bikers who came in from all over must not have brought Covid with them.

    Biology professor Anna Yeung-Cheung of Manhattanville College, a private school in Purchase, New York, was appalled when told about the rally.

    “Oh my God … where do they get all these people?” she said. “That’s very scary.”

    Yeung-Cheung echoed other experts in noting that while the number of cases is low in South Dakota, at least so far, the problem is that bikers from across the country are coming to the Black Hills.

    Thousands of unvaccinated, unmasked people traveling across the country. An ultra-contagious new variant. Overloaded hospitals. If you thought it could get no worse, think again.

    You get one guess why my brother, an avid cyclist since his teens, didn't go to Sturgis the past two years.

    That's an OpEd piece based on exit polls, hardly empirical evidence.
    Very much mixing apples and oranges to produce Mustangs.

    Probably best to not continue with this line as it may end up badly.

    Lots of Covid related stuff here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/coronavirus
    Some of it an eye opener, especially the infection rates in under 20's..
