This will be the last "Sturgis Rally" post. It's been well over a month now since the rally; time to move on. It was a low-impact hurricane that quickly degraded into a tropical storm and the press forgot all about it.
For now, one last "Sturgis Rally" follow-up.
*********************************
The Sturgis Rally Update
Sturgis Rally: August 7 - August 16, 2020.
At link above, set "search" for "yesterday."
Number of cases means absolutely nothing.
Number of deaths associated with Covid-19 "means more" but numbers are incredibly questionable. Criteria for diagnosis varies across jurisdiction.
But be that as it may, new deaths in last 24 hours (these numbers were updated, again, after 6:00 p.m.) Low numbers are probably a function of Sunday reporting a Saturday.
- Iowa: 3
- Minnesota: 4
- Nebraska: 1
- North Dakota: 4
- Montana: 1
- South Dakota: 0 -- wow, so much for the Sturgis Rally story
- Wyoming: 0 -- several days in a row with zero new deaths;
Deaths per million population, and (ranking among 50 states and DC):
- Iowa: 416 (23) -- ranking unchanged
- Minnesota: 365 (28) -- ranking unchanged
- North Dakota: 298 (34) -- ranking unchanged
- Nebraska: 242 (40) -- up one (bad)
- South Dakota: 237(39) -- dropped one, from 40 (good)
- Montana: 160 (44) -- ranking unchanged
- Wyoming: 86 (50) -- ranking unchanged -- only Alaska is lower with 71 deaths / one million
