The only lower 48 state west of the Mississippi that has a sensible quarantine policy is New Mexico. Most have no quarantines at all.
It's time for sensible, health conscious states to put these in place. (Listen up: CA, WA, CO, etc!) This includes for all attendees at Sturgis crossing into another state. These are big states that are almost impossible to cross without a gas stop at a minimum.

(14,491 posts)Shaking hands, hugging and fiddling with each other's bikes and then touching the mouth, eyes and nose can certainly spread this virus. There's a lot of loud-mouth talk and shouting in close proximity around bikes too, which makes spread by air a possibility.
Those are things that are easy to forget for anyone.
But you're right....they'll all be going into lodgings, restaurants, service stations and stores their entire trip.

(16,785 posts)Double masks for the shit these rally attendees will be spewing. Filth, bad breath, insults of all kinds.
The t-shirts from Sturgis should read...I WENT TO STURGIS in 2020. ALL I GOT WAS THIS KILLER DISEASE.
That should drive the message home.
