Summary

The rally reportedly drew 125,000 people to Central Missouri last year, and plenty of people arrived this week, too, few of whom seemed to be worried about spreading or contracting the virus.“You can ask any biker, or whatever, anything going on in the world, it ain’t gonna stop us riding,” one attendee told a local television network, KYTV, at the rally.But public health experts fear what could come from thousands of people descending on the scenic reservoir to chat, drink and — in a contest created by organizers — visit a group of 24 restaurants, bars and wineries for a chance for a chance to win a Harley-Davidson motorcycle.“It’s almost an explosive petri dish to me,” Steve Edwards, the president of a hospital network in Missouri, told KOLR, a local television network.The experts’ fears are not unfounded.South Dakota saw a sharp increase in virus cases after the 10-day motorcycle rally in Sturgis ended Aug. 16 — and nearly 2,000 new cases in the past week. The festival had already been rescheduled to November, from April, because of the pandemic.An uptick in U.S. virus cases this week is being driven, in part, by a surge of infections in the Southwest and the Midwest, where many students have returned to classes in schools or on college campuses.The cases are rising sharply in North Dakota, Colorado, Wyoming and particularly dramatically in Wisconsin, where the number of infections being reported each day is now more than double what it was two weeks ago, with more than 2,500 infections reported on Friday, the most ever in the state.The number of new infections being reported daily nationwide remains down from the peak in mid-July, when, at one point, more than 75,000 cases were reported in a single day. But other areas have struggled to keep cases from returning as students arrived in college towns and some primary and secondary schools opened their doors.The infections in Wisconsin appear to be driven in part by young people, including college students, testing positive in places like Madison and La Crosse.In Boulder County, Colo., which had the state’s second highest infection rate over the last week on average, five of the six active outbreaks were tied to fraternity and sorority houses at the University of Colorado Boulder, according to a state database.About 87 percent of the record number of cases reported on Friday in La Crosse County, along the Mississippi River, were among people 10 to 29 years old, according to The La Crosse Tribune. Those numbers are driven in part by a rash of infections at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse, where nearly 250 people have tested positive in the last nine days and where an entire freshman dorm was ordered to shelter in place last week.Cases have also risen sharply in Utah, which reported more than 1,000 infections on Friday for the first time.Utah has recently come under fire from schoolteachers, who said this week that the governor and school officials were failing to protect them after several schools remained open despite registering more than 15 positive cases among staff members and students, The Salt Lake Tribune reported.And Montana reported more than 250 new cases on Saturday, a single-day record. Montana’s total cases per capita, however, remain among the lowest in the country.Hot spots are forming at colleges there, too, with more than 762 people at Brigham Young University becoming infected since late August, more than 60 percent of whom tested positive this past week.Large outbreaks expanded on campuses as new semesters were underway.Two days before Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s death on Friday, the Supreme Court announced that it would again hear arguments by telephone when the justices return from their summer break on Oct. 5.“The court building remains open for official business only and closed to the public until further notice,” a spokeswoman, Kathleen Arberg, said in a news release.It has been more than six months since the justices met in person.
