Tangent: The Sturgis motorcycle rally concluded recently.  People are now looking for evidence of virus transmission and spread secondary to the event...there have been some, but the real question is if the infections are happening at a rate higher than that of background community spread.  Being a motorcycle event, a lot of it was outside, but also being a party, there was a lot of indoor activity as well.

The first death linked to Sturgis has been reported:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/20...ronavirus/

The article notes that the event has been tied to 260 cases in 11 states, though if 400,000 attended, that does not seem like a disproportionate number.
