China has many times more people than America with higher population densities, yet it’s America that is the poster boy for how NOT to handle a pandemic. The Midwest is raging with COVID19 to no one’s surprise when they encouraged an event like Sturgis where a half million drunk bikers were cheered on to come party & the lead act singer proclaims “F..k COVID” to rapturous applause.
No, don’t give up! Do make the people who are blissfully helping COVID19 persona non grata!

I am sure that shunning someone will make some feel good about themselves. Those being shunned may not care, or not even notice. So the joke will be on the ones that make the effort to shun. My daughter gave me a "T" shirt that says "I DON'T CARE" on it in big white letters. She sends me a lot of interesting shirts. She will probably get me in trouble some day, but she does make me laugh. But, I digress. The point is that one person's point of view may be important to them, but hardly a thought to others. But, go ahead through the motions if it makes you feel good.
By the way, Sturgis is not all about getting together and drinking. It's big because thousands of folks travel there once a year to see the "bikes." Many of those bikes are owned by wealthy folks that invest hundreds of thousands of dollars in them. A lot of those folks are responsible adults that are hard working or retired, NOT drunken biker gang rejects. But, to some all bikers are the same.
