Oh my goodness. This is so silly. That's the liberal idea of a viral "hotspot"? Is there no claim too silly for liberals not to gobble up if it fits their agenda?

Covid-19 Cases And Deaths Per State In The US

The first confirmed case in the US was in January of 2020, but as of March, those numbers are rising. New York State alone has taken a hit with over 380,000 cases.

It's bullshit.

If you look at a SD map with cases....they are 90% in one county (where the meat packing plant is). The rest of the state is almost untouched.

Their per capita deaths are under 4, NY is in the 180s. The commies just need to have something to cry about.

That's my posting of statistics from the very rural state of 400,000. With some of the COVID-19 deniers claiming that models showing the state with 40-50 deaths being totally wrong.

Who owns the Smithfield plant? Who lost 300K swine not long ago?

Of course that's not the lesson to be learned from Smithfield nor does that address the actual problem.

Smithfield is dead to me. I personally boycott everything Smithfield anyway.

They let the Chinese buy them out a couple years back.

Which has nothing at all to do with the outbreak there.

The "outbreak" in that state is a yuge nothingburger, you stupid fuck.

The cluster is all in one county.

The rest of the state has almost nothing.

Shit.

I'll bet the people of South Dakota are killing to move to New York.

I guess we needed a test case..for those that believe the social distancing and stay at home orders were not needed:

South Dakota’s governor resisted ordering people to stay home. Now it has one of the nation’s largest coronavirus hot spots.

As governors across the country fell into line in recent weeks, South Dakota’s top elected leader stood firm: There would be no statewide order to stay home.
Such edicts to combat the spread of the novel coronavirus, Gov. Kristi L. Noem said disparagingly, reflected a “herd mentality.” It was up to individuals — not government — to decide whether “to exercise their right to work, to worship and to play. Or to even stay at home.”
And besides, the first-term Republican told reporters at a briefing this month, “South Dakota is not New York City.”

But now South Dakota is home to one of the largest single coronavirus clusters anywhere in the United States, with more than 300 workers at a giant pork-processing plant falling ill. With the case numbers continuing to spike, the company was forced to announce the indefinite closure of the facility Sunday, threatening the U.S. food supply.
Increasingly exasperated local leaders, public health experts and front-line medical workers begged Noem to intervene Monday with a more aggressive state response.
“A shelter-in-place order is needed now. It is needed today,” said Sioux Falls Mayor Paul TenHaken, whose city is at the center of South Dakota’s outbreak and who has had to improvise with voluntary recommendations in the absence of statewide action.

But over the course of last week, the numbers surged as the virus ripped through the city’s Smithfield Foods production plant, a colossus that employs 3,700 people — many of them immigrants — and churns out 18 million servings of pork product per day.
On Monday alone, 57 more workers were confirmed to have positive diagnoses, bringing the total well above 300 — and making it one of the country’s largest clusters. Other major clusters include Cook County Jail in Chicago and the USS Theodore Roosevelt aircraft carrier.
The Smithfield cases amount to more than a third of the state’s overall total, which stood at 868 on Monday, including six deaths, in a state of nearly 900,000 people.
Over the weekend, Smithfield bowed to growing pressure and said it would shutter the facility indefinitely in a bid to contain the spread — though Smithfield leaders cautioned that the action could severely disrupt the nation’s food supplies. The factory, like other food production facilities, had earlier been deemed essential by the federal government.
The shutdown of the Sioux Falls plant, coupled with other closures, “is pushing our country perilously close to the edge in terms of our meat supply,” Kenneth Sullivan, Smithfield president and chief executive, said in a statement. “It is impossible to keep our grocery stores stocked if our plants are not running.”

What you got was a county....1 county with just about the entire problem.

I don't believe Rapid City has had one death (there are only 44 overall).

I've been to Rancid City. Probably what happened was, Covid 19 tried to enter there and it was robbed, raped and murdered and the other Covid 19s decided to bypass it.
