South Dakota Resisted Shutdown, Now It's a Hotspot

“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,” the Washington Post reports.

Did you see the latest from the CDC? According to their overall stats, 100 of those deaths are likely people 75+ years old and only 10 were purely Covid related while 50 had other conditions that were exacerbated by Covid
And we again fall back on

Fuck em...they're old...they were gonna die anyway?

Wrong.
The point is covid-19 is still going to kill them.
Slowing down the rate at which covid-19 infects people does not stop covid-19 from killing them.
The only solution any epidemic ever has always been herd immunity, (ecept Ebola), and that is the only way you could have saved these covid-19 deaths.
Social distancing maintains deadly epidemics longer than normal, so kills more.
The fact it takes longer to kill them all, is not an improvement.

Fuck the Washington post.
They're full of crap.
 
Now they're starting to die.

A Minnesota biker died from Covid he contracted at Sturgis. 260 bikers have contracted it and spread it to theor home states...and that is likely an undercount...

That of course doesn't take into account the spike in SD itself since that ill advised bike rally

The hell you say. We're NOT "all going to catch it" if we mitigate properly
The only solution any epidemic ever has always been herd immunity,

Nonsense. That's a death sentence for millions

Fake News. NJ's death rate is 0.02% and you never said squat. SD's death rate is 0.005%

If North Dakota was a country, it would have the biggest outbreak in the world.
