Re: Cure worse than the problem?
Wait a second. Don’t the people of South Dakota know the risk that they are taking? The governor is allowing people to make their own decisions. Isn’t that similar to pro-choice? People get to make their own decisions with their body?grizgirl wrote: ↑Mon Nov 23, 2020 3:50 pmYes, if he put them in there knowing that they would pass the disease on to them.

And your treatment of Cuomo is completely hypocritical. The left has been blaming Trump for this Covid pandemic, yet this was all new uncharted waters. Yet with Cuomo, you want to give him a pass because he didn’t know any better? That is the definition of hypocrisy.

So legalize driving drunk, right? I should be allowed to get hammered and drive without government interference. I mean I know the risk I’m taking and others know their risk as well.Cataholic wrote: ↑Mon Nov 23, 2020 5:57 pmWait a second. Don’t the people of South Dakota know the risk that they are taking?

And while I believe masks are a small act and everyone should wear a mask, why are you guys fixated on South Dakota? Are you just trying to make a political statement? Montana and many parts of the country are experiencing huge Covid issues right now, yet these locations have been under mask and social distancing measures, some quite restrictive. Why aren’t you guys talking about the spikes in those locales, or does that not fit your political agendas?

They are fixated on South Dakota because the Demedia outlets they follow consider Governor Kristi Noem as a huge threat, correctly, to their agendas. Noem has a bright future and, if she so chooses, will be a serious future President or VP candidate (more so than Nikki Haley, if you have to check the female box).Cataholic wrote: ↑Mon Nov 23, 2020 8:53 pmYou are better than that...

So if things are so bad in SD due to the governor’s lack of action, why are things so bad elsewhere where actions are very aggressive?

Re: Cure worse than the problem?
OMG! Saying something is "basically murder" isn't literally accusing anyone of murder. Like when it rains and you leave your muddy car outside, you're "basically washing" your car, you're not literally washing your car. If I was accusing her of murder, I'd be saying she should be arrested for murder. You just keep acting like Trump though and twisting everything you come across around to fit your projective narrative. You've got that act down to a T.

Noem has done nothing to protect the people of So. Dakota. Her failure could very well be the reason ND and eastern Montana are having as bad of problems as they're having. SD had an issue initially and never dealt with it and now ND and eastern MT are as well. Is it just a coincidence? Maybe, but you can't rule it out as a possible factor.

Noem encouraged crowds to see Donald Trump when he attended a fireworks display at Mount Rushmore in July, to attend the Sturgis motorcycle rally in August, to attend the State Fair in September and scoffed at science-driven precautions. South Dakota has reported more COVID-19 deaths per capita over the last week than anywhere else in the country, and it has the highest per capita rate of COVID-19 hospitalizations. South Dakota has an alarming positivity rate of almost 60% – nearly six out of 10 people who take a Covid test are infected – second only in the US to neighboring Wyoming. When asked about these numbers she respond, “That is absolutely false” and cited different data sources.grizgirl wrote: ↑Tue Nov 24, 2020 10:54 am

So other parts of the country might be bad but SOUTH DAKOTA IS THE WORST.

The Governor’s grandmother died in her Watertown, SD nursing home this past weekend. The nursing home has lost 8 people (there were 50) in 2 weeks after COVID was discovered at the facility.

No. A statement said that she did not “test positive” (note not a negative test) leaving speculation that no test was administered. Nearly all the residents and staff have contracted the virus, which is evident with losing 16% of the population in 14 days.iaafan wrote: ↑Wed Nov 25, 2020 10:00 amHas her grandmother's cause of death been announced?The Butcher wrote: ↑Wed Nov 25, 2020 9:52 amThe Governor’s grandmother died in her Watertown, SD nursing home this past weekend.

They had 50 some residents. They are down to 42. Out of those residents, 40 have tested positive for COVID-19. 16 staff have also tested positive.
