What would you have her do instead?

The COVID-19 death rate as a percentage of the estimated 2019 population of South Dakota, 884,659, is .06%. The death rate as a percentage of DOH’s confirmed positive cases of COVID-19 at confirmed cases 53,486 is about 1%. Confirmed cases do not include antigen tests.

The death rate for heart disease as a percentage of the 884,659 population is .20%. The death rate for cancer as a percentage of the 884,659 is .18%. The death rates would increase if taken as a percentage of the population that has heart disease or cancer.

Death rates for age categories as listed by the DOH vary. Twelve percent of those 80 and older with COVID-19 have died from it compared to 3.22% of those 70 to 79 years old. Those are followed by 1.35% in the 60 to 69 range, .48% in the 50 to 59 range, .18% in the 40 to 49 range, .083 in the 30 to 39 range and .018% in the 20 to 29 range. There have been no COVID-19 deaths individuals 19 and younger.

Iowa has changed it's time. Anti mask governor Reynolds has mandated masks limited gatherings etc. Time for Noem to suck it up.

News says there is 69 hospitalized with covid , this all the beds in the province?

I see Moe changed his mind on masks for everyone. Common sense prevails.

At least he listens to his scientific advisers and experts most of the time even if he is a little slow on the uptake.

He sets an example for some of the scientifically challenged who would rather ignore and dismiss science.
