SD Gov. Noem Drops a Truth Bomb on Critics Demanding She Issue a Stay-at-Home Order
[TOWNHALL] South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem (R) is one of the few governors that decided not to issue a stay-at-home order during the Wuhan coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague)
...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men...
pandemic. Her decision was based on the fact that her state had very few cases and she did not want to trample on South Dakotans' civil liberties.

Critics are now citing an outbreak at the Sioux Falls Smithfield Foods, which had 438 employees test positive for the virus, as a reason to issue a lockdown. Another 107 people who came into contact with the processing plant also tested positive. As of now, the state has 1,311 cases of the Wuhan coronavirus and seven deaths.

Despite that, Noem believes a statewide stay-at-home order is not the answer.

"We have one issue at a pork processing plant in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, but outside of that, two-thirds of our state has no cases or one case in an entire county," Noem explained to Fox News' Laura Ingraham. "We're doing really well as a state and addressing the one hot spot that we do have and aggressively testing in that area."

#5 Just like with "gun control," it seems the places with the most draconian measures in place have the most problems. Of course it mainly comes down to population density, but regulating that is simply not on the table. Yet.

Just one little addition for you, ma'am. It's likely to have some bearing on the matter.

#17 Maybe they wouldn't have pushed 'work while sick' if the Chinese Swine Flu wasn't destroying (not decimating) their home-grown pigs.
