Maybe there were good reasons at the time for rejecting federal unemployment help. I can't say. But prematurely congratulating South Dakota for staying wide open has now been shown to be so horribly, *predictably* wrong.

#SouthDaCovid :
A long time back, I warned a tweep that the 1918-1920 killer-flu pandemic eventually also hit very remote, very isolated villages of Inuit/Eskimos in Alaska. South Dakota is *magnitudes* more connected with the world than they were.
I have very bad news for you about the rate of #COVID19 in North Dakota, and the overwhelming of hospitals there at the moment. #NorthDaCOVID :
1/ A week back or so, Eric Ding was retweeting bigly about nurses & medicos in Belgium being asked to work on despite being acutely infected with #COVID19. I pointed out at the time, that already happens in the USA.
"is allowing", huh, o rly.

2/ Someone asked me some days previously to give an estimate on when North Dakota and South Dakota hospitals would start getting overwhelmed by #COVID19. I played on the safe side, said around 3 weeks from that day of my prediction, quite possibly 2 weeks. A *safe* prediction
3/ Hospitals, ER's & ICU's get swamped by #COVID19 in several different ways:
a/ simple number of patients needing hospital care all at same time;
b/ doctors & nurses lost to either acute COVID_19 illness or to death caused by that;
c/ lack of sufficient PPE (see b/), oxygen, etc
