South Dakota has the 2nd highest infection rate in the country (after North Dakota), with 11.7% testing positive. It also has the 6th highest death rate: one out of every 558 South Dakotans have died of COVID-19.

We can debate about why exactly that is and what measures are effective or not, but they shouldn't be sitting there slapping each other on the backs like chuckleheads, amid this unfolding disaster.
To put this in context, there is only ONE country in the world with a higher COVID-19 per capita death toll than South Dakota, and that's tiny San Marino. There is NO country in the world reporting a higher infection rate than South Dakota.
It makes me want to scream.
