Bullshit ! Lying media
To its credit, North Dakota has had the second fastest vaccine rollout, behind only West Virginia, in terms of percentage of allocated doses used.💉
Honestly who cares about South and North Dakota??? You both choose your path now deal with it….its called cause and effect and you learn this in grade school as a kid….you listened to Trump and now your having issues and want the rest of America to have compassion and help….I would ask Trump for help or lean on your governor as he would say…
If you go to bad neighborhood and get shot the 1st thing people are going to say is you should have never been there which and you deserved that for being in such a bad neighborhood….same concept here for North and South Dakota
New Brunswick Canada is roughly the same size in population and land mass as North Dakota. It began mask mandates and social distancing very early on in the pandemic, as well as listening to it’s leading health professionals. As of today, it has had 8 deaths, and under 600 cases in total.
You can't educate people who are unwilling to learn.
This is on them. If they choose to live this way, fine.
But…
Stay your ass right where you are.
First it was a hoax, The numbers were fake, and would disappear after November. Then the "fake hoax" could be cured by hydroxychloroquine. After that, we were told to reuse mask, put UV light and disinfectant within our bodies. Then the same genius, got infected with something that was supposedly fake, got medication that no one in the country has access to… While maintaining the chant to reopen this nation fully 🙄.
Put the mayor to work in the front line because I believe if she had to work in the front line because she should tell people to mask or close the hospital
South Dakota actually has a lower death rate than the United States overall. South Dakota's death rate, according to CDC numbers, it's only 1.7%. The United States overall has a 2.0% death rate.
Today's figures show 12.5 million cases so far of covid-19. It also states that maybe there have been 258,000 deaths. (Probably fewer because on April 14th the CDC no longer required lab tests for covid-19 on dead people)
If you do the math, that comes out to a 2% death rate. (Down from 2.3 last week) That means that 98% of people who get covid, SURVIVE! It is probably more because we will never really know how many people actually got infected. 98% or better chance of survival! And that is if you get the virus! I will take those odds any day of the week!!
I respect the rights and freedoms of every North Dakotan to infect other people they will never even meet and to kill them……
Krist Noem, what a stupid nut case sheis. She belongs in prison for killing so many people. She took no actions to be virus safe.
Let me guess all these rural areas are trump supporters now with all coronavirus where is your leader NOW??????"
Just hang a blonde wig(Trump lookalike wig) and covid19 will never harm/infect your family. Wear it to work/schools for safety reason.
I saw the survival rate is high so thats good news!
Don't believe the numbers. They get a kick back from Gov for ever case 13, 000.00 am if U need a ventervator it cost than hosp gets a kick back 35,000.00 they make it bigger than what it is. Know person was tested said, positive but they redid it it than show negative. Something is fishy. Its call dollar signs. Make sure its covid not just a fever of something else an call it covid.
The problem is that the US thinks the answer should be easy. No, it won't be fixed by not going out for a week or two or through just wearing a mask.. It's not just shutting bars and restaurants until some idiots start bleating freedom and then throwing them open again. Or forcing people back to work because they need to pay bills and feed themselves. People going crazy isolated in their homes because they don't know what is real because Fox News feeds them lies, other media channels are incompetent and politicians show no leadership ability or have their own agenda. Most of all, the US education system is so bad that people are not even taught the basics of how to research facts.
Our team of 5 million here in New Zealand had a serious lock down for months, we were financially supported where necessary, we had the technology for a lot of us to be able to work from home, our essential workers (NOT hairdressers – WTF!?) were fully supported and given respect . During the months of lock down I went to the supermarket twice. Home delivery was the norm.
Now we have no virus in the community. A couple of times it has escaped from border control but our detection, prevention and eradication controls are so effective that it was eliminated very quickly.
Your country needs less selfishness, lee's bleating about fake freedoms, better education, better leadership, better community, more caring about each other, and a whole lot more discipline. Most of all, a real lock down is required – not the chaos that the USA pretends is going to work.
Our lives here are back to normal apart from a greater concern with hygiene, wearing masks on public transport and signing in when we enter public buildings like shops, gyms, libraries etc. Every day I am thankful I live in a sane country where I can go to restaurants, bars, community functions and social gatherings with no fear of the virus and no fear that I may cause someone's death.
Six months? lol I hope you all get it! NOW! lol
The worst Covid19 state in the world is N Dakota. Miserable. One in every 10 people has been contracted. Please keep the rule.
DONALD TRUMP : FAKE NEWS
if you live in a Dakota…. you're suffering from the worse governors alive. Failure reflects leadership.
The state with the highest Covid outbreak and the least mask wearing. Do ya think that maybe, yah-know, they are, cun-ect-tud?
My goodness! What about the health care workers who do not have the virus? And all around you have Covid. Not just the patients but also your colleagues? And still no mask mandates. How shocking!
LOLOLOL
Folks in ND: Stupidity has always been dangerous for one's own life. You're getting what you asked for. ND is now as COVID-red as it is Republican-red. One leads to the other.
Put the less sick in isolated hotels with supervision.
American bravado and ignorance dug a huge hole for them.
Maybe the folks that believe in individual freedom and get covid get put at the back of the line.
If you guys want to help your health professionals INFORCE the shut down. Don't just talk about it.
Too bad (R)'s just keep voting for these people who refuse to expand healthcare for the working poor even if the government paid 100% just not good enough.
post script, North Dakota mayor looks like Superman.
North Dakota's billionaire govenor gave 16 million of Care funds to oil companies instead of helping people suffering in his state. He has done nothing to help people and ignored the crisis in his state.
I look at the comments and nobody mentions that average person that dies is 78 years old. But no lets lock down everyone and ruin their lives and their careers. This scamdemic has gone on long enough. If I am 65+ plus sure go lock yourself in your house for 2 years. Everyone else who wants to venture out into the world so be it.
North Dakota literally ignored every warning sign about this pandemic. I have friends and family working from Williston to Whapeton. The bullshit lack lustre butTrumper response by Burgum all for money…
They lived………….but they were dumb……………they died
Who cares! Brainwashed idiots, follow your devil daddy straight to HELL!
