Difficult to catch a bug when you're way out in the booneys.

Sioux Falls has been a massive hotspot of Coronavirus for a city of it's size. It seems like likely much of the city was exposed at the same time due to the fantastic health care infrastructure and health care of the people that the deaths and severe illness was kept at a very low level.

Wow, those hospitals must be world-class in South Dakota. I have noticed very similar patterns in Utah.

South Dakota and Utah are very unique. Both have had very, very low mortality rates.

Sioux Falls has been extremely hard hit but seems to be leveling off. I wonder if Sioux Falls might be close to herd immunity and despite being one of the hardest-hit cities the health care infrastructure and health of the population was able to keep the number of deaths to an extremely low level compared to NYC.

It's just typical Göbbeling.

As if South Dakota, a State whose population is twice the size of Iceland, really matters.

The OP thinks COVID-19 is migratory, like the African Swallow. It flies around randomly infecting people.

Seriously, how many of the 833,000 people who live in South Dakota are traveling overseas on business or gallivanting around the Rivera on a weekly basis?

I would venture to guess exactly ZERO.

More likely, one or perhaps two people traveled to Seattle or NYC and picked it up and brought it back.
